I have two older sisters and an older brother. (they're all married and moved out though) So I am sure my dad has gone through meeting boyfriends and girlfriends a many of times. My parents got divorced when I was younger so when I bring up meeting my boyfriend it's not like my mum can come to my rescue to support me or something.
In fact, my mum already knows about my boyfriend and she is pretty overjoyed. But my parents rarely talk...they basically hate each other.
I told my dad about my boyfriend on Saturday. We talked for a little while, and its Sunday now. All he wanted to know is that this guy isn't some jerk and that I don't lose focus on college plans.
Earlier, he seemed in a good mood and was watching a movie...so I decided to bring up my boyfriend again. I brought him up trying to get a conversation going hoping it would eventually lead to him wanting to meet the guy...but no such luck. My dad didn't really keep it going. So I waited about 20 minutes and brought him up again.
I said something like, "Hey dad, when you do you wanna meet ____?"
He got defensive a bit and said, "I don't know, why do you keep bringing him up?" Then he asked me how old my boyfriend was again and how I met him. (i already told him all this yesterday though...)
I am frustrated because to me, it seems as if he's not interested in who I'm dating. /:
Am I right to think that way? Or...:confused:
