Anyways, i amnot looking for reassuarance. Am i a bad girlfriend to even say "comeon" while he is talking to my dad because i think my dad will think heis weird? I love him ALOT but i can't stop feeling guilty. I want yourhonest opinions though. I know it must be a OCD thought if i amstressing so much over it but it is a true thought. Thanks.

I don't think you have anything to worry about. We all like to have the respect and aggreement of our parents, as we respect them enough to value their opinion. If you're worried your dad will think your boyfriend is weird, you're just worrying about the normal things people think when they bring anyone home to meet the people they love and respect most in the world: their parents.
It's nice that you care so much about what your dad thinks and about your boyfriends' feelings but stop stressing! I'm sure he's not weird and I'm sure your dad would tell you if he thought there was something bad about the guy. Who cares if he is a bit weird, aren't we all sometimes?! I can think of much worse things for my daughters boyfriend to be.
Maybe talking to your dad will stop you stressing so much. Good luck.

I don't think it's OCD, I think you're just overthinking something that really isn't that a big deal because really, it doesn't matter what your dad thinks of your boyfriend and vice versa since it's you two who's dating and as long as you love each other the third person is irrelevant.
