In December this guy started talking to me again and we got on very well. I got XBL and we played Halo 3 like all the time together. Feelings started to develop and over a short period of time we both realised that we'd fallen in love with each other. My dad had started to wonder who I was always on the phone to and we had a bit of a discussion about whether or not this lad could be who he says he is. We met for the first time at the beginning of the month and things seemed really well.. He then asked me out and I said yes, we met up again... (£222 spent on train tickets in one month!) I just have no idea on how to tell my dad that I'm going out with this guy because I know he'll flip.. I find it really hard to approach my dad about guys, and I can't go to my mother cos she refuses to speak to me. Has anyone got any ideas on how I could approach my dad about my boyfriend?

reader, anonymous, writes (22 April 2008): An undesired situation is made favorable when presented in contrast to the taboo. Tell your dad that you have a girlfriend, and get one of your female friends to pose as your lesbian partner when you give him the news. He shouldn't explode too badly on you with another person there. Then, as this unthinkable news starts to sink in tell him it was a poorly timed joke and that you're really straight. In fact, you have a boyfriend that you're seeing in the next town. Believe me, hun, he'll be so over-joyed that your not gay he'll actually be glad that you are seeing this guy. Best wishes! ~heidi
