Parents usually see things in others that we can't see if we are in love. Ask your dad what he doesn't like him. If it's a good reason (like he is unemployed or he doesn't want to work-study) then listen to your dad and try to analyze the facts.

I have been through different relationships and believe me, my parents have always seen things that later on I realize they are true.

Why doesn't Dad like him? A lot of guys are sweet, hun but respect, compassion and good character are key ingredients to choosing a fellow who is good for you and your life. If you feel he has these traits, maybe you can sit with Dad and find out 'why' he doesn't like him. And when you do talk to Dad..really listen to what he says and Sometimes, parents can clue into 'signs and indicators' that will tell them, when someone is not appropriate for their adult children. Dad may have some serious concerns. Open your heart and keep an open mind. Base your decisions in life, on usuing your head not always going with your heart. Sometimes, the heart blurs our common sense. So talk to Dad, open the channels of communications and get to the bottom of this. Good luck, dear.

kenny agony auntWithout knowing to much about why he dosen't like him, all you can do is explain to your father what a nice sweet guy he is, and hope he changes his mind.

Good luck x
