The Dating Stories/Progress thread

The next chance you get, tell him your Dad is getting involved with communication, so you might not be able to respond when you want to. Whether your Dad is in the moral right or not, it's something you're probably going to have to live with for another 3 years (
i'm assuming. I don't know how old you are.) By then, maybe your relationship with Erik will have matured. If it truly is meant to be, then it will survive this issue. If not, then it won't. It sucks, but hey...sometimes going through some level of suck is what's needed to prove to yourself that something is worth having. If Erik really loves you back, not only will he understand, but he'll wait for you.

So I've written up a note to give to my dad that will hopefully clear things up and allow us to talk again because god daisies it's only been a day but I miss talking to Erik and I'm sure he's missing me too


Now I just need to find a time when he's away from his computer for an extended period of time

[Kergan]

Wait, you plan to tell everything to your dad with a note ?
I'm not sure I understood well, but if it's really what you plan to do ... I can assure you it's a bad idea.
Worse, it's a VERY bad idea. If you really want to talk to your father (and I hope you do, because it would be a good thing), you need to do it directly. Trust me on this one.

[TerraChimaera]

The only reason I'm coming out/explaining via note is because I'm way too nervous to just talk to him directly

[luroberto]

I came out to my mom over a Facebook message.
She really didn't mind.
Do it however you want to, and don't let anyone else tell you different.
You're only ready when you're ready, and you will do it how you want to do it and how you feel it's right.

[Kergan]

Well then my bad, considering I have no experience in coming out, you'd better follow luroberto's advice.

so that girl I was dating suddenly cut off all communication with me. She just got back in town from being gone for a week, a mutual friend text me that her sister saw my (ex) with some other dude at taco bell. later I dropped by her house, and her dad threatens to kick my shit because "he just talked to her, and she said im not her boyfriend and to stop calling"

even though i hadnt heard from her since she had to go to "Germany" on "family emergency"

man, I have some luck

[Rinoko]

Wait, what the heck?

[shazza]

she sounds like a winner -___-

My dad didn't notice the nite, moving it somewhere else tomorrow

Man, if a third of the country didn't freak out about 10% of 7,000,000,000+ people because some old mistranslated racist sexist homophobic book tells them to this would be so much easier

[Lotharu]

some old mistranslated racist sexist homophobic book

Thanks for insulting my religion.
It's not the book, its the people.

[Tammerath]

Not every Christian "freaks out" about gay people you know

[TerraChimaera]

Sorry, sorry
That's just my Atheism side kicking in

[Lotharu]

Also, I know you should come out however you feel best, but leaving a note around the house and hoping he'll find it is a little too... passive? In my opinion.

Terra this kind of attitude is probably more of the reason your dad is restricting your privileges. You're blowing things way out of proportion. Try to understand where your dad is coming from, then grin and bear it until you're older and mature enough to handle infatuation.
