‘’ Every human being is unique in their own ways and so are our ways of thinking. He can be a complete sports lover, and you love modeling. He wants you to be focusED in life, and you want to party and be with friends, and the list of differences go one …. ‘’.

Having different areas of interest between you and your pops have to lead to you separating your life with him. Find something familiar which both of you always did together after all you are his daughter, so there has to be something familiar you both like. Go with him to watch a sports match of his choice, sit with him playing chess or ask him to help you in cooking a dish loved by you both.
Once you both get involved into an activity, talk to him about topics or even those moments of life when you both had lots of laugh or fun, which will make both of you happy talking about. Tell him about how you used to lie to him so you could go night out with friends.

Get personal, share with him about this super cute guy who wants to take you out for a date He is your father, he will never be angry on you hanging out with your guy friends. It is a nerve recking situation but prepares yourself from before, to take the conversation smoothly so that your parents can meet him.

Talk something sweet the guy you going out on a date with said about your dad when you told him about how good and a caring father he has been till date ( Don’t tell him how hot he looks when wearing skin fit jeans or when he pushes his hair back and presses his lips while talking to you ). Tell him your date is scared to meet your dad because of his strict and protective nature when it comes to taking his daughter out for dinner.

Find out what is common between your father and your date and talk more on that, to smoothen the conversation about your guy coming home to meet your parents.

You can say everything to your Mom but when it comes to your dad, his strict natures always pushes you back, even when you know without his permission, doing anything won't be nice
Because naturally, a father has a protective character towards his daughter, your mother is more in your comfort zone than your dad as your mother has already passed that stage of her life, so you feel comfortable with her. But also not to be forgotten, your dad has passed through the same phase in his younger days.

So, when you can't hold it in you no more, approach him and ask if he has got some spare time for you as you want to speak to him about something important. It might feel awkward and odd for a few minutes and he might even say something straightaway just be patient and listen to him first, rather than replying him right away as if you hear you will understand his point of view, which will make it easier for you to say after he's done with the talking.

Him being a male can even give you tips which might help you out in learning something out of it too.You and your dad now barely see each other, whereas before you gave him all your quality time with swimming classes, guitar lessons, weekend plans.You have to understand, that as you grow into adulthood and your dad goes into more maturity, he would always want the same time you used to spend with him.

He will not tell you that on your face anymore, because he knows your busy working towards your career and he doesn’t want his love to get in the way for you to get distracted.

It’s you who have to squeeze time out to spend with him. Like eating Sunday morning breakfast together, go out with him to an ice cream parlour or even go on a long drive , just to give him that assurance that even tho you are busy, but you will always take time out to be with him assuring him you love him the same way he loves you to bits.

Yes, there are times when something urgent comes up, but make sure to let him know that you will make up that time sometimes again, you know to assure him that time of yours will not only make him feel loves but also would create a father-daughter bonding strong forever.

He still treats you like as if your even a small child. He keeps on regularly checking if you had your food on time or telling you something you told him to remind you. He doesn't let you out of his radar even though he knows you are an adult and independent.

It does sound like a third degree, but what you as his daughter need to understand that he has always been there from you being a newborn baby till a fully grown young girl. He had cleaned your toilet, fed you milk when you cried, made sure you get the best school/ university for a better future, always made sure you never had financial worries- just so that you can have a better life. So he just can't let go of that caring nature only because you have now grown up.

What you can do is assure him calmly that you are not a small baby anymore but a grown adult who take wise and responsible decisions. The best trick which always works is before even he calls you and asks where are you, be proactive and tell him where you are and you love him and assure him beforehand that you are safe.

Last but not the least you can never take that father character out of him. As a result, his father character would come out now and then, you just need to understand and calmly make him know to make him feel better.

‘As a father is your best friend not just by words but because he means it from his heart.’
