I am a dad of three one married and what might be uncomfortable for you in talking to him is probably just as uncomfortable for him. See Dads cannot show that but kids can. We still have to be the dad no matter the consequence and there is some things we accept and we are not all knowing as we are people just like you. Comfortability in chatting with him won't start east but it has to start and after it starts it will get easier, I promise. Do not dicard an avenue you think is important with your dad simply because of tension or it is uncomfortable. I will bet that your dad seeing your reaction in a conversation would make it as comfortable as he was able.. The next time even easier. If you both have bridges to get over wouldn't it be easier to go over them together than by yourselves. There is no rule that says who has to start the communication, if that is what you desire. He will not turn you away and when you talk to him if you look into his eyes that will tell you exactly what you need to know. God bless you both. It is as difficult being a parent as being a kid. Meet in the middle!

If you love him and feel that you can count on him for his support when it is needed the most just talk after all you are and always will be daddy's little girl and he will love you no matter what. believe me I know I have a daughter too and she can tell me anything even if I don't like it I understand that I to had to learn things in my own way just as she do. I don't want to see her sad and I will defend her to the end and hell help anyone that hurts her because heaven won't take him when I'm done. Baby Talk to him. You are daddy's little girl and will always be no matter what age you are. just don't rob him all the time like mine do me.

Just sit down with him. Let him know that you are nervous about being open with him. Take it slow and you both will open up when you are ready.
I am definitely Daddy's little girl and I am 35. I can tell him anything. But, it took me a while to realize that all I was confused about, he had seen in his relationships with women, and in life.
I know we don't like to think of our father that way but, he is only human :-)
Your Daddy is the best man you will have in your life...
And the one you can always count on!
And make sure you tell him 'Happy Father's Day'!
:-)

This is a really hard thing to do, but sit your father down and tell him what's on your mind. Make sure that he doesn't interrupt you and you're open and honest with him. Tell your father that you want an open and honest relationship and you want to be able to talk to him comfortably. I know that you want to be closer to your father, so do whatever you can to try and open his doors. I hope my advice will work so good luck!

okay take a deep breath , sit him down , tell him that u have somthing to tell him. you don't want him to flip out but u need his input. tell him that u love him and just spit it out. then u will feel so much better. What the worst thing that he can do ? he loves you and he is going to give u his opion, you don't have to like it , but you will know just how he feels about it. be brave and communicate, he might get mad at u, but he will get over it. once it sinks in GOOD LUCK!!!!!!!

ok first step: pay no attention to what allmypraise said
second step: I had similar problems with my dad I felt like I couldn't connect with him on any meaningful level; it helps to talk about personal things so he really feels the love and trust you have for him and make sure not to alienate him from your world.

your mom may be telling him, but you could talk to him anyway.
he may protest a little to begin with.
start with something easy and just keep talking for a few minutes.
then let him think about it.

not to be a smarta$$, but, talk to him
start with little stuf and ease into telling him things, that should work, cuz then you can both get used to talking to each other

Hopefully you won't tell him 'everything'.
Because no father wants to hear 'everything'.
Especially when it comes to guys, if your having sex- don't tell him. Even after your married.
