He PROPOSED...but my father doesnt like him?

Question

ok so he proposed, but my father doesnt like him. i already said yes but he has to go ask my dad for permission first...

i dont see why my father doesnt like him, he is a good Lebanese Catholic man successful a gentleman and good looking

i am afraid he is not going to approve of him, and if he doesnt it is going to kill me inside....is there any way to change my dad's mind about this..???

Answer 1

sometimes a man can know much about another man just from one look , open up to your father , gain his confidence , and then what ever he tells u , tell us and we will all think it together . OK goooooooooood luck

Answer 2

this is an easy one, If he really loves you he would love your family, if he knows that your father doesnt like him he needs to win him over, if your dad says anything mean to him have him stand his ground. when dealing with significant other's parents there is no eagle or pride, all those have to be gone if hes a real man, respect is the key to over come your dad if he keep showing that he respects your dad then your dad has no choice but to fold and slowly you will see changes, bring the 2 arround each other more often. your dad knows whats best for you and dont want nothing less for you but for you to be happy and safe, so he will never try to break something up that is going to make you sad but what he will do is test your boyfriend/fiance strength and weaknesses, talk to your bf about and let him know that your dad doesnt like him and he will need to prove that he is man enough

good luck

If he went as far as proposing, then he definitely must want to be with you. As far as your father is concerned, it isn't he who is going to marry him. Therefore, the ultimate choice is yours. Follow your heart. If I was in the same situation (except that I'm a guy) I would definitely marry the girl of my dreams, even though my mom might not approve of her. Sometimes, parents can get pretty possessive.

You mentioned that he was catholic. Are you of a different religion? Maybe this is what is ticking off your father. Either way, it shouldn't matter.

Answer 4

I don't know the people involved but I would say if your dad doesn't like him, he will have a good reason why.

You should have a good talk with your dad. Not to get your way but to understand why he doesn't like your boyfriend.

As an older man, you will be able to see things in your boyfriend that you don't see and that your boyfriend doesn't see. Find out what those things are before you get upset with him.

Answer 5

Look as a Father of daughters & having gone through this twice myself , it is usually a shock when you realise your little girl has grown up all of a sudden.

This may not be about your man but about Dad letting go...maybe he sees it as a competition for your love!

Take it slowly ...give Dad time to become accustomed to the idea that you guys are serious & if all else fails , work on Mum & let her sort him out !

Good luck !

Answer 6

If this guy is truly a good guy like u said,that has the ability to get married and has the responsibilities than try to convience ur father that his what ur looking for,and try to make ur father ask Qs about this Guy to u,by giving him TRUE answers (Not false) about this guy.

If ur father really loves u and cares about u and knows what u really want ,than maybe ur father is right about this guy,who knows,cuz knowone on this earth cares about u more than ur own family.

All i can say that take ur time and think clearly,and good luck.

alfffffff mabroooooook!!!!!

try asking your dad the reason why, it could just be because he isnt ready to let you go yet and if that is it then he will come around...but he could know soemthin about him too...

gimme his name and i can ask around my lebanese catholic friends if they know somethin, houston aint that big u know

just talk to ur dad calmly and see why





when he says yes, i'll hire a dabke troupe and a professional bellydancer for the wedding okay??

{starts to zaghrettttttt}

Answer 8

Ask your dad about the reasons for he said no.
try to talk with him in a calm way, and try to make him see the virtues the man has.

can it be that your dad knows something about him that you dont know??
Ask him directly. I think it is the best way.

Good luck

Answer 9

You need to talk to your dad but at the end of the day, you must make your own decisions and be strong. This is about you two guys!
