Daughters often find it difficult to discuss boy friends with their dads. It seems as though dad will never approve of any guy! Cheer up. The man you marry will feel the same way about your daughter. Most moth ers feel the same way about the girls their sons date. Why? Fathers don’t trust their daughters to the normal tempestuous drives of teenage fellows. Mothers fear that their sons aren’t up to resisting the wiles of ambitious girls. Besides, your dad loves you so much he may secretly fear that you will find a fellow with all the qualities that he feels he no longer possesses. In other words, both of these men in your life are competing for your ad miration and affection. Don’t neglect your dad, while trying to cultivate friendship with a boy friend. This personal feeling in no way underestimates the value of dad’s judgment. Listen to and obey youi: parents. If the guy or girl is “ right,” then assure your parents that this “ dreamboat” doesn’t take their place in your heart. Of course, this “ some body” is never “right” if not a strong Christian. Perhaps this is a reason for your dad’s attitude. Listen to this dad who loves you so much. That’s why God gave him to you. 7. Date only Christians who live for the Lord. If you haven’t previously observed these rules and your parents are un cooperative, you will have to plan on a long range program of rebuild ing their confidence in you. You broke it down. You’ll have to build it up. Your parents would be delinquent if they were unconcerned about you. They cannot give you complete free dom too soon and too suddenly. Re spect their wishes. They’re supposed to know more about life than you do. Re-read this and then think! You do have wonderful parents after all. Have you told them so lately? Con sider your father. You may think he’s old-fashioned. He may even embar rass you at times. But have you con sidered how sharp he was to win the love of the greatest woman of earth — your mother?
and uncooperative about my social life. Why can’t they trust me? No matter who my date is, my daddy doesn’t like him. What can I do?” Many fine young people find it difficult to convince parents that their social activities are wholesome. Your parents do worry about you. It is difficult for you to understand this, because it seems so natural for you to like young people of the opposite sex. You resent parental interference and advice, because you are sure that everything is so “ right.” You can understand your parents’ position, if you try. Fellows and girls do get into trouble. Mothers and fa thers read about it every day. They can’t shut their eyes to the problem. Parents are afraid when they are not “ let in’ on the whole story. You think it’s great fun to have secrets and act mysteriously, but that causes your parents to fear all the more. It isn’t grown up to act secretively. Actual ly, it’s a vestige of your childhood days when you would impishly chant, “ I know something you don’t know!” Remember? You were only five then! Your parents remember too. It makes them wonder if you are ma ture enough for dating, when you revert to pre-adolescent behavior. Your parents trust you more than you realize, and you can increase their confidence in you. Try these suggestions: 1. Let them meet and get ac quainted with your date. 2. Don’t act ashamed. Of whom are you ashamed? Your date or your parents? 3. Never date secretly and don’t act as though there was something to hide. You’re cutting your own throat. 4. Share some of your plans with them. Ask about their courtship days and tease them a little. 5. Tell them where are you going on a date. You’ll be lots happier if they know. 6. Play fair about returning home on time. The fellow should be just as prompt in returning the girl as he was in coming for her.
