Update: Depressed Crush

[dysterian]

So the last time I posted, I said the girl that I liked was depressed. I like her a lot, so I figured to ask her out. I did, and she said yes. I've been following your guy's advice, and it's been working out with me.
Now also, on a little side note, she's bi-sexual, but my Dad is opposed to gay rights. I'm not bi or anything, but i'm still afraid my Dad would be angry if he found out. So how am I supposed to tell him?

I'm glad it's working out well for you! You're very lucky :P

It's not up to you to tell him, it's up to her. He should only find out if she wants him to know, and even then she should be aware that by no means is she required to tell anyone she doesn't want to tell.

Thanks for the help! I appreciate it! :lol: Elysium

I would ignore what your dad thinks, especially since you like this girl. She is special to you and that is all that matters.

congratulations on your success! i'm glad things are working out for you two. :D:):D

as far as her sexuality goes, i'd just keep it to yourselves and hope your dad doesn't find out. if he does happen to, just stand up for what you both feel is right. in the mean time, what he doesn't know won't hurt him. that's how i do things with my mom at least.

If she's smart she'll know how to tolerate ignorance of your father, and just keep advocating for the issues she cares about on her own time.

This is a situation where sometimes leading a double-life, and forming your own ideals about what life means will differ from your parents, and to internalize this and understand that that's okay.
