If you think the father is someone you could drink a beer or any alcoholic drink with and loosen him up so you can talk to him, go for it. It's a problem if you drink.

And why is it that people reacted to horribly to the thread where I stated I am with a 15 year old girl, but you get nothing but cheers? Sure, you're two years younger and she's a year older, but I don't see nearly as much poor advice here than in my thread. Probably my wording. Nothing against you, OP, as I'm cheering for you all the way.
