"&amp;quot;Dear Teenmag.com: I am unofficially dating a guy, but I am hesitating because he just got out of jail on a DUI charge and my dad doesn&amp;#039;t approve. I really like this guy, but I want my dad to like him too. It&amp;#039;s really hard when you like someone and you can&amp;#039;t feel right being with him because you want what your parents want. I am 19 and I do have the right to choose, but I don&amp;#039;t want to lose a good relationship with my father over a guy.&amp;quot; \u2014Alicia Hey Alicia, My gut feeling says this: A lot of people get all the way through life without ever ending up in jail. Pick a guy who&amp;#039;s on the right path. It&amp;#039;s less worry and work for you, and your dad will be impressed by his daughter&amp;#039;s good judgment! You say you&amp;#039;re not officially dating yet. So why start? Don&amp;#039;t go there!   It sounds like your dad has your best interests at heart. And the fact that you care about what your father thinks makes me believe that the two of you have a pretty good relationship. You should never pick a boy over your father because boyfriends come and go, but your dad will always be your dad. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
