Dating Advice to My Daughter

Offering dating advice to my daughter is a daunting challenge, especially as a traditional man with American, Caribbean, and Christian influences.

The future holds infinite possibilities-my daughter could grow up to marry a man who becomes the son I always wished for, seamlessly integrating into our family and enriching our lives. Alternatively, she might choose someone who causes me concern, someone I worry might be an inadequate father to my future grandchildren. The stress of not knowing can be overwhelming.

Faced with this uncertainty, I choose to engage my daughter in open, honest conversations about relationships and dating. My goal is not to dictate choices but to equip her with the knowledge and perspective to make informed decisions. I aim to offer unique insights from my viewpoint as a man and father, guiding her in self-discovery and helping her identify qualities she truly values in a partner.
