Listen To The Man: 10 Love Lessons From My Dad
You shouldn’t have to prove your worth to anyone
Not too long ago, my aunt felt inspired to call a boy that I was interested in to tell him that if he didn’t want to miss out, he should make a move. I’m sure this seems weird and out of pocket to some of you; but I have a very “hands on” type of family. Anyway, when my dad learned of this conversation, he was heated. Not so much that my aunt had involved herself in my relationship, but that she tried to argue a case for me. My dad let me know then, as he had several times before, if a man can’t see your worth, as hard as it may be to accept, that’s more a reflection of him and not you. Instead of trying to convince him to see the light, let him experience the darkness and see if he gets it together. Perhaps I extended the metaphor too far but hopefully you know what I mean.
