What did your father teach you about love, dating, and relationships?

Were those lessons taught by positive example (how to do it right) or by negative example (what NOT to do?)

Looking forward to an enlightening discussion!

Get a haircut, get a job, get a wife, make kids. That was pretty much it from my dad. He wasn't one to give advice; it wasn't manly. He told you what to do.

1.Never be to proud to say you're sorry, even when you think the other person is wrong (but let's not get into the discussion of 'hey, if you don't know what's wrong, I ain't accepting your apology' )

2.Always forgive and forgive some more, but my dad is just a notch short of a saint..one of the most patient person ever.

3.Always compliments your wife's cooking (lol pardon me Lori he doesn't know you ).

4. If you treat women with kindness she will reciprocate. Be a gentleman and she'll treat you very well (disclaimer: My dad does NOT belong to ehA message board so he might be a bit in the dark about this )

I think that's a good start

My Father taught me by example. Very few lectures or chats.

Here's what I learned:

Love is a VERB. It isn't a feeling. You love someone by keeping her car safe, washing the dishes, telling her that dinner was "so delicious", vacuuming the living room, cooking breakfast and rubbing her feet when they hurt.

Just because you disagree with her doesn't mean that you have to drive the point home. Tread easy.

Give her a kiss when you arrive and leave.

When she asks you to do something, do it. But do it in your own time.

Make your point like an adult. Don't yell like a child.

Finally, here IS something he said to me, "The stuff that is important to you when you're younger...cars, clothes, trips...don't mean anything when you get to be my age. The ONLY thing that matters are the people in your life. Are they healthy and happy?"

BTW I wasn't always hip to the lessons he was giving me.As they say, my dad's a funny guy. The older I get, the smarter he gets.

Isn't afraid to tell you what he thinks of you.
