Recently, I came across some online discussions about the underlying messages in romantic relationships, which reminded me of my own experiences when I was younger. I couldn't help but want to share these with everyone, especially those young girls in love. Have you ever experienced your father suddenly starting to "care" about your romantic life? That feeling is akin to attending an unprepared interview, where you're so nervous that your palms sweat.
I remember one time when I was texting my boyfriend, and my father suddenly walked over and casually asked, "How's your studying going lately?" My heart immediately tightened, and I thought, "Oh no, has he found out something?" But then, he just smiled and said, "Don't be nervous, I was just asking." Later, I realized that my father was actually caring for me in his own way, he just wasn't good at expressing it directly.
In fact, the underlying messages from fathers are often much more complex than we imagine. For example, when he asks, "How's your studying going lately?" he might be hinting, "Are you in a relationship? Don't let it affect your studies." Or, "Is that boy reliable? Don't get deceived." These seemingly ordinary conversations actually hide deep concerns and love from our fathers.
A netizen shared their experience in the comments: "Every time my dad asks me, 'Have you met any new friends lately?' I know he's probing to see if I'm in a relationship. Later, I just told him directly, and he actually breathed a sigh of relief, saying, 'You should have told me earlier, I thought you were hiding it from me.'" This straightforward way of communication is actually a good option.
Another netizen said, "My dad never asks me directly, but he suddenly starts telling stories about his youthful romances and then asks me, 'What do you think?' I know he's hinting at me." This indirect way of communication, although a bit roundabout, is quite interesting.
Actually, the underlying messages from fathers are not scary; they just want us to be happy but don't want to interfere too much in our lives. So, when you notice your father starting to "care" about your romantic life, try talking to him, tell him your thoughts and feelings. Perhaps, you'll find that communication between you isn't as difficult as you thought.
Lastly, I want to say that underlying messages in romantic relationships are not just the domain of fathers; girls have their own "codes" too. For example, when she says, "I'm fine," she might be hinting, "Come and comfort me"; when she says, "Whatever," she might be testing your decision-making skills. So, boys also need to learn to read the underlying messages from girls!
In conclusion, whether it's with fathers or lovers, communication is the most important. I hope everyone can find their own happiness in love and build closer relationships with their fathers. After all, the support and understanding from family are our strongest backing.
