Honestly the tone is kinda condescending but if this is the start of your dating life, OP would never think about this again.
I am kinda jealous OP. I am not saying this way of communication deserves an award but you are 22. In the end my dating life turned out OK but personally I wished I started sooner. Just give it a go. You will learn so much.
But that is not the point. Meeting people is fun, dating even more so. Like, the best. Don’t forget to have fun!
Bro your dad is the best! The communication sounds like a dick move, but in between the letters I find nothing but love from your dad. Look, things were different when he was your age.
I mean, let’s be honest, there is a very very small chance you’ll find the love of your life with this date. But as others said, this could be a kick start to a much more fun life. Just enjoy it! Who knows what doors this experience will open for you!
