Anyone Else? Father/Daughter Dance Feels

Have you spoken to him about it? You don't have to do a slow dance or a dance at all...my brother and mom did an upbeat, kind of goofy dance together because that is their relationship.

I have a similar situation with my dad. I planned on bringing this up with him as well!

We haven't spoken about it at all. I feel badly telling him that I feel weird about slow dancing with him. I think it will hurt him. He's in his 60s now and has changed a lot. I get the vibe from him that he does want to be more affectionate now, but he doesn't push it because he knows it is not the type of relationship we have. What was the song that your brother and mother danced to if you don't mind sharing? Just curious, since I haven't really thought about doing a more upbeat song. I definitely want it to be meaningful since we're so close, so maybe a meaningful upbeat song would work for us.

If you want to do a daddy/daughter dance, pick something you both like that suits your relationship. It definitely does not have to be a slow dance!

If people know you are a particular fan of a specific team, you could even dance to that team's fight song. If my mom and I were in your situation, we'd probably do a dance to the Super Bowl Shuffle!

Future Mrs.Hill are you worried that he'll get upset that you feel this way? I don't want to bring it up to him and make him feel bad. The "I love you" that I get 3x a year is a hugeee step up from what we used to be like. He started kissing me on the forehead before I leave for a vacations now. That is a big step up for us believe it or not lol. He used to literally NEVER say I love you or give me a hug or a kiss. So although we are still not affectionate, I can tell he is trying to change that a bit. So I'm afraid to mention feeling weird and hurting him.

Kimbo that would be so much fun! I think we both want a sentimental song though. We both definitely realize that our relationship has changed a lot and since I can tell that he's becoming more loving over the years I don't want to shoot that down in him, if that makes any sense.

I have the same type of relationship with my father. We're not dancing to a slow song. We're dancing to Cameo - Word Up. We used to love that song when I was a kid (yes I'm old lol). Fast song awesome. Slow song= weirdness for us

@Futuremrswhite Lol yes slow song = weirdness for us too! I just don't want to miss out on that slow dance moment with my father where we'll be given the chance to have that sentimental moment. Maybe we can find a happy medium. I'm going to ask my dad about song choices today, maybe he'll have a song he's been thinking of that will give me an idea of what he's comfortable with.

My dad and I are the same way. He is a man of few words. We are doing our father/daughter dance at the same time that my FH and his mom are doing their dance, to the same song. It is only a few minutes we'll have to dance and FMIL thought it was a great idea because she didn't want all of the attention on her anyway so it worked out well for me!

Candi I love that idea! My FH's mother feels really weird about dancing in front of people so maybe that will work out for all of us! Thank you so much!
