No problem.

Yes I know what love is like and am happily married with 2 kids. I'm glad to see you value marriage and realize the responsibilities that come hand in hand with it. When I was a teenager I faced a lot of similar choices. I also was forced to mature quicker than I wished. One of the things I'm grateful for is not making rash choices as a teenager that would have limited my freedom later when I had a little more experience with which to view my situation in the world.

Good Luck, sounds like you have a good head on your shoulders. You may not always agree with your dad, but even after your 18 and don't legally have to listen anymore, you may realize that his advice comes from his own experiences, of which he has a lot more to draw from.
