My father is a stereotypical old fashioned man in his 60's. He believes that things should be how they were when he was growing up, and is very close minded.

He is a very quiet man and barely speaks....while i was growing up I would bring friends over and he would never talk to them....my own conversations with him are limited...I have never once called my dad just to talk.

Throughout my life there have been very few times I have spent time with my father alone...there was never lots of bonding time. He has always been there for me when I need him and I know he loves me....but he was never open about it.

Tomorrow night my dad and I are going to a Lady Gaga concert together. The fact he is even going is hilarious. ...for some reason he likes her music, and I have always teased him if she ever came to our area we would go to the concert....sure enough, he found out she was coming here and bought us two tickets.

We are leaving in the afternoon, going to dinner, then the concert and spending the night in a hotel.

I am so nervous and scared to spend the day with my dad...how weird is that?

Have a great time! I hear her concerts are an experience and I'm sure you'll have lots to talk about with your dad afterwards.

I think it will be a great stepping stonw for the two of you. Hopefully it will lead to a closer relationship

..enjoy the experience..

I can relate to the way you described your relationship with your dad.. I had a similar type with mine.

..now i'm the old guy! I am very close and chatty with both adult children..

..as for GaGa.. I'd love to see her "LIVE"..

..been to a couple of Madonna concerts.. fabulous!!

..hope your big night is all that you can imagine.

With that thread title, I had to open it. In a million years I would never have guessed it's exactly what's advertised -- Dad and Lady Gaga.

Enjoy the show!

How fun! Enjoy yourself with your daddy! He may becoming out of his shell. Don't be scared, just open up and have lots of fun.

My dad couldn't/didn't tell me he loved me until I was 25 years old.
Have a wonderful time, and embrace this opportunity you are both getting to open a door.

What a hoot!!

This is awesome Alyssa!!! My dad only ever wants to take me golfing...

I can't imagine him at a Lady Gaga concert!

I hope you two have a wonderful time.
