can my dad stop me..?

im 16. i have a "friend" ((not dating yet. but we have been talking for at least 6 months)) thats in the army. hes 18. i told my dad about him. and i told him that he was coming in for christmas. and i wanted to hang out with him. he told me he didnt think it was a good idea..cause he prolly only wants one thing. but my dad has never met him before. well wen he came home i asked my dad if i could go hang out with him one day and he told me no. prolly cause my dad didnt know him..but my dad has let me go with this one guy that was my age before..so i called my mom and asked her how could i change my dads mind and she told me to just come over to her house and she would let me go hang out with himi for the day.((i havent talked to my mom in about 6 months. and i just started talkin to her new years night..and i was gonna go see her the next day.i figured it was a new year so put everything behind me and not worry about and move on..)) and now i feel like my mom thinks i only went over there to go see him. and i told her thats not why i went over there. but i still feel like she thinks that..and can my dad stop me from talking to the guy in the army??((i dont think he will say to much because i ithink he is afraid that i will move in with my mom)) but still he dont come home from the army till 2011..and my dad said thats when i can talk to him and go and hang out with him.. cause im goin to be 18 so i can do what i want then..but can he stop me now??

1. i dont know
2. Yes he can only because your a minor. He isn't controlling your life or anything, he's just worried that this "guy" wants only sex. I'm not saying he does but thats what I would think aswell if I had a daughter. He doesn't want you to get knocked up and everything. Just trust your parents on it...
3. Whydon't you try bringing your "friend" over to your Dad's house to meet your Dad. Then, your Dad can see that he's alright.
4. Yes legally he can. As a parent and elder he knows the consequences of hanging around with an army guy. This love will be over once you are out of touch with him for few months, so think about it. Secondly your father is right in asking you to wait till you get 18 and think over it again. Will this guy be still interested in your after 2011? wait and watch
5. answer from my dad: take your dads advice, he was an 18 year old boy once (not to long ago), and he knows how they think.... and becides your dad is only looking out for your best interest.
6. First of all you DID use your mother to see this guy. So stop lying to yourself. Had she not been in the picture you would have not bothered. Your dad said NO and you are still doing it anyway, so what you are really wanting to know is how can yo convince your father to allow you to date this guy. I have the answer. Act a little more maturely and responsible. Honor those wishes of your father for CO-CK can always be replaced but Dads are once and a lifetime. Why disappoint the one man who will no matter what, always be there.
7. You can probably get this guy in major trouble since he's military personnel, and if I was your dad I'd do just that. And you did use your mother.
8. Your dad has control over you til the day you turn 18. Please just trust your dad and listen to him cuz he's been there and done that.
9. Wow!! Dang that sucks!
