you don't have to lie to me I know you're datingĀ  someone and I just want to meet her that's all
17
164940
7020
02:54
we don't have to eat lunch maybe we can goĀ  for a cup of coffee or we can go to the mall
18
174360
7140
03:04
I am free on Saturday I won't work thatĀ  day why don't we go to the mall that day
19
184080
6960
03:13
do you like the idea we can have some ice creamĀ  and then go to the movies if you both want
20
193440
7020
03:23
that you're very funny I'm tellingĀ  you I don't have a girlfriend
21
203520
6120
03:32
seriously and that girl you were with lastĀ  time don't tell me she's only your friend
22
212940
6840
03:42
well yeah she's only my friend wellĀ  in fact she's my best friend Maritza
23
222420
7440
03:52
and we were going to her house to pickĀ  up some books to study for the final exam
24
232080
6420
04:01
oh I feel relieved I mean it's not that I don'tĀ  want you to have a girlfriend no of course notĀ Ā 
25
241740
7740
04:11
but I was worried that you wouldn't introduce herĀ  to me I thought you didn't trust me anymore son
26
251220
7500
04:21
of course I trust you you're myĀ  dad and I also my best friend
27
261840
6600
04:31
but you don't need to worry about that IĀ  am not interested in having a girlfriend
28
271080
6000
04:40
I mean I'm too young for that I don't want to haveĀ  distractions now you need to focus on my studiesĀ Ā 
29
280440
7680
04:49
so I won't waste my time with a girl noĀ  absolutely not that's not gonna happen
30
289980
7860
05:00
don't say that it's true you're still young butĀ  one day you will meet a girl who will drive youĀ Ā 
31
300120
7740
05:07
crazy really I've never thought about that I justĀ  want to study that I am not ready to have a loveĀ Ā 
32
307860
9060
05:16
relationship I know son but it can happen somedayĀ  I just need to tell you some things about that
33
316920
9120
05:28
first looks aren't everything yesĀ  Everyone likes a beautiful girl
34
328680
7560
05:38
but that can't be all what I mean is don't plainlyĀ  go by looks Remember All That Glitters Is Not GoldĀ Ā 
35
338520
12840
05:51
so when you are looking at the qualities thatĀ  a perfect life partner should have look at theĀ Ā 
36
351360
7200
05:58
overall picture the personality the compatibilityĀ  the similarities the similarities and ideologiesĀ Ā 
37
358560
7440
06:07
what's the point of a pretty girl being rudeĀ  to you for example so make a prudent choice
38
367380
7080
06:16
also respect is really important son all saidĀ  and done you can weigh your options all you wantĀ Ā 
39
376680
8100
06:26
but if a relationship lacks respectĀ  it's as good as a death trap believe meĀ Ā 
40
386220
7620
06:35
you will end up feeling suffocated respect forĀ  you your family your choices your ideologies
41
395760
7560
06:45
your priorities are all an important aspectĀ  in your relationship so mind yourself
42
405540
7380
06:55
also you have to ask yourself somethingĀ  how does this person treat their family
43
415380
7260
07:04
her mom and dad her brothers andĀ  sisters her grandparents her friends
44
424680
7320
07:14
it's simple if she does not treat them withĀ  kindness and respect she's not the right person
45
434400
7500
07:24
families the core of our relationships theseĀ  are the people you have known the longest
46
444000
7080
07:33
and should have the deepest connection toĀ  of course not all families get along and
47
453540
7380
07:42
unfortunately some people have reallyĀ Ā 
48
462840
3000
07:45
difficult family situations butĀ  a person you're looking to love
49
465840
4260
07:52
should not disrespect a family thatĀ  emotionally supports them remember that
50
472860
7140
08:02
another important thing are you thinkingĀ  you can change this person please don't
51
482580
7380
08:12
as I've heard once when someoneĀ  chose you who you are believe them
52
492180
6960
08:21
you cannot change a personĀ  the person you are datingĀ Ā 
53
501480
3240
08:24
should be right for you as theyĀ  are or they are not right for you
54
504720
4440
08:31
good you want the person you are dating to haveĀ  the idea of changing you into someone you are not
55
511560
7080
08:41
it will not end well seriouslyĀ  so be careful with that pleaseĀ Ā 
56
521520
7140
08:50
finally and as you had said before what's the rush
57
530460
5400
09:00
that they will come when you will meet thatĀ  beautiful and perfect girl for you so don't rush
58
540000
7140
09:09
take your time to make good friends and toĀ  know them very well first that's the idea
59
549660
7020
09:19
yes that I really appreciate your concern butĀ  I told you I'm not interested in that topic nowĀ Ā 
60
559380
7680
09:28
but I promise that when that day comes I willĀ  tell you you will be the first person to knowĀ Ā

588180
6900
09:57
