How do i get close to my dad?


Question: My dad is one of those strong and silent types.He does show me a lot of affection, ie , hugging and kissing, but what i do miss is the talking. A lot of my frenz keep talking on and on abt how they and their dad are best frenz , and i am too intimidated by my dad.
How do i break through this barrier?
I feel like theres something missing in my life and at times i get the feeling he wishes we were closer too, but i dont know wat to do!
Answers: just break the ice , it you know something hes intreasted in start a conversation about it , like if you know he likes sports start a conversation about baseball ball I know it sounds corny but you have to start somewher , take it from me im 16 and my daddy died last Nov.3 so use the time you have with your dad wisely.
it seems that your father loves u alot more over fathers have more affection towards there daughter and boys towards there mom. it does not meen that when you speek your father dont answer you. i think you never tried.
silent people do wants to talk to you but they prefer intelegent talk. so while watching t.v or choose his interesting topic and have a disscussion by asking his view if he give s you close enede answer then keep on throwing questions on him. he will answer you.
by this you increase your conversation and start sharing your thing as a friend.
Dad,s are best friend of daughters, may be he is reserve but you are her sweet daughter I am sure he loves you a lot so try to break the ice.The best way is to take your small problems to him and asked for solutions, In this way he will know you in a better way........I hope it works
Go fishing together! Quiet but not silent.
TALK TO HIM OPENLY!
-----------------------------------
Go to him, tell him your problem, make him hear you! that'll be the sollution.

Dear, every problemm has its own sollutions, only thing is that we humans should find out the correct one, if we can do that we can even find out medicine for HIV/AIDS. Ok?

So go to him, TALK, Discuss, Get the Sollution!

If u like i'lll give a formula for this problem.

Sollution = Go to him + Talk to him + Make him Understand

Thats it!
Wish you a good luck!
Maybe it has something to do with him and how he was raised......my dad is not a very affectionate man...that's mostly because of my grandfather...... but I know my dad loves me.......by the things he does for me ......I don't need my dad to be my best friend I need and want him to be my dad....he is somewhat intimidating...but he would never hurt any of his kids.....and never has..... I think you would be surprises just how much your dad truly loves you.....just because he doesn't show it doesn't mean he doesn't .....when you guys are together in the car or in the house talk to him ....ask him questions .....it's probably harder for him to talk to you then it is for you to talk to him...
My dad was the same when I was growing up. I started asking him questions about hobbies he enjoyed, then I started participating in those hobbies with him. During those times, we would have little conversations and we are very close now. I am so glad I took the time to get to know my father and I am glad we had those conversations. Hunting wasn't my favorite thing to do but it did bring us closer.
You should do something both of you enjoy, for example a hobby! Just try and talk to him and tell him how you feel, it is your dad. Let him know how much you care about him, and he should get the picture. And if you want to hug him, then hug him!! :) Be open and honest, that's the important thing!!
