My dad is a very intimidating guy. He is also very mean a lot of the time, and I'm kind of afraid of him. I really want to ask him if I can order something online, but I'm afraid he'll get mad and say no. He's going to be home in a little bit and I want to ask him then, but I'm still kind of scared. I don't want to get rejected! What should I do!!?!??! And please don't reply saying ''just ask him'', because that is easier said than done for me.

You're not alone dude..
hence my sn\ You're going to have to ask him anyway regardless of what responses you get here, just don't be a polite little pansy (unless he wants you to ask like that) just pretend you're who he wants you to be for the breif minute it will take to ask him.

Play it safe and just go to bed, man. Ask at a better time.

suck it up. the worst he can do is say no.

Confront him and if he says no ask your mom.

I've been wanting to ask him for weeks now

What's so bad about him saying no? It's not like he'll throw things at you or something...or will he?

People imagine parents to be nice and caring. And that we just sit down and talk about our problems, like the Brady Bunch. It's really annoying.

I know...no need to shout with caps. It's just, I can understand fear of rejection in the asking someone out sense; but fear of being rejected from ordering something online? Can you do it without him knowing it? Get a friend to do it for you and pay them for it?

Pardon me, but she hadn't inferred that her father was abusive, so I said "it's not like he'll throw something at her" to show it wouldn't be so bad.

I AM AFRAID OF REJECTION, NO MATTER WHAT I AM ASKING FOR, THERE IS A POSSIBILITY THAT I WILL GET REJECTED. And come the hell on, obviously I don't want something delivered to my house without my parents knowing. Think outside the box.

Ok, are you really that fucking retarded? It's pretty much common sense that I WANT TO ASK MY DAD AND NOT SECRETLY ORDER SOMETHING ONLINE. No I'm not going to ask a fucking friend to do something stupid like that.

You seem to be able to voice yourself pretty well, or is it just that your anger can only come out through the Internet, and at home you're repressed from fear of your father? If you're able to scream and bitch at me, you should be able to do it back to your father!

Why is it stupid? If they do it for you, then you'll be getting what you want, AND you won't have to ask your father. Really, it's a good solution.

Your a bunch of typed up words, my dad is a real life 6 foot 200 pound man. I want to ask something from my dad, not yell at him. And that goes back to me saying I am afraid of rejection. Your overall argument fails.

if your fear of rejection is that out of control, i think i'd worry more about finding a therapist personally... and i don't see the problem with asking a friend to get it for you.

It wasn't an argument, really. I was just stating that if you're able to voice yourself so easily on here, it's a start to not being intimidated by your father. A small start, but still. Wouldn't it be better if you weren't cowering in front of him constantly? And you want to ask him, okay, then it's a matter of whether you're too scared to ask or whether you'll eventually just do it whenever you feel the time is right.

THIS IS THE INTERNET, THIS IS NOT REAL LIFE. I've known my father for 16 years, I've known you for 16 minutes. That is a HUGE DIFFERENCE.

Very true. Please calm down, it is, after all, just the Internet. :) What I said was "it's a small start". Really, it is! If you're able to voice yourself on here, you can work your way up! Unless you think it's impossible, which would mean you're defeated already.
