How can i ask my dad to let me go fishing?

Question

MY dad fished for about 35 years, but since my parents split up it makes him sad and he doesnt care for it.

I wouldnt mind it though because its ment to be relaxing and i liked it when my dad took me exept he was always over-controllive,

I would like to start going but i dont know how to ask him in a polite way to do something he doesnt like :(

Answer 1

I think a direct approach is best. Just ask him, let him know you want to spend some time with him fishing.

Answer 2

tell your dad that you enjoyed the calmness of fishing and the time that it gave you together and ask him to take you again see if he wants to go and if he doesn't maybe you could find a friend that might take you or have your dad bring one of his friends that u like so he has two people to keep him company

Answer 3

hey dad, I know fishing makes you upset but maybe you could just try it again. I really enjoy it and it;s super relaxing. Why don't you try it once more and see if you enjoy it.

I really do, so could we maybe do it as a father sin bonding moment.
