This guy that I am friends with has recently decided that he needed to walk away. He told me the reason was because of my dad, who told him to stay away from me. He told me that he needed time to cool off. What does that mean? Have I lost him forever?

This means that your friend has decided to create space between you and him because he's following your father's advice. You may wish to think about the reasons why your father thought that he may not be good friends with you. Many times, our parents' decisions about other people are usually correct. It's because of their experiences in life that allow them, in many cases, to be good judges of character. Perhaps, your father's decision to not allow your male friend to see you may be a good thing because your father is only looking out for your best interest. Whether you've "lost him forever" or not, can only be answered by him because only he can tell you how he feels about your friendship. Good luck and remember, that many times, our parents are not only good judges of character, but have our best interests at heart.

Sounds like you are kids. If he was an adult then what your dad thinks would not matter. I would say let him take a break if that's what he wants to do. People do what they think is right anyway, regardless of others advice. It doesn't matter what your dad said, he is just doing what he wants to do. If you have a hard time understanding it I would say ask your dad what he said, and then maybe you will know the whole story. Good luck to you all. (Or maybe your a minor and he is an adult, and your dad is just doing his job) see... lol not enough information to really answer.

Give him the space that he needs and see what happens?
