The question

I am beginning to like a girl, my age, 20 years old. My confessor father tells me to wait for a good time. When is a good time, and how will I know?

The answer

When you say you have feelings towards this girl, I assume you are thinking of a life commitment, not a temporary relationship. Ask yourself are you ready to commit yourself today for a life long relationship. What can you offer this girl today beside your admiration?

A good time is the time when you have finished your education and you are emotionally and financially stable and capable of making a commitment for life.
