He won't let you propose?
Listen, I know I said that you shouldn't rush into things just because you feel it's the right time, but the same applies the other way round - just because it's not necessarily the right time, it doesn't mean that you shouldn't if it's what the both of you truly want. And quite honestly, it's not up to your dad whether you get engaged - it's up to you. I got engaged when I was really young and a lot of people tried to talk me out of it and told me that it was too soon, but I knew I had something good going and told them all where to go! It's your life - you only live it once so you may as well live it with the person you love

And to be honest, your dad's probably making a fuss because he's worried about you and whether it's the right thing for you. As soon as he sees how happy you are (assuming of course that getting married would make you happy!) then he'll soon be won over
