DraconisV,

Firsty, Please try and ignore the hurtfull comments in the previous posts. Its obvious the poster was in a similar situation to your Girlfriends Dad – and someone like you came along who was young and enthusiastic and made him feel like an idiot.

Don’t take it personally, chin up bro!

My 2 cents – on the original topic

I would have to agree with previous posters. If I were in your situation (which I was a year or so ago, when I had a gf) don’t say anything. Talk to your girlfriend.

If you feel the oppurtunity is badly wasted and you MUST say something, I would suggest asking him to read a book, and give you advice/opinion on it.
I have used this technique with my father. He had a unit for sale, sitting doing nothing, but wouldn’t listen to any advice from anyone. I gave him Steve’s book and 2 months later he has managed to furnish it and rent it on a short term lease while its for sale. Suggestively giving people ideas, and letting them take credit for it works wonders with the baby boomers.

Good Luck

Dave
