Putting this together with your plans to move to a distant city, my guess is your Dad is just doing some belated, tone-deaf pep talks, possibly so he can say he gave you those messages to anyone who thinks he's a delinquent father because you did some unapproved thing like marry outside the faith.

I would smile and nod and then just do whatever you think best for yourself. Because as a father I can tell you, fathers (and mothers, really) don't legitimately get, and should not legitimately expect, input into your adult love life.

As to your sexual proclivities, you'll sort those out. You may not be a 1 or a 5 on the Kinsey scale, but have at least mild bisexual tendencies. Nothing says it's a binary matter. Read up on it, and take it slow ... you have plenty of time to figure yourself out.
