Fatherly and brotherly advice

Today I had a talk with both my brother, Laertes, and my father, Polonius. Laertes knows that I am very in love with Hamlet and provided me with the advice that Hamlet is very busy as prince of Denmark and probably has little time for relationships. I know that Hamlet loves me, but I do understand that he cannot marry just anyone because of his royal status. I respect my brother for his thoughtful advice but i plan to further pursue Hamlet. Later, my father came to give me advice on Hamlet, as well. His advice was not quite as sugar-coated as my dear brother's. Father told me that my love for Hamlet was not real and that I should completely stay away from my true love. I know Hamlet has love for me as I do for him, but father refuses to believe this. I know that being a fatherly figure and keeping me out of sexual situations is my father's main goal, even if it means disregarding my true feelings.
