In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
Assalaamu `alaykum waRahmatullahi Wabarakatoh
The person may discuss the issue with your father. He does not have to be represented by his parents. If the person proposed marriage to you through your father, you could consider the proposal and take all the necessary steps before deciding on the issue.
And Allah knows best
