p^ is an unit vector which represents the direction of an electric dipole from negative charge to the positive charge. Why only in the direction from negative charge to the positive charge? What is the actual direction of p^ or the electric dipole? please explain in deep...

Q. Why do electrons flow from negative to positive and electric charge flows from positive to negative ??????????

Electric field is always directed from positive to negative. While dipole moment is always directed from negative to positive. So, it seems that dipole moment and electric field should always be in opposite directions. But in questions we come across that dipole moment is inclined at some angle to the direction of electric field. Why?
