I thought the father liked me, but I guess I was wrong...
Short story: Girl chased me, yadda yadda, and gave me her number after some chance encounters at college (she's a student, I'm staff *NOT FACULTY*). We have gone out twice, and I haven't even tried to kiss her yet (frankly, I think my playing the slow-paced gentleman drives her nuts  ). I can tell you though that when she runs her hand though my hair, I turn into a puddle of gooo... Suddenly, I am no longer allowed to go out with her. "I don't care if y'all are friends, but etc etc." She wants to continue, I want to continue. But I also want to not be the "bad guy." I really want to respect his wishes, or gain his respect, but dammit, its her life. |

Pussy.
Don't let some schmo dictate your life. The only time you have to worry about the guy is when he is your Father In Law. And then you get to take his advice with a grain of salt.

I've been in that situation a couple times. Neither lasted long, they were both "daddy's girl's" and they couldn't stand up to their dad.

I have dated a girl for the last few years whose parents used to hate me!!!
 It is funny though that they now love me. I wonder if the law degree has anything to do with it?  Looks like we are going to get married.

When I was first starting out in college I was working my way thru as a production welder.
I was dating this real babe with brains to match. All was cool with the parents, they loved me... But Grandpa was an old school GP doctor, long since retired. The grandparents got it in there mind that I was not good enough for there only grandchild and came up with a plan to "FIX" the problem. They held a family meeting where they made an offer - send her to a college acceptable to the grandparents and they would cover full tuition/living expenses plus an extra allowence. Well the offer was golden to the parents - and they applied there pressure for her to accept the deal. She caved and grabbed it. Later on the Gparents admitted she could have choosen any school that was more than 800 miles away from me. She did part of her education at UC Berkeley - and some other NorCal U's We had a great time after she graduated - but it soon became apparent that we were not going to make it long term. After Berkeley - Well lets just say that she was now damaged goods. We are still good friends, but she is not the girl I feel in love with, and I am not the same man I was either. ( I have since grown a much stronger spine, and I won't take BS games... ) |

Then you will understand the situation I am in...
Thats what happened in my case. They like that I open doors. They like that I pay her way and mine. They like that I take her to decent places and that I keep my hands to myself, etc etc. But because I am the same age as someone that got her into some really heinous shit about 5 years ago, they have a problem: I am too old for her, and that the law prevents me from dating her. I know that most here will have a problem with this, but I don't. I am 22, she is 17 (Age of consent is 16 here, its legal). Graduated high school 2 years early after getting off drugs (still goes to NA meetings). She is now pursuing a degree in Pre-Vet. She met my criteria: cute, intelligent, likes me for me, and has at least (in this case more) personality than my dog (not an easy task...). She is conservative, and has lots of guns (albeit in another state at her uncle's house). Well, there you have it. I expect some heat for this, but please take in consideration that she pursued me, and having never really found a girl with this much interest in me, I am like a puppy that hasn't seen a human before (and loves belly rubs...).All in all, she is rather strong willed and persuasive with her step-father (long story) whom she currently lives with, and I am pretty much leaving it to her to rectify this... |

No, all the girls whose parents I met really liked me. In one case, this was a bad thing since the girl was this bohemian, gothy pagan type and her parents were affluent professional super-Christians (not unlike most of my family). She had rebelled against them for most for her post-pubescent life. Her dad helped design the SR-71 and worked at Area 51, so of course he was real interesting talk with and he liked me....all this horrified Adrienne. I got along with her parents better than I got along with her.
My parents HATED the girl I loved the most though. |

Yup.Her parents didn't like me at all.I used to be,err,let's just say,a tad rough!And a bit older than her.
Once her father realized how much it pissed his wife off that we were together,he got on our side,and gave us the green light. It's been a great 20 years since then! |

OH yes.........
I have had numorous "We dont like you" from parents, esp whne I was in high school.... There was one girl whos parents despised me so much, that even AFTER thier daughter and I were not dateing, they would still tell me off if they saw me in town, of course I would return in kind, that would allways get the dad fuming mad.....Sadly they both died in a car accident over a holiday weekend. Felt bad for the daughter, I know that really hurt her. The thing is, I never could find out WHAT it was her parents did not like about me, they just hated me. |

Once when 18 or 19 the father of the girl wanted to stab me with his pocket knife. He pulled it out as he was standing up. I was in top shape and told him I'd take it awy from him and carve him a new one, I wan't afraid of anything in those days, being invinceable and all. His wife & my GF jumped in between us and I left with my gf. He was an alcoholic and we never did get along for some reason.

One mom took a while to like me because, I guess, I wasn't foo-foo enough for her tastes.
One dad didn't like me at all because I was a "distraction" to his son. I haven't met the current bf's family yet (they live 7 hours away from us), but I got their approval so far. His dad likes the fact that I'm a federal employee, his sister likes that I'm not a helpless whining high-maintenance chick, and I'm not so sure about what the mom exactly thinks -- but she knows I support the Second Amendment and maybe that scares her. |

If I let that stop me I wouldn't have my wonderful wife and two beautiful kids. My mother in-law hated me because I'm a gun loving conservative. She's a liberal teacher and hates everything that is right of center.
My wife is conservative and my boys will be. Go with what you think is right. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't, but it's YOUR life and you need to live it. ETA: Good luck with the relationship.

YEP,
My last serious girlfriends parents hated me. Surprisingly though I was the one paying her way, but I was trying to teach her self-reliance, and why she shouldn't rely on her parents or me for everything. Her parents despised the fact that I wanted her to have personal responsibility, and that I was not liberal. We had very very different beliefs in the end her parents one, because I said to hell with it, and finally yelled next. |

"don't worry about it sir-stuff like that happens-water under the bridge" he was so drunk he didn't even know what really happened or at what time. we were together for more than a year after that-he never knew. yeah chicken shit thing to do-but i was a high school boy and there was some tang to be gotten there. oh well.....

Almost all my girlfriends/ wifes parents have loved me.
One of my last gf's mom was a little disapproving. In fairness to her she is only a couple of years older than me, and her daughter is 17 years younger than me. I would have probably been pissed too. I'm 41 she was 24. |

Hmm......touchy subject.....
Last serious g/f's parents were alky's and didnt like the fact that I was a full-time student in the Guard and didnt have a "steady job". We ended up breaking up over an incident at their house one night where the dad got in my face and called me a "lazy bum", a "smartass" and then a "lazy bum" again at the top of his lungs while his chest was touching my shoulder. Then, said girl started dating new guy while we were talking about getting back together....so I was trying to get back in touch with her.... He calls me one night and says to "stay away from her, that she no longer wants anything to do with me and that if I didnt get his drift, I would soon."  Apparently he's underestimated pure genius. Then, new serious g/f's parents dont really like me cuz I basically broke g/f and her b/f of 5 years up.....her 3 brothers *especially* dont like me. I dont really care. I gave up trying to please people and caring what they thought when Spawn of Satan and her father pulled that shit. I nadda care, no mo'.

I was working UC at the time I met my wife (at first even she did not know I was the Police), I had long hair, tattoos, smoked, drank and carried weapons. Her parents flipped out, she was a nice Catholic girl and college student seeking to be a school teacher. They like me now but at first no way in hell.
6 year and 2 kids later.......................... I am clean cut, still in criminal justice but not a patrol officer anymore. Went back into the Guard, after taking several years away from military service. The best part is, after freezing my ass off up north (WI/IL) I moved my family back to Texas. |

MY old man didn't approve of MY wife to be 30 yrs ago. He couldn't cope with her ability to make more money than me [ graduating Suma will do that ].
He also didn't approve of me taking a bud's wife places [ like the grocery store or fast food or other innocuous places, errands ] when the bud was working the occasional side job . My buddy and his wife thought it was hilarious. My old man was an old school jackass. rj |

Yep. Her folks were big time holy rollers. Dad hated me, but Mom was nice. Dad hated me because I didn't go to his church, and Mom liked me because I was good to their daughter and had a future. After the first year or so things smoothed out considerably. Eventually after I broke up with her, I understand she completely reverted and found and married somebody her parents liked within a year.

Her step-father hated me..(different race)..There were huge arguments with my wife and MIL even though I was better educated and more successful than any of his blood kids...When he found out I was as big a gun nut as he was we eventually put our differences aside..Going shooting with him the first time was a little scary but thankfully we brought witnesses along..Its 10 years later..we aren't the best of buds but we talk a little..He loves the grandkids so he knows he'd better behave.

I've never been hated, but I *have* made parents/step-parents afraid of me. One had a father who was a hunter who, I think, was going to "impress" me with his gun prowess. Once he saw *me* shoot (and there are probably several HUNDRED people on AR15.com that are better than me), let's just say that he was VERY respectful.
Another girl's parents were getting divorced, and her mom started dating some guy who was an alcoholic and possibly an abuser. The girl was afraid that her mom would get hurt, and for whatever reason, the alcoholic guy wasn't afriad of her real dad (6'2" electrician with plenty of *real* tough-guy friends). The guy raised his voice and made a slight move as if he was thinking about slapping my GF's mom. I just calmly walked over to him and said in a very quiet voice that he would regret making such a big mistake, and that I expected him to be respectful. The man never looked me in the eyes again, and per GF's mom, I scared the bejeezus out of him. Ultimately, there was just WAY too much drama in that family, and the best thing I ever did was break up with her. I haven't met many parents in the last 10 years, though. Either I'm not around that long or they are on their own, or both. -Troy |
