My daughters first boyfriend

[MattNH]

I had one sniffing around, he was rude about my wife in a text message to the girl. I didn't say a word. Daughter and Mother talked it out and he was sent away. She's too busy with honors classes, volleyball, basketball and shooting. I tell her don't grow up to be a helpless woman and that boys will always be there.

Whenever one of my girls' suitors seemed to be getting serious, I'd invite him for a ride and make sure he got the orneriest horse, or if the situation was dire I'd invite him to a family gathering and have him help kill and butcher a lamb.
I always taught the girls that, as a former boy myself, there was really only one thing their suitors were interested in. One is now 20 and the other 24 and neither has a boyfriend. Gosh, hope I didn't do any permanent damage.

I believe it was Paul Harvey that once said:

A father is a person who gives his daughter away to a man who is not near good enough for her so they can have grandkids smarter than anybody's.

Shovel? Backhoe?

You guys are amatures.

A buddy of mine has three beautiful and intelligent daughters. And a lot full of pigs. "Now son...have you ever heard the old joke about 'went to xxxx and the hogs ate him?' It ain't a joke. CSI couldn't find you after a few hours in there."
.

The pigs can't reliably digest the teeth, so the prep work with a pair of anglehead Channel Locks is messy and time consuming.

What...I just...know things.

Walnutred, #6 is my favorite

The reasons Dads get so nervous is that they recall just how they were at that age. Karma.

Here is a form that I used when my girls were dating:

 

[LedFowl]

I have a friend who became quite attached to his daughter's boyfriend. They had a lot of common interests. When she broke up with him, it was pretty traumatic for the old man.

 

[Snapping Twig]

I taught all her serious boyfriends to cast, then to reload and ultimately we went to the range.

I also talked enthusiastically about my students and what I had been able to teach them at the Dojo.

All showed respect. For fear or for genuine goodness, I did not care - results were all that mattered.

 

[Rastoff]

I'm glad I don't have any daughters. I'm sure I'd end up in jail.

My son knows that if he ever mistreated a woman he'd have to answer to me. Her father need not be worried.

You teach your children all the right virtues and then just pray they stay on that path.

My daughters have had some nice boyfriends in addition to a couple of mistakes. One was a crew member in a B-24, I was going to fly to Ohio with the group on the plane for an air show. I also can stuff. Dill pickles among other veggies seem to come out right. He loved pickles, I gave him a couple of quarts to take on one flight. The crew demolished them. So I'm going to an air show, I was asked to bring lots of pickles. No problem, the cukes grew like crazy the previous year, I had cases of them.

I'm pretty pumped. Then she broke it off with him. I was in a dither. I took a quart of Polish Dills out side and munched on them watching contrails flying high overhead.

When I started to date the girl who is now my wife and first met her dad, man was that nerve-wracking. Her dad's 6'3, biceps as big as melons, owns a motorcycle shop, always, and I mean always has a 44 mag holstered to his side, and he has an entire garage full of guns. My first visit we spent nearly two hours in his garage, him showing me all kinds of different guns before I was even invited to step foot in the house and see his daughter. To this day I don't know anyone else who owns as many guns as that man.

My advice to any guy who is dating ... make sure the conversations are about guns, church, Jesus, and what you've reading in your Bible. I think that's all we talked about for months before he finally started acknowledging that I wasn't just there to see his collection and actually wanted to spend time with his daughter.

I think if I ever have a baby girl I'd probably be the same way. Maybe worse.

My steadiest high school girlfriend's father always answered the door with a broken over under that he was always being cleaned when guys showed up for a first date. There were a lot of rules, how many times in a week that you could call, how the long a call could last - 10 minutes for a boy - 8 minutes for a girlfriend. Strict curfew. Turns out her older sister had a baby in high school. She became a nurse and married a doctor that I went to high school with. Nice Couple.

My wife's uncle writes his daughter's boyfriends' names on a shotgun shell, he then tells them they can have it back at the wedding, or if they don't break his little girl's heart haha

If you fellas are counting on the tired old "cleaning my gun" gag to keep your girls on the straight and narrow you are about 14 years too late.

My baby is almost 31. I told ever boy that came around the same thing. "She is my baby. You WILL NOT hurt my baby. If you make her cry, I'll make you bleed. If you lay a hand on her I'll kill you. I know where a hog pen full of hogs are. I'll pull your teeth & feed you to them. Don't believe me, try me."

If anyone hurts her now they had better hope the cops got them before I do. Anyone think I'm kidding, mess with my baby.

I have been blessed with 2 beautiful daughters. I am kind of on the large side and not fat. Im in the gym 5 days a week lifting. 6' 4" 260 lbs and wear a size 54 sport coat.

Im not known for beating around the bush. So far each of the boys she has brought home and been told the same thing. My rules for dating my daughters.
1- You had better keep it in your pants.
2- Anything you do to her, I WILL do to you.
3- You WILL treat all the ladies in my house with the upmost respect.
4- Piss me off, physicaly hurt my daughter and I will hurt you bad!
5- You car/truck will be checked with a drug sniffing K9 dog.

So far this approach seems to weed out the bad seeds. You should see the look on there face when my buddy stops by in his PD car with the dog in the back to check there car. I must say, the look on there face is priceless. My wife says I am awful for doing that but I always tell her "my house, my rules". It dosent take long for the word to get around school what the boy is going to have to go through.

My experience is a lot different than what many are posting. While I didn't date a whole lot (arrested development), every father was friendly towards me and never anywhere near hostile or threatening. When I was a senior I took my first real girlfriend to the prom. My parents had a '53 Chevy I took over to her house to pick her up. Her father had a big '58 Chrysler. He had his son take me for a check ride while girl friend waited. Her father then handed me the keys and off we went in the Chrysler. I was on the top of the world. Three months later she dumped me .
