So my girlfriend's dad hates me...
- Thread starter NMJB
- Start date
Honestly, I've thought of doing that. >.>
I still think there is a better way to handle it though.
Don't you understand girls? Her father's dislike for you is inversely proportional to her like for you. The only reason you should try to get a girl's father to like you is if you are tired of the girl and fall in love with the father.
i say talk to the guy, and be yourself. but dont say or do anything thats gonna make him Q? you. my girlfriends dad is a little creepy, i dont really like him to much but he likes me. kinda weird. but i think i gained his trust by talking to him....oh and i was at their house A LOT

i say: don't dwell on what he think of you.. maybe he doesn't like you.. but that doesn't matter.. because it's certain that he LOVES his daughter.. if you make her genuinly happy, then i'm sure the father will be happy too... if you continue to fear her father, then the relationship between you and her will become akward because you will always be afraid of what her father thinks about you.. my biggest advice is to not be scared of him.. don't view him as if he were some all-powerful god.. treat him as if he were your best freind's father: respect him, but don't be too stiff, be freindly
that's just what i'd do if i were in your position.. but what do i know O.o.. my boyf's dad doesn't even know we're dating

1st of all, ^ your either gay and your BF doesnt want to come out, or your BF's a ***** for not showing everyone he has a GF... or your ugly. lol. Sorry. Me = Cocky Prep. So yep. Tell him to get off his *** and tell his parents, then u can makeout in the basement or have sex ^_^
That doesnt matter.
My first gf (when i was 16) Her dad was a cop, and bigger than me.. and when we were goin up north (me and kari, that is) he sat down and was like "you guys arent going to have drugs, get drunk and get pregnant are you" hahaha.. it was funny. scared ****less for a good 3 secnds tho, then i made some smartass comment.
Just be confident, and dont care about her dad, care about her. Shes your gf, not him ^_^ unless u float that way. ;-) not here to judge

Ok me I am a daughter of a father just like that, a father who is extremely protective, thinks that no guy is acceptable for their "precious little girl" So here's some advice,
1. even if you do go over to your girl friends house to spend time with her, I recommend spending some time just talking to the father. (however don't be a kiss ***!!)
2. now if you do talk to the father, find something both of you like, try to avoid conflict. If he is watching tv, sit down ask what it's about and sit down to watch some.
3. if it is ever something where the father asks, "How do you intend to support my daughter...extext" well though depending on the father the best answer I can think of is, well for now I'm talking everything day by day, think of your career goals, make sure you brush up on them for now (This may not happen it just depends on your age) That is a good way to show, that your taking things slow but you do have an insight on your future so your prepared.
4. Sometime after you find out some of the things the father likes buy a gift for everyone, just not something too expensive (shows your kissing *** and too cheap, well you either don't have much income or your still just kissing ***)
5. Show affection to your girlfriend, offer to do things for her at the house, just not too much, like if you have dinner there, and she or the mother is collecting the dishes, offer to help out.
6. And remember, if it comes to a last resort, well so the father doesn't like you, I mean afterall your not dating him right.

It would be great if you said:
"Nah... don't worry I will not get pregnant, I will keep your daughter under control."

oh i forgot to add, the funny thing is that his parents already know me.. they're sort of fans of me, but they only know me as "that guy in your theatre class thats really good" XD they talk to me after shows to tell me i'm good, but they don't even think that we're freinds.. just fellow cast members.. XD
and it's not that he's afraid to come out.. his parents already know he's gay.. he DID plan to tell them eventually, but they found out themselves by being snoopy.. so he's mad that they invaded his privacy and now he doesn't tell them about his personal life.

The best you can do in the worst situation is outsmart him. The next time he gets over protective of his daughter, make some smart mouthed comment about how he's really compensating for his insecurities by being over-protective of his daughter. Mindgames.

Challenge him to a game of Chess. 10 bucks says he'll accept. 20 bucks says if you beat him or give him a tough game, he'd think you're pretty intellectual and deserve his daughter.

Buy him a case of his favorite beer and then buy him some veal, or pork. Make sure its at least 2 pounds or more. He'll love you after that.

Kill the dad or dump the girl, your choice.
Thanks for your 2 cents everyone, but my GF's dad doesn't even know were going out yet. Her mom knows, and shes cool with it. But we're having trouble breaking it to her dad because of his severe OCD and overprotectiveness. He has a terribly short temper and has physically hurt my girlfriend before. I'm afraid if I try anything he's gonna go ballistic!

I'd say try to at least get a tolerable father-son relationship going with him because if you don't it'll always hang over your head.

Happened to me once, It's not good, especially when the guy tries to make you look bad ALL the time and doesn't even tell it to you in person.
My girlfriends dad likes me and its actually pretty cool.

OCD
ask your GF about stuff that really bothers him, and don't do it (i mean, except dating her of course)
when the news are broken to him....you, your gf, and her mom should all be there to tell him
show him that you're a good guy and will do anything to protect his little girl, that's what he's looking for
then have a chat with him privately, don't forget a sheild though in case he does go ballistic and make sure of where the exits are in all cases.....XD

Wait until she's 18 and cross your fingers.
It worked for me in my situation. Mine was a lot worse, but I don't feel like elaborating.

Oh, c'mon CK open up, we're all good listeners...
Every man loves beer and meat (sorta) and every man likes receiveng those two things without paying for them.
Some dos and don't
Dont wear cologne when your at her house
Do flush when your done
Dont let any gas escape your body, period.
Do hit on her mom, trust me.
Dont have seconds, unless her mom insists.
The booze and veal is probably your best bet.

i usually know the girl quite a while and the parents get to know me before i do something. So right my gf's dad really likes me...although in this case she's a bit more awkward about it(she's a junior in highschool and i've graduated, though i'm still gonna be close by fofr college) so she hasn't told her parents yet but I doubt they'd have a problem with it. I know MY mom was kinda expecting it for a while so maybe it's the same for them.
But my general advice is try to spend time talking with him. Like start by talking alot at dinner if you're over, then try conversing directly with him at the dinner table, then make sure to strike up conversation whenever you get the chance, like if he's a typical tool guy ask him if he's got any projects going, etc. Talk about things you don't necessarily give a crap about but he's into. Overall, be polite but not too formal. Don't distance yourself from him, but don't act like he's your dad too. That's for marriage XD.
