Asked her father for permission. He is still "thinking about it" but he paid for it many years ago.

I love the I told them my intentions bs. Your actions will tell them more than your words ever can. STOP his seeking approval. You're adding more obstacles than need be and setting yourself up against another person's expectations that you may not live up to. IMO I'd be more pissed to be lied to my face than if you asked me or not because you're using manipulation rather than being true to you to make me like you.



No offense, you sound like an impudent little boy too full of piss and vinegar to realize he's not half a clever as he thinks he is.

His POV is based on life experience while yours is based on whatever hair-brained, absurd notions your still maturing mind cooked up.

It's not about "owning" the woman, it's about letting the father know that you respect him and all he's done to raise his daughter, and that you are going to do everything you can to take care of her the way he did

Hit the nail on the head

What happens if he beat her, raped her, etc? It's not outta respect its outta wanting his approval that you meet his expectations. It's pathetic.

It's often the case that when losing an argument one will reach for the most unlikely rare exception and give it the same weight as the "norm". I don't think any of the proponents of asking for a fathers blessing would include cases where the father was a rapist or abuser. For you to even try to use that arguement shows how immature you are on this.

Seriously, do you think anyone would say "yes, even if the father is a rapist, you should show him respect"? How fricking dumber are you?

I talked with both of her parents. I was nervous to talk with them but both of them were very excited about me proposing.

Like I said, your own words have verified that you're still a kid. Don't worry though, you'll grow up one day and you too will be able to tell when you're talking to an ignorant little shite.

He probably did it anyway and just didn't let you know.




I would hope he did. He sounds like a bitch if he didnt, and actually took her advice

Did the same thing. Took them to dinner told them my plans and invited them to the moment when I proposed. I've been told many times how much they appreciated that I let them in on my plan as well as giving them the opportunity to see the moment I proposed.

I didn't read this whole thread, just jumping in.

I say attempt because it's dang near impossible to get him away from everyone for 1 on 1 discussions.


My daughter's fiancé called me on a Monday and said he'd like to come over on the weekend to "talk to me about something." We decided on Friday. I knew what he wanted so I bought his favorite beer and got something ready to grill Friday night. I always liked the kid, but the way he handled this meeting only increased the respect.

He told me how much he loved my little girl. He told me why they are perfect for each other. He told me about his future plans for his career, finances, marriage, family, etc. He may have been a little more formal than needed. But you should at least ask and have a talk with the man.

That was last year and I walk her up the isle to him this Saturday.

I asked her mother and siblings. Dad was not a factor in her life beyond age 10. She didn't decide for him to walk her down the aisle until the morning of the wedding.


This scum bag did not show up for her college graduation. I offered to drive 2 hours to get him (he can't drive for health reasons) and he just no showed.

Yes, I drove to her parents house and her dad was outside working on a car. I told him my plans and asked if he was ok with it? He laughed and said that is fine.

It was not a big deal at all and the least of my worries. Picking out a ring and finding the right spot/time to do it was way more stressful.
