this is going to be he most awkward lunch I'll say this about old dude, he didn't plan it out very well. He could of pulled you aside one day while visiting your house or something. That's what I did. We were outside tending to a BBQ while the women were inside and we talked for about about 2 minutes and he gave me a hug and said she was going to be excited.
If he would have said...no, let's do lunch next week so I can think about it. I would have done it, but forever thought of him as a clown.

Well, it's too late. You've already given him the "No". He knows this, since if you wanted him to marry your daughter, you'd say yes with little hesitation. He knows that you don't want him to marry your daughter, and he will probably ask her anyway knowing that you're going to be a bad father-in-law.

Then in that case it doesn't need your approval. He should ask you that in person. I don't care where he lives, if he is going through this courtesy, he needs to do it in person. You pretty much already said "No" and I say stay firm with this idiot.

And if he says no, what would you do?
Oh wait, like you're ever going to ask a girl to marry you. Except maybe that girl you have tied up in the hole underneath your shack.

I wasn't even planning to ask him. I didn't know if they were that traditional. My fiancé told me I didn't have to ask him if I ever proposed to her. We were together 4 years before I asked her so the topic had come up before.
I did it in a really casual way. It wasn't really asking, it was more like me telling him I was planning to propose and I was giving him a heads up. He and I have/had a good relationship so I did it out of respect so he wasn't surprised when I proposed.

Meh, these days its best to just tell the dad as a courtesy, "I plan on asking your daughter for her hand"
The whole asking the father thing is silly and just leads to judgy stupid shite like this dad's wanting to know your 5 year plan. Many girls dont even want you to "ask" permission anyway, as they are more and more independent.

Been going strong for over 4 years now. We met in 2005. Thank you for the childish attacks and insults that you have made about me. Carry on.

Now, let me get this straight.
You think that your daughter's boyfriend, a man with a job who obviously cares about his woman and respects your blessing, isn't worthy of said daughter, and your plan is to say "we'll talk later" to this person?
Good luck.

Wtf is wrong with you? I'm going to assume the two people love each other and will get married regardless. The father acting like a douche and pretending like his daughter is 10 years old will only foster ill-will and a bad relationship between the married couple and her parents.

He asked him this over the phone, which as a future father in law would have me highly questioning his intelligence. It's not as if he's marrying a Chinese chick where her father lives in Sichuan. He lives in a place where he can feasibly feasibly randomly have lunch. The guy is clearly dumb and it would have me questioning the man who would support my daughter for the rest of her life as well.

Sure, until she wants to stay home with the kids.

The kid told him to get back to him pretty quickly because with the baby coming in a few weeks and everything, he's going to be real busy.

1.Buy him a drink. Tell him to make sure there's always liquor in the house. The real secret to a successful mariage.
2.tell him about the no return policy.

Badman ... as someone who raised 3 grown daughters - all now in their 30s ... all I can say is that if your instincts are not telling you what to do and you need this message board to guide you ... you're doing it wrong and your daughter would probably be just as well advised to follow her own instincts and not rely on yours for guidance.
This is not the place for something as serious as your daughter's future brah.

She's pregnant, you really don't have much choice.
