if her dad is dead, it cant hurt to talk to her mom, but i see no reason you should have to talk to her siblings about it. that would just be personal preference.

Good.I only date adult women not kids or kids masquerading as adults. I will definitely meet the parents. I have to see how her mom treats her dad. They will give me way more insight into her expectations/pov than asking him some meaningless traditional ?. It may disqualify her too.

This was the case with me and my wife. Her dad died of a heart attack when she was still in high school. After that it was just her and her mom. So when it came time, I asked her mom for permission.

The fact that you are avoiding revealing your age is a huge tell about your personality and why you are single.

I'd bet he's no more than 19 with the maturity of the average 15 year old.

It all depends on who she looks up to. Who she respects.

Of course I did. And when my SIL came to me to ask for my daughter, I drilled him.

No, she doesn't have a good relationship with her dad. I just knocked her up instead

My wife was in 30s and I late 20s, she had already been married once. I did not ask my FIL and we have a great relationship. When I proposed was really kinda spur of the moment and honestly I didn't know better to ask FIL As many things that I was taught about showing respect growing up that was the one thing i wasn't told to do somehow.

Old enough to let my GF make her own decisions.

I'm aware Stringer is just trolling, but as much as it pains me to say it, he does make some decent points

this tradition came from when people got married much younger than today, often the daughter was still living with the parents, thus the asking for permission

I get it is still traditional and all today, it is certainly not a "must do" thing nowadays and certainly should not be frowned upon if someone does not do it

Oh, man... Yes I did. And I STILL catch shite for that conversation from my BIL's.

Thanks for the trip down memory lane. My FIL is dead now but that is one day I'll always share with him.

Thanks for verifying I was pretty much dead on target with my guess on your age.
