You man up and ask for his blessing. He doesn’t have to give it and you don’t have to listen to what he says. You tell him your intentions with his daughter and then you ask the daughter. If you are not strong enough to do it, that’s on you.

Do you live with her right now?

How did you ask your s/o dad for permission?
Talk to your S/O about it and make sure she is ready and wants to marry you. Then ask for his blessing. At that point you're letting them know it's happening. If he doesn't give it, then he's either a real a-hole or you're a shitty person.

I didn’t, I asked my wife who I was marrying.

It’s a respect thing. I have a great FIL. I didn’t ask anything, but I told him my intentions clearly because I respected him and value his opinion.

I tried once and he didn’t say yes or no. Wondering how I can bring it up again.
Take the hint. He doesn’t want you to marry his daughter. Either do it without his blessing or don’t.

Absofrickinlutely you man up. I visited her parents and put the ring on their dining room table and told them that I was going to give it to their daughter and It was important to me that we have their blessing. My future mother in law picked up the ring and played with it for the entire conversation. The next day I asked my wife and told her that I met with her parents the day before.
These are important events. You can’t shy away from it.

This is something people still do?

I called her family on the phone and told them I was going to ask her.
That was it. I don't need their permission.

I’d ask permission if there was a chance I’d get a couple of goats or some cattle out of it I guess

Don’t ask. Tell him you want to marry his daughter and that his support would be very much appreciated. If he’s intimidating, he’d probably respect you more for being direct and not beating around the bush.

My "s/o"'s dad begged me to. Gave me his own ring from one of his previous failed marriages.

Call him up (don’t text) and ask to meet with him one day. Meet with him and ask him directly for his blessing. Sure it’s kind of scary, but it’s better to be direct. He will appreciate that directness.
Note: I’m not married or engaged, but this is just what I would do.

Or had one of your son in laws ask for your daughter? My girlfriends dad is an intimidating man and I tried once and he didn’t say yes or no. Wondering how I can bring it up again.
Don’t ask for permission. Are you not going to marry her if he says no? We’re in our 30s, so I called said some nice things, and said I hope we had their blessing. But it was a courtesy call, not an ask.

I didn’t ask, honestly I didn’t even know that was a thing to do back then. I respect my FIL, but didn’t know to discuss with him. I learned that 2-3 years after the fact and felt bad I didn’t do it

My parents are a true love story. Marky Mark, my father, told me how it went down.
Dated her for 2 years in early 20. Grandpa Louis just dropped her at my door one morning and said she’s your problem.
(happily) married for 40 years now.

I didn't ask for his permission, I'm a grown man. Out of respect, I did ask for his blessing. I wasn't worried about it at all, he's a great guy and we have a great relationship.
