Thread: Do most guys get afraid of dads?

A lot of guys find my dad 'scary' this one guy said "Your dad is like Darth Vader, he's scary, I'm not even kidding" My dad say he won't let me date until I'm forty:-) I'm almost six feet, 40", my bust is 38D, is my dad being normal? I'm almost seventeen
My mom wants me to court, BS, I'm not

I hope he's kidding. He is being protective. Whats mom say?

its all part of it, just chill out. your dad is just looking out for you.
i myself want to date and wanted to at a younger age as you. though when im a father i dont know about that. with my girls. ill have to learn. but i would want to protect them all the time. male or female. but the good news is once you find a guy that will stick it out with you even though your dad is scary as hell, and he is willing to put up with all his crazy rules, then you know that this guy is the right kinda guy to be dating. for sure.

truely.

just wait. be patient with your father and let what comes come. and what goes go..
(easier said than done)
k good luck

I had the same problem, but my daughter only ever bought 2 boyfriends home, and last year she married the second one.

Both of them seemed somewhat scared of me at first, but once they got to know me they realised that they had nothing to be afraid of.

I think it's possible a reverse protective thing. They probably think that when they have daughters, they will want them to pick the best guy they can, and assume that their girlfriend's father will be just as protective.

As an aside, my son's girlfriends were a bit hesitant when they met me, so it could be a general 'meeting of possible prospective parent's in law' syndrome.

Dads do tend to be protective of their baby girls. It's a natural thing that they don't want some boy violating their daughter. (That's because they remember being a teen boy too.)

And as long as the boy is respectful towards Dad (and treats you well), he should be okay with Dad. If he acts like an idiot or paws on you in front of Mom or Dad, then he has every reason to be scared of him.

And even though Mom wants you to court, that is your choice, not hers. And courting hasn't been done by most couples in eons.
