Today, at the age of 23, I brought my boyfriend over to meet my parents. My father swabbed his mouth for DNA and fingerprinted him. FML

kelbel89 tells us more.

Hey guys. This is the full scoop. My father is about 5'9'' and my boyfriend is 6'4''. My dad was going to intimidate him in anyway he could. He started the night off by answering the door and telling my BF that I was out on my real date for the night. Obviously, my dad has a very dry sense of humor. I don't think he was actually going to send what he collected to a lab, but he didn't crack a smile the whole time it was going on. I tried to stop him, multiple times, at which point my dad said that my boyfriend was lucky he couldn't find any latex gloves that day because it meant he was going to have to skip the prostate exam. My mother was there and thought it was hilarious. My boyfriend is wonderful and rolled with the punches. He took it very well and we are still together. :) Many of you asked if my dad works in law enforcement. Nope, he's just a Texan (which I feel I should point out my boyfriend is not). My father is incredibly proud of himself, I think even more so now that so many of the comments were in his favor. I was, and still am, absolutely mortified.

Just looking out for you. It could be worse. He couldn't give a damn about you.

Either your dads a cop or just paranoid, it's good to know he cares though right?

YES. Well played, sir. If my daughter's dates aren't mortally terrified of me, I will consider myself a failure as a father.

For my high school dances, my dad usually wasn't even home. I love my dad but that always made me a little sad. A daughter may act embarrassed but at the end of the day, it's nice when a father takes the time to scare her dates.

i hope your comment was sarcastic. intimidation tactics by fathers just shows how much they distrust their duaghters. when my dad was really nasty to a bf i had at 18 i gave him a dressing down. it just isnt on.

Yeah cuz it's much better to have our daughters kidnapped raped an possibly killed. Your right we shouldn't use scare tactics. Cuz serial killers always tell ya that's what they are

As a father, the duty is to scare them into gentlemanly behavior. We're not trying to run off every guy that our daughters like, nor terrify them into a crying heap huddled in a corner, just ensuring good behavior by reminding them that mistreating our daughters has consequences. If they run away or cower in terror, they had no intention of treating the girl in question in any sort of way that they think a father might find acceptable.

If I could make a guy sit in the corner an cry I'd be so proud of myself lol

57 we women are quite capable of picking a sane guy without our fathers butting in. as i said before it shows complete distrust of the daughter to believe that she would blindly date a rapist or psychopath and is actually a little sexist. do you really think a psycho doesnt know how to play thr family anyway?

do you really think anybody walking an first thing they see is a shitgun an a shovel wouldnt have a change of heart

monnanon 13

no they wouldnt. thats what psychopaths are like. they have a goal and all you are doing is making the chase more fun. all you will achieve is chasing away all the genuinely nice guys.

When I brought my boyfriend home the first time, I was a little disappointed my dad didn't do anything.

Thank you 89. Women aren't idiots, not are they property that needs "protecting". My dad loves me dearly, but is an adult and has never done any of these immature scare-tactics bullshit. I've survived fine and am a well-adjusted person. Shocking, I know, that women can manage their own lives without men protecting them.

I would hate to be shot by a shitgun, sir.

But how epic would it be to be able to shoot a turd out of a gun at somebody

Hey you can never be too safe when making sure your daughter is dating a good guy! Hopefully your boyfriend will be able to just laugh it off. I mean, I would have laughed uncontrollably throughout the whole process. Haha :)

Sorry, OP, but your dad sounds AWESOME! I am definitely filing that away for use when my daughters are dating.

Always do background checks on potential son-in-laws. He could have been more covert about it though. The glass you boyfriend used could have supplied both DNA and finger prints.

I don't think OP's father really wanted to be sneaky about that. He was, most likely, trying to make OP's boyfriend uncomfortable.

Yeah... I suggest keeping relationships secret from your parents for a while or until they mature from this stage

I.like to imagine your boyfriends face as this was happening .

Well he's on record...extra safe dad? Either way he really wants to keep his daughter protected...

All my dad did was ask whether my boyfriend watches the rugby or not -_-
