Today, my parents met my girlfriend for the first time and cooked us dinner. After, I was helping clean up in the kitchen and my dad says to me, "Don't worry, you have to slay a couple of dragons before you get to the princess." and winks at me. She heard. I was going to propose to her tonight. FML

dragonslayer tells us more.

We met in Europe, and I currently live in England and my parents live in the States, so that's why they haven't met her yet. I still proposed, and she said yes. And yes, my dad was calling her ugly.

First time she meets the parents and already you're proposing?

Your dad sounds geeky like my dad, but I like the humor.

sounds like something my dad would say. and then no one would laugh, so he'd think no one heard him, and he'd repeat it. again and again. ::rolls eyes:: if he's anything like mine, he's being a jerk but honestly doesn't realize it. obviously if you're bringing her to meet them, you really have feelings for her. i guess just ignore him...but i'm sure your girl was really hurt by it, that sucks :( at least she has a guy who cares about her, whether she's a "dragon" or not...

And still do! Shallow parental views shouldn't get in the way of your happiness!!! Gl =]

#3- he wasn't referring to proposing, he just meant that he was planning on proposing to her that night but it was kind of ruined when his dad compared her to a dragon. Wow that sucks though. This is definitely a FYL, although I do agree with some of the others that rushing into it probably isn't a good idea. Maybe sit your dad down and tell him that she is your princess and ask him to try and not to **** it up so bad next time =D

i don't get it, your parents met her for the first time, and you would already propose? i agree with #8

Damn that must've really hurt her. On the bright side, if she truly is a 'dragon', then your dad might have done you a favor. I'd hold off on a proposal until you've survived a few more dinners with the parents. Yeah, this is an FYL. Better luck next time.

what a jackass to tell you while she was still in the house... forget your rents marry her anyways

Your dad needs a swift kick in the pants.

i dont get it, are your parents the dragons you have to get through? or are they refering to her as the dragon

If you didn't automatically come back with something like "She is my princess" then you deserve a kick as much as your old man does! Srsly, though. FYL and FHL either way.
