Warning

Today, I got a Facebook message from a cute guy I used to work with. He admitted to liking me, and when I asked why we never hung out, he told me that my dad, his boss at the time, threatened every guy I have ever worked with. FML

A proper male would have looked your dad in the eyes as he fu--kissed you, establishing his dominance. Your dad was protecting you from weak men.

That's what Dads are supposed to do. It stinks I'm sure. But that's a good Dad.

Dads are not supposed to threaten every guy that likes his daughter that's just ridiculous. He's supposed to be supportive and advise her as necessary and be there if she gets hurt but blocking her from every guy she could've dated, if she wanted to, does not make him a good father. That's just taking 'protective' too far.

Leave it to the dad's to **** block!

It's probably for The best, workplace relationships are generally A no no plus his boss is your dad which if your relationship ended poorly his job could have been on the line.

I've been there before. My brother did the same thing when he was part of a youth group and I was coming out to visit quite a lot. I feel your annoyance OP!

Were you dating your brother? How does you visiting him fit into this?

#34-you really don't get it? He was going to the youth camp outings, ostensibly to visit his brother, but in reality to meet girls. Brother probably whispered a few choice words to the girls, effectively **** blocking him. Dear Jebus, I'm old and I didn't need it spelled out for me!

Your dad clearly has boundary issues. It's one thing for a man to tell guys to treat his daughters right, but to threaten them? Meanwhile, he wouldn't give a whit of concern if it were his son. Hope it's not too late for you two, OP.

I would have a talk with your dad about that. I understand that he just wants to "protect you", but you need to make your own decisions in life and if they end up being mistakes- you learn from them. Your dad should allow you to be romantically involved with someone, now that you are/almost are an adult, you can take the responsibility of protecting yourself; he does not need to do it for you and should not be doing for you. Make sure he knows that he is stepping out of line when he personally interferes with your life like that. Good luck to you!
