Today, I was having dinner with my boyfriend. We'd just got our food when my dad walks in, comes up to our table and says, "I didn't say you could leave, you're too young to be dating him", then drags me out of the restaurant. We are both 15, and it was my first date. FML

Today, I was eating at a restaurant when a man came up to me and said, "You're pathetic for having lunch with someone that much older than you." My dad immediately got up and punched the man in the face. My fiancé's parents had to walk in the door right as it happened. FML

Today, I was invited by my boyfriend's parents for dinner at their house. The dinner went well I thought, until I was getting ready to leave. Before I could make it out the front door, I could hear them discussing their disappointment that their son would ever consider someone like me. FML

Today, I was told off by a random woman who said that I should be ashamed of myself for dating such an older man. I was having dinner with my dad. FML

Today, my boyfriend picked me up to take me on a date. Just as we were about to drive away, my dad ran out of the house in his underwear and started yelling that he'd kill my boyfriend if I wasn't back home within the hour. FML

Today, my parents met my boyfriend for the first time. They spent the entire meal trying to convince him to dump me, all while I was sitting right next to him. FML

Today, I met my boyfriend's father for the first time. We were at a restaurant and my bofriend kept playing footsie with me under the table. When my boyfriend excused himself to go to the restroom, the game of footsie was still going on. FML

Today, I went on a first date with a guy I really like. He brought up that there was a person staring at us from a nearby table. That person was my mom. FML

Make up your mind - was he your boyfriend or was it your first date?

I understand OP, the first guy I brought home, my dad made him fill out this survey thing. it was really embarrassing, but he hasn't done that since the first one.. it'll get better.

That sucks, yes. but if OPs dad said no then she should have never left and I know I wasn't allowed to actually date until I was 16. It's just proper... why rush dating? YDI for not listening to dad!

Maybe she asked her mom? We don't know the whole story, you know. And even if she didn't, love > parents.

I'm surprised that the restaurant actually served people so young. But, FYL my parents would do the same to me.

Are you serious? The restaurant could be sued if they didn't serve them, in an extreme case. Teenagers ARE considered responsible enough to act respectibly in public (without their parents), and most of them do. As long as OP and her date were acting like responsible adults, they have no reason not to be served.

restaurants generally don't refuse to serve because of age. if you got the money, they got the food. plus, she didn't say it was a fancy restaurant. it could be McDonalds for all we know. (not classy, but I have had some great dates with my own boyfriend at McDonalds.)

I'm 15, and I've eaten at many classy reaustrants with my other 15 year old friends. Never have we been refused service, I've never even heard of that happening before. My 10 year old sister has eaten out with her friends before!!
