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

Wow that sucks, FYL. if I was your bf/date I would be mad...your dad needs to chill

Her dad doesn't need to "chill". She obviously didn't even ask if she could leave. I hope that taught her a lesson so that she doesn't do it again. Her dad is looking out for her. He seems like a better father than a lot of other teens have. I guess this generation just feels they're entitled to everything. Or maybe your parents just let you do whatever you want at 14 years old. Maybe one day in the future you'll see what I'm trying to say.

Aww memories! I was 15 also and my husband was 18 when we first dated. And yes, he was my "boyfriend" before we went on our "first" official date. (I also had strict parents and could not go out alone) Why is it so hard for people to picture? Kids go to school together and determine if they consider the other person their boy/girl friend. (:

I think what made it worse was that I was 14, and he was 17 xP

My current boyfriend and I started dating when I was 14 and he was 17. Today we've been dating for almost 3 years, both of my parents love him & his love me. We were actually just talking yesterday about how absurd it sounds that we started dating at those ages, especially with that gap. But, it worked :)

Kastra is officially the official who officially decided when relationships may officially start. I don't remember voting for you.

If you father told you no and you went out despite that, you deserve what you got. Embarrassment is the least of your concerns. You are too young to be dating someone if you father says you are. 18 and you can have sex with fifteen guys if you want but at 15 legally he controls your life.

No, actually the dad did the right thing because unless its abuse (hitting, starving her) then he can decide to take her out of a date at any point. It might not make him popular but it is his money feeding and keeping her safe and his house she lives in so it is his right to say who she can and cannot hang out with. Take this before a judge and he will side with the child. "I am in love with him," is not an excuse because this was their first date. When she is 18 then she is allowed to do as she pleases but this is not an argument because her father is the parent and decided this was what he was going to do and it is the right, fair thing in his mind. And no, it's not just dinner. She snuck out without permission then she deserves to be punished.
