Today, I asked out the man of my dreams. He told me he'd ask his dad if it was okay. I thought he was just kidding, until he pulled out his phone and called his dad. After a few minutes of "come on, dad" and "but why?" he hung up and said his dad wouldn't let him. He's 22. FML

Today, I asked out the man of my dreams. He's smart, attractive, and has a steady job. Imagine my surprise when he accepted. Then imagine my surprise when he followed up with, "Hah, just kidding. You're fucking BORING!" FML

Today, I finally found the courage to ask a guy I like out for a drink. He accepted, we drank, and when it came time to go home, I half-drunkenly left him my number. Once I got back home, I realized I'd actually given him my dad's number instead. FML

Today, I got asked out for the second time in my life. Since my first date didn't go so well I thought I might have better luck with a different guy. I had to end the date when he confessed it was his destiny to kill his father. FML

Today, I called my dad to tell him my boyfriend had proposed to me, and that we're planning on being married this summer. He was surprised at the short engagement, so I said, "Well, we're almost 30." Dad replied, "Wow, I left your mom when I was 35!" So not the conversation for that information, Dad. FML

Property dispute

Today, I asked my girlfriend's dad for permission to take her hand in marriage. He said no, because he doesn't want her marrying a "sexist idiot who treats her like property", which he thinks asking permission amounts to, then told me to grow up. FML

Today, I'm 20 years-old and I was propositioned by a 42 year-old man, who turned out to be my dad's friend who helped care for me when I was 2 to 7 years-old. FML

If he faked the call, then he's not worth it. Not having enough guts, tact and respect for the other person to be honest with them are major, glaring flaws If he was seriously talking to his father, then he's still not worth it. If he doesn't have the confidence and self-esteem to make decisions like that for himself at 22, he's got some serious self-worth/reliance issues. Overall conclusion: he's not worth it.

Either he's an ass or a weird Daddy's boy, in either case, he isn't the man of your dreams.

Was it really his dad or was he trying to let you down easily?

I would think he should be able to make his own discussions and the father he should be asking should be yours...

That's if he wants to ask to marry her, not if she asks him on a first date :/

Well now, that was interesting. What happened to the days when a person could respond with a simple yes or no? Now it's all about making up some elaborate lie instead of being honest. You dodged a bullet, OP. This 'man' is too pathetic to waste any more time on.
