Today, I told my parents about the amazing guy I met. My mom immediately stormed out. My dad got up, looked at me and told me he's disappointed in me for "falling into the traps of the Internet," and leaves. I didn't meet him on the Internet. FML
littlekellilee tells us more.
Hey, I'm the OP! I'm 26, and my parents can be a little protective. I think they're worried that something will happen to me and they won't know who it was that did it. They're actually really amazing people. I chatted with them about it once they calmed down and everything is okay now, though they're still nervous about not knowing him. Thanks for the comments, everyone!

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.

They can't put anything on the internet that isn't true. I heard it on the internet. :D

It would be really awkward if you when they meant him you guys found that him and your mom had gone out.

English, do you speak it? OP, parental figures worry, maybe too much, but they love you. I'm glad they calmed down though.

it would be really awkward if when they met him you guys found out that him and your mom went out*** took me a bit but there you go x) lol that WOULD be extremely awkward. Why would you even think if that in the first place??

82, your grammar is abysmally bad. I had to read it three times before I understood it.

well, couldn't you solve that by introducing them, OP? if he's really that great, and your parents are willing to give him a chance if they get to know him, they may let up a little.

Even more correctly put: It would be really awkward if, when they met him, you guys find out that your mom and him had gone out.

Thank you #85 you saved a lot of people from getting a headache trying to figure out what he was trying to say... lol

I stand corrected, 92

Hmm...I shouldn't judge, I'm sure they're perfectly nice people...but you're 26?? That's not a normal level of worry.

You're probably right. I'm trying to ease them into this, and I don't want to creep him out by introducing him to my parents too soon.

yeah tell your parents you're planning on giving it a bit of time. My sister's ex boyfriend insisted on meeting my parents but she said no every time and eventually broke up with him. She couldn't see him as the bring-home-to-my-parents type. I'm glad she found him as annoying as I did haha

I find it exceptionally strange that your parents expect to know someone you've just started dating. Most people date people they meet at college or work or out and about, not only people their parents know and pre-approve of.

Your mom is jealous of your romance life still being active and your dad is just being an old minded person

Parents can be quick to jump to conclusions, and the reaction to that conclusion is pretty shitty, anyway. As long as you're careful about it, the Internet can give you some really great relationships. That's how I met my girlfriend

I hate how you used present and past tense in this FML. Did anyone else notice?

Wth?? Why are parents so overprotective?
EclipseCandy6 24
that's wierd they are all worried because you only just met him, and there's guna be a time when they meet him for the first time anyway, unless they expect you to date someone they have known forever
