Love: Grown ups in the room

Grown ups in the room

By Tragics - 11/11/2009 18:53 - Canada

Today, my date sent me a text saying, "I'm sorry we're running late, we will be there shortly." I replied asking what she meant by "we." She said her parents, who were coming along to chaperone. I laughed about two 27 year-olds having chaperones, until she walked in with her parents. FML

Escape game

Today, my date escaped through a second-storey bathroom window before our drinks even arrived. She later texted me that it wasn’t my fault, I just reminded her too much of her father, even though I’m two years younger than her and look nothing like the photos I've seen of him. FML

First Dates

By mildver - 20/04/2009 04:51 - Costa Rica

Today, I went to a date with a girl I thought liked me. We sat down at a restaurant, ordered some food and started talking. After 30 minutes, she said with a sigh of relief, "THANK GOD! There's my dad. Now I can leave. Bye, thanks for the dinner." The food hadn't even arrived yet. FML

Today, I met and asked a cute girl out on a date. We decided to meet at a fancy restaurant downtown. When I got there I saw her sitting with what turned out to be her parents. They made a huge scene, calling me a pedophile and a low-life. Apparently, the girl was 16 years-old. I'm 25. FML

Today, whilst on a date I recieved my sixth missed call from my mother. I excused myself and went outside and called her, she and my father wanted to know why I was having dinner and holding hands with another man. It turns out they were also on a date. At the same place. FML

Today, I asked my girlfriend if she wanted to go to the movies. She replies, "Sorry I have to do stuff with my parents" Her mum calls and by mistake my girlfriend pressed loud speaker, the first thing her mum said was "Be back at 11". FML

Sitcom moment

Today, my crush invited me to her house and I ended up meeting her dad. Then she suddenly had to dash off because her boyfriend, whom I had no idea existed, unexpectedly had free time so they were going on a last minute date, which left me awkwardly sat there in the kitchen with her dad. FML

Today, my boyfriend was taking me to dinner to meet his parents. As we pulled into the restaurant valet, I saw a woman in a slutty dress and hooker heels get out of the car ahead of us. I jokingly asked if we had accidentally pulled into a strip club, pointing at the woman. It was his mother. FML

It should be no big deal for a first date. Most guys usually don't get hot sex on the first date anyways. (I said "most" guys ;) ) If the parents are still tagging along when you are due for a roll in the hay, you may want to move on.

Oh, I think the OP shouldn't be sure of anything with this girl. That's why he needs to have an exit strategy with this one.

#10, judging from this "(I said "most" guys ;) )," I'm assuming that means you've never had sex in your life and you want to seem like a badass, right?

I don't think the issue is "will this affect what I say/do on the date?" Yeah, I've had first dates that were PG-rated. I still expect the person to be at a normal psychological level for a late-20's adult. If someone brought their parents on our first date, I wouldn't be thinking "OMG this is really going to affect how I act tonight." I'd be thinking "OMG I'm going on a date with someone who IS VERY SERIOUSLY DEVELOPMENTALLY STUNTED." So #10, I think you missed the point.

Bwaha, oh Saskatchewan. How I love it. Sadly, a number of names popped into my head about who this could be, before realizing that they're not 27 yet.
