Ok, this guy stopped by my gf's work last sunday... and he's someone she knew from before when she was a sophomore in college.... and he asked her out to dinner to catch up... and he knows she has a boyfriend.... and she said ok...
I said it was ok at first, but today, right before when she went out at 6pm, I gave her a curfew by 9pm to get home since i figured that a dinner shouldn't take more than 2-3hours. She got mad. Am i being too protective? :(

If she's gonna leave, putting restrictions on her isn't going to make her want to stay. If it is meant to be, it will be.

I wouldn't give her a cerfew, but I wouldn't want he to go out with someone from college days. If I was in her position, I'd turn it down just to make my girlfriend happy. Maybe go out to lunch or something? Not a full-blown dinner though...

you should stop being so controlling, just give her a box of condoms and tell her to have fun

Haven't you posted threads like this before?

You need to loosen up man. Trust me. TRUST ME.

If you love and care about this girl, you will loosen up, or you WILL lose her.

it depends, if there was romance between them before then no, it is not over protective, however if there were just friends from college, then that should be fine.

although, i usually don't believe boys and girls can just be friends.

She should respect you before anyone else -except parents and stuff. However, you can't let her do anything. You also can't NOT let her do anything. It's her decision. Period. See what decision she makes and talk to her about your feelings instead of clamming up or babbling on about them on the internet.

Haven't you made a poll like this before? If you need ATOT's help on everything, why get involved in real life at all? Just STFU.

I would let her go out, and I wouldn't panic if she isnt back by 10pm. However, much later than that, and I would be getting worried.

This sort of thing is why asian women go out with white men. white men don't give curfews(sp?)
