Well, without repeating all the comments from numerous people who have said, basically, "grow up," I'll stick to my area of expertise: mathematics. Of course, this is 3rd grade mathematics, so if your math competence is on the same level as your ability to deal with your dad's gf, you should still be able to handle it, barely.

You're 23. If she marries your father, she's going to be your step mother for possibly 40 years. That's nearly twice as long as you are old right now. Think about it. Every time there's a family get together (xmas, etc.), she's going to be there. When you have children of your own, she is going to be their grandmother. So, quit being a dick.
 
Why are you burning this bridge? There's no reason to foster a cold relationship with her. If she and your dad atually go forward with the relationship, it could leave you in a bad spot.
 
i dont really see how her wanting to establish a relationship with you is such a bad thing. she is just being friendly. i think in a normal situation, most significant others would want to try and get along with their bf/gf's family. (even if you don't live at their house). I would consider it would look worse if she did not try to befriend you or get to know you at all more.

I think most people are putting you down because you're not viewing the situation logically or normally. If your father's gf was that evil...she would more likely just ignore you and not want to get to know you at all.

I think until she really does something outright awful you shouldn't be so quick to judge or even speculate her intentions. Let her actions speak for themselves. So far, what she's done isn't harmful or negative so I wouldn't overanalyze it. Even though it's hard to see through all of the namecalling, I think the majority of the people have a point. You DO seem immature with how you're dealing with the situation. Of course you can go on and on about how we don't know the real you or the whole story but from what you've posted here, that's how you come across. I have no reason to make you feel bad and I don't get my kicks from putting people down (like some people on this forum do) but I'm just calling it like it is. If you allow it, this could be a wake up call to see how your way of thinking wasn't all that rational in the first place. 99% of this thread can't be wrong can it? 😛

anyways, best of luck to you. If you choose not to be more than "cordial" with this lady, that's your choice and you can do whatever you want. but based on her actions, she seems pretty harmless and nice.
 
Is your dad's GF hot? I doubt it. But if she is, what's your problem? 🙂

If she's nice, be nice back. If she isn't nice, tell her to **** off. If you think she's being a phony, go with it and make fun her.

that's what i thought, too.

anyways, just give her a shot... she wants to be closer to you because she loves your pops. she doesn't want to be someplace where she's not 100% accepted or wanted, especially when it's involving the most important thing in your pops' life. she just wants to be accepted and included and whatnot... like a real family kind of feel. just go with it for a little bit... be nice and stop being an asshole.
