he thinks you're not good enough for her, and he's right. You can use this to your advantage though. The more he tries to get her to stop seeing you, the more she'll want to do you.

He probably thinks no one is good enough for his daughter, like an idiot...

He's no idiot for not wanting his daughter to associate with scum lowlifes - OP what are your goals/ambitions?

Someone's bitter! Did the father of your SO forbid you from seeing her or something?
 
give me the address were we can all 4 meet i will put my "wood" on her, i will then leave, and you will explain to him what just happened.
 
Yeah, what's the age diff here? You can buy him beer and it's her first bfriend.

Anyway, pay as little attention to the stink eye as possible, but don't be a coward either.
 
You should take him aside and tell him that you have plans to marry his daughter and ask for his blessing. Even if you don't plan on it, it'd still be a great laugh!!! 😛
 
1. Find out something that he likes to do with his daughter, play basketball, go for walks, watch a certain show on tv, etc.
2.You start doing that same thing with her.
3. Figure out how you can make the schedules conflict and force her to choose between doing it with him or you. Then wine and cry so she chooses you.
4. He will LOVE knowing that you have taken over for him.
5. To seal the deal, "accidentally" leave a used condom in their toilet for him to find.

You will be set for life!!!

So Im dating this girl, and I think her dad would love to see me vanish under a ditch somewhere. He's really rude to me every time I see him, sometimes not even responding with a greeting back to me when I say "Hello". He gives me the most evil cut eye in the world and tends to invade our privacy very often when we are at her house.

I don't know why all the hate, Im a really nice guy, I keep it cool with everyone, he should be happy Im with his daughter instead of some jerkoff that just wants a piece of ass. Her mom loves me on the other hand...so why not the dad?

I was thinking about buying him some beer or a bottle of something as a nice gesture, but I don't even feel comfortable doing that since I haven't exchanged more then 1 word with him.

At this point I have kind of given up trying to make myself likeable, Im just gonna play the respectful role of greeting/departing with good manners, because that's all I can do from my side.

To all the dads out there, wouldnt you like want to initiate conversation with your daugheters boyfriend to find out what type of guy he is???

Im trying to think of a reason why he might not like me, so here is some of the stuff I came up with:

Me, his daugheters first boyfriend
Me of Polish background, her Portugese
Him, physical labour grunt, workaholic, hammers ****** together at work/home from dusk till dawn + more, me, I do the "intellectual" jobs lol, I do my "labour" at the gym.

Anything else I am missing? Im kinda lost here, please help 🙂

Hmm you must be the 25 year old dating the 16 year old we have been talking about for a week 😉

lol
 
"dads" generally don't take an instant dislike to bf's of their daughters; if that does happen, there's some history that you're missing or not telling us. If you have the mom's support, work with that and let her convince him that you're "okay". Regardless of age or duration of the relationship, most dads don't like seeing their daughters doing the serious "grope and fumble" with bf's, so save it for later.

you can try establishing some communication or at least a base line friendship with the dad, but realize that it's likely not you that causing the problem, rather a generation gap. If the dad hasn't been active with kids, he might not know how to relate to them on a personal basis; he may only have the experience of his kids to teach him, and its hard to transfer that learning method, to kids that aren't his own. Dads that have been coaches, chaperones, ect. are generally more relaxed around kids and easier to get along with.

Advice: what are his hobbies, do you have any common activities (football, hunting, computer gaming, ect.), build on common references that you both know. Don't go overboard. Keep in mom's good graces; she will help you alot. And be careful to treat his daughter with alot of respect and courtesy whenever you're around him (hopefully you do this all time but.................); treat her as an equal.

good luck

Ya but, eventually someone will put the wood to his little girl. He must get over this.

But you are the first boyfriend. I doubt you're getting any... you're about....15 years tops?

Dads get awfully protective of their daughters.

Which is stupid.

It's stupid to gamble, too. And yet, Vegas.

No, gambleing can be fun. It's no fun for anyone to get over-protective.

wow....you see the point....it floated right over your head.

Yes. If I had a daughter I would have to accept the fact that she's a woman and will follow the cycle of meeting a guy sooner or later. At least I would talk to the guy she was dating and then make my decision from there, is this guy alright or do I need to break his legs.

Harder than it seems, or so I have heard.
