So my father bought these three tickets to go see the giants at $10 a pop. Originally it was going to be me and my sister and my father gonig to the game. But, my sister bailed. So I was talking to this girl and she mentioned how she had never been to a game this year. Needless to say, I know oprotunity when it smacks me accross the face, so I asked her to the game and she is all excited about going (at least, I hope). All the same, she is going and so is my father. This would be find if I were 15 years old. But uhh.... I'm 18. It just seems as if this is going to set up some owkward situtations, especially when we drive down there. Would I be an ass if I asked him not to go? Would I be an ass if I asked her to drive? We are talking 120miles round trip. Not to mention parking fees and bridge fees and all that. It just seems wierd taking a girl to a ball game with my dad, espically sience it would be our first "date" if you want to call it that.

When is it? Maybe a small "date" beforehand? If not, just go with your dad, just save the mushy stuff for another date, it'll be something she'll look forward to

Go with your dad and the girl.
Your dad bought the tickets for a family thing. It would be more than rude to ask him not to go.

sh!t, I knew is was comming, sorry, dont have any beign as how I just got her phone number a few days ago.
Eakers, no I havn't told her. I probably should, but I was hoping I could pull it off with just meeting him there and not having to drive with her in the back seat of my mini van. I don't know, could be just me but that screams tacky.
Yeah, I still have to pay for her ticket (dont mind its $10
), but It's like, I wanna drive her down and at least have some privacy. Well, it's my father, we don't get along very well except when we are out of the house doing something (fishing, hiking, baseball games). And he is a little strange. I can't imangine what what we will talk about. Besides, he will probably bring up internet porn or something (and It wouldnt be the first time).
As a girl and as a parent I think the situation would have been easier to handle if you had asked your dad first if you could invite her. Plus I would hope that when you asked her that you would have mentioned the fact that it was supposed to be a family trip. One, it just isn't cool to go out with a guy, then find that out and feel like a second wheel. Two, you could have scored major points with her if you had let her know that she was special enough to be invited out on said family trip.
Going to a game isn't going to leave you a lot of alone time so I don't think it matters if your dad goes or not. If you just want to get to know each other in a quiet setting then maybe your dad should go with two people that would actually watch the game, which is what you just said she wanted to do in the first place so yet another problem solved.
As for driving...Ask her if she'd be cool with switching off. I would never take offense if someone asked that, but remember, you are the one that invited her so you should be the one willing to do the driving, buying, etc. Once the offer is extended and accepted it's just not that polite or impressive to go back and start adding on favors or expectations like that.
Oh...and great price for the tickets!

Yeah, talk to your dad about the situation and how he'd feel if you brought her to the game. If he feels comfortable go ahead, otherwise, buy tickets for another game.

Well thats some good advice, thanks.
I guess I left some stuff out. Yes, my father knows about me taking her, he told me to find someone a week ago and I did. I didn't think that it would be a girl but whatever (funny, I doubt my dad was thinking I could invite a girl). Anyways, I mentioned to him and he is ok with taking her, not a problem. I am just uncomfortable with taking her with my father. Maybe it is because I am so unexperienced with the whole dating scene or whatever. All the same, I wish I could have it another way. Oh, and the tickets are standing only tickets, they don't have seats lol. Seriously.
EDIT: Welcome to the forum! :beer:

It would be really rude to outst your dad on this. Just tell her that he was the one who bought the tickets and that it'll be fun.

Can you bring a chair yourself if it's standing only? Or is there literally _only_ room to stand?
Well.....
It ended up like this. We went to the game and stood in the standing room areas. We were in a good spot and watched the game for about three innings. Then I noticed the guy wasn't checking tickets going up into the club section. So we went up there and found some empty seats! We were behind homeplate on the second level, Awesome seats, simply awesome. And, we could order stuff from a menu, and walk around in the club section. What a deal that was. Thank god there are lazy people out there. We were supposed to go a club afterwards, but that floped. So, we ended up talking for a while, and she promised to call tomorrow. I guess we will see what happens eh? Ill probably post some problem later because I am a moron and have no idea how to handle girls, espically those who are into girls and guys.
