That's exactly what I was going to say. She said her family wouldn't like it if she dated him...but did she say she didn't want to? I think her only mistake was that she was a little too honest. I understand not wanting to piss family off, since they can make things real hard, but she should have just told him she wouldn't go out with him. Period. No explanation. I know that my family would feel the same way hers does, but would I ever tell a guy that? Nooooooooooooo. I would simply say, "You'd be a nice friend, but I'm not interested in dating." Although, at this point in my life, I doubt I would discount a great guy like that because my family never approves anyway, but I realize that some people do feel the need to take into account what their family would do/say.
