Daddy's 10 Rules of Dating

[CrimsonTide4]

*DADDY'S TEN RULES OF DATING* [Guys take note.]

Rule One:
If you pull into my driveway and honk you'd better be delivering a package, because you're sure not picking anything up.

Rule Two:
You do not touch my daughter in front of me. You may glance at her, so long as you do not peer at anything below her neck. If you cannot keep your eyes or hands off of my daughter's body, I will remove them.

Rule Three:
I am aware that it is considered fashionable for boys of your age to wear their trousers so loosely that they appear to be falling off their hips. Please don't take this as an insult, but you and all of your friends are complete idiots. Still, I want to be fair and open minded about this issue, so I propose this compromise: You may come to the door with your underwear showing and your pants ten sizes to big, and I will not object. However, in order to ensure that your clothes do not, in fact come off during the course of you date with my daughter, I will take my electric nail gun and fasten your trousers securely in place to your waist.

Rule Four:
I'm sure you've been told that in today's world, sex without utilizing a "Barrier method" of some kind can kill you. Let me elaborate, when it comes to sex, I am the barrier, and I will kill you.

Rule Five:
It is usually understood that in order for us to get to know each other, we should talk about sports, politics, and other issues of the day. Please do not do this. The only information I require from you is an indication of when you expect to have my daughter safely back at my house, and the only word I need from you on this subject is: "early"

Rule Six:
I have no doubt you are a popular fellow, with many opportunities to date other girls. This is fine with me as long as it is okay with my daughter. Otherwise, once you have gone out with my little girl, you will continue to date no one but her until she is finished with you. If you make her cry, I will make you cry.

Rule Seven:
As you stand in my front hallway, waiting for my daughter to appear, and more than an hour goes by, do not sigh and fidget. If you want to be on time for the movie, you should not be dating. My daughter is putting on her makeup, a process than can take longer than painting the Golden Gate Bridge. Instead of just standing there, why don't you do something useful, like changing the oil in my car?

Rule Eight:
The following places are not appropriate for a date with my daughter: Places where there are beds, sofas, or anything softer than a wooden stool. Places where there is darkness. Places where there is dancing, holding hands, or happiness. Places where the ambient temperature is warm enough to introduce my daughter to wear shorts, tank tops, midriff T-shirts, or anything other than overalls, a sweater, and a goose down parka -- zipped up to her throat. Movies with a strong romantic or sexual theme are to be avoided; movies which features chain saws are okay. Hockey games are okay. Old folks homes are better.

Rule Nine:
Do not lie to me. I may appear to be a potbellied, balding, middle-aged, dimwitted has-been. But on issues relating to my daughter, I am the all-knowing, merciless God of your universe. If I ask you where you are going and with whom, you have one chance to tell me the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. I have a shotgun. a shovel, and five acres behind the house. Do not trifle with me.

Rule Ten:
Be afraid. Be very afraid. It takes very little for me to mistake the sound of your car in the driveway for a chopper coming in over a rice paddy near Hanoi. When my Agent Orange starts acting up, the voices in my head frequently tell me to clean the guns as I wait for you to bring my daughter home. As soon as you pull into the driveways you should exit the car with both hands in plain sight. Speak the perimeter password, announce in a clear voice that you have brought my daughter home safely and early, then return to your car -- there is no need for you to come inside. The camouflaged face at the window is mine.

That was excellent!

Is this from 8 Rules for Dating My Teenage Daughter? It seems familiar. I like #4.

[Betarulz!]

Thank god I'm not in High School any more and don't have to deal with such matters. However the guy needs to chill the F*** out regardless.

I have gotten lucky so far . . parents always liked me . . .

Hee hee! Hubby always kids that if we have a daughter, he's going to have his shotgun and replica swords prominently displayed over main doorways to drive the fear of God into the boy. I was lucky, I didn't date much in hs (becuase in a town of 4000 there's not too much to pick from!)

[CatStarESP4]

That is cute and hilarious!

[TigerLilly]

Hehehe...but that dude obviously doesn't know much about hockey games...

That's for sure.....

As an older brother, me and my 3 other brothers never had to outright "threaten" anyone my sister anted to go out with.... we felt the fact that 4 guys all weighing more than 200lbs and all over 6ft was intimidating enough

[MTSUGURL]

They come in terrified of my dad and leave terrified of my mom...

#10 is my fave.

[sigtau305]

# 3 is good.

My dad used to joke that when I started dating, he would be sure to be cleaning his guns when I brought any guys home. He never did it, thankfully, but just about every guy I've dated that has met my dad loves him- he's a huge joker and a great man. But if any guy ever hurt me, my dad has definitely agreed with number 6... still ok in daddy's eyes for me to date more than one boy though. I love daddy.
