i never understood why this happens. perhaps cuz i haven't personally experienced it but they're just people. people who care deeply about the person you care deeply about. so what's the big deal?
In the event that they end up hating you and not letting you go out with their child..it could be a bit problematic.
I don't see why this would be a problem for a girl, since if a guy likes you he's not going to be dissuaded by his parents. For a guy on the other hand...
Not completely dissuaded but they can make things complicated for both people involved. I don't know why you think a girl should listen to her parents about this when a guy isn't expect to?
It's not that I think a girl should listen to her parents more than a guy. It's that I would be very frightened of dealing with some girls' fathers.
My dad is pretty cool..I have always been terrified of my boyfriends dad on the other hand even though he's nice to me.
i think those were the dads that misused girls growing up or have seen it. and if they weren't in the truth, theres no telling how many insane ways they disrespected and hurt girls or what they've seen their freinds or perhaps even family doing. they know what goes on and what can happen. and inexperience in relationships can gradually thrust a young lady into misconduct and that can spiritually wreck her. dads do not want that.
