Ok, I’m clearly way out of the loop here. It’s great that other guys enjoy talking with the girl’s parents before going out with their daughter, or getting a farher, but I don’t think I’d be comfortable with any of that. Not that I would walk out of the house if it happened to me. I’d politely answer any questions. But I’ve never had to do that in the past. I’m totally curious, though: Why does the father, or either of the parents of the girl, need to get “a feel” for him before he takes out their daughter for the first time? Especially assuming they know he’s not a total misfit since they probably did plenty of research on him, anyway.
