“Do have your own money?”
“Do you own your own home?”
“How old are you?”
“Have you ever been married?”
“Do you have any children?”
“Don’t tell me, you have a criminal record? You don’t do you?”
“You’re not a pervert then are you?”
I would imagine that every married man reading this has been subjected to questions of this nature by their prospective father-in-law at some point in their relationship, probably before the actual marriage took place. Unless you are retarded, you’re not going to admit to being a pervert at this point, so it all seems fairly straight forward on the surface. Of course, admitting to being a pervert after you’ve married his daughter would make Christmas visits with the in-laws much more interesting. In fact, you probably wouldn’t even have to admit it, you could simply wear a gimp mask whilst carving the turkey, and let him join up the dots by himself.
The point being, that fathers want the best for their little-girls, and they obviously want to ensure they’re not giving her away to some freakish sexual deviant, destitute philanderer, or James Blunt fan. I do not mind this, as it shows they care about who their daughter will end up with, and a loving family background is important when looking for a long-term girlfriend. On my list it is right up there with being smoking hot and having big boobs.
However, I do mind when these questions are asked by a concerned father after you’ve danced with his daughter for all of five minutes. Even if she was a bridesmaid. And it was her brothers wedding we were attending.
I have never run so fast in my entire life.

For a minute there i thought you were engaged, would explain the lividness at least.
Although in fairness you may be ok with the gimp mask when carving the turkey, some older people do actually like James Blunt.
Me? Engaged? I don’t think so…
you only wanted to bone the f’ing bitch, what was his problem?
Aw, thanks, Dr Clip…I just had breakfast as well…
Al.
My in-law didnt ask those questions. He was ecstatic I took his nagging daughter out of his home. In fact, he would have paid me.
Don’t get hitched, it aint worth it.
wow, you seriously hate James Blunt.
Dr Clip – there are ladies present! I was merely engaging in some stimulating conversation, and having a little boogie.
Badger – At 1:12pm? Are you a student?
RD – For the sake of clarity, I AM NOT GETTING MARRIED. I can almost hear the sigh of relief from the female half of the population. Do not fret ladies, the dream is still alive.
Banana – and you’re only just realising this?…
FD – If youre having trouble reading the blog coz its too small try holding down control and moving the scroll wheel up and down on your mouse a few times.

Oi Oli! Enough of that cheek.
And stop bashing James. The Bible says Love Thy Neighbour after all.
Angry – I just have what I refer to as a “Nightshift Bodyclock”
Sleep at 6, up at 12…

You could have missed out on ‘Living Happily Ever After’.
Ok – Calm down – just kidding,
Does James Blunt’s “You’re Beautiful” count as a criminal record?
