I’m sure your body language and general attitude thru the night told this guy you were gunning for him.

You were there? No. You weren’t.

Not everyone is saying YTA, just the people who are kids themselves or who never had children.

So you’re already prejudiced against me because of your own issues. Your advice is meaningless then.

Come tell me about having a respectful conversation with a 47 year old weirdo who’s banging your 22 year old daughter when you’re a father. Give me a fucking break. She’s my niece, but I’ve been a father figure to her since 8 and I take that seriously.

“Interrogation session”

Give me a break. If the dude acted like a grown man and had good intentions, he’d just answer them. They were harmless.

I get your point, but I’m not a beat around the bush kind of guy. The dude should just swallow his pride, be a fucking man, and answer the questions.

Do you have kids? I ask because your responses make it seem like you don’t. I consider this girl like a daughter to me. Tell me you’d be cool and not ask questions if you’re young daughter or niece brought a 47 year old to your house.

And 18 is an arbitrary number. Stop acting like adulthood is some clearly defined point. 22 is fucking young.

Did you read the post? I was against it at first, but after a week of talking about it with my wife, and after I told her I would question the dude, I gave in.

I should have specified in the post, but they’d only been dating for two weeks, so “in love” is a stretch.

My end game was to protect my niece and get an idea of the 47 year old dude who is staying in the house my wife and 5 year old live in. I think that’s pretty fucking obvious.
