Do your Parents "approve" of your Dating Life?

[pervertedjester]

Yes

No

I don't care if they do or not.

[Cynicaldreamer]

You mean my lack of dating life? Then yeah...
It's funny, years ago, my mom used to fuss about me not finding anyone, not getting married, or having kids. Yet she didn't want me dressing in sexy clothes (not revealing, just cute, feminine clothes), hanging out or dating guys when I was in school... like mom, do you want me find a guy or not? LOL

Long story short, she backed off completely after I finished college and got situated in my job. Mind you, she still inspects any guy in my life: friend or more, I guess to see what their intentions are.
But I guess she realized I'm not going to find anyone for whatever reason, decided not to stress over it. Growing up, my mom always told me how she messed up her life due to previous men chasing after her, having kids too young, putting others ahead of herself and her goals in life... so in a way, she's happy I'm not dealing with a guy distracting me from my goals in life.
My dad is... indifferent either way. He doesn't care if I'm single or taken; he lets my mom handle any guy and dating drama (or lack of in this case).

My mom won’t let me date because she hates me and wants me depressed and miserable and she also tried to kill me a few times by poison or denying me medical treatment when I had diseases as a child but she is dying of brain cancer right now so soon I will be allowed to date. I describe this as casually as you would describe a cheeseburger at a restaurant cause I have no emotional attachment to her other than annoyance and hate.

I answered yes, because my family is excruciatingly feminist... think "white mans laws oppressing me" feminist. They approve because i've never been a casual dater. Hookups and shallow relationships have never appealed to me, so i tend to be in committed relationships for years at a time. If they knew of my sexual proclivities, they probably wouldn't approve. From the outside a TPE D/s relationship appears abusive and controlling

I think my mother has just finally given up.😂 She insisted (to friends and family) for most of my life that I just hadn't found the "right woman". I think she realizing now that if I haven't found that woman by my late 40's I'm probably not going to.😂

So approve? I dunno. I don't remember her being critical of any woman I was dating while I was dating them. Maybe afterwards.

[adolescentswede]

My parents never gave sufficient guidance for me so i would not know if they approve or disaprove.

They are definitely curious though om the rare occasion i actually flirt and discuss anything remotely close to dating.

[rachel776]

they don't really get involved, they just figured out sometime between age 13 and now i had sex

[molonski2]

They never really did , and I never really listened , maybe I should have , these days I dont think an opinion would be presented either way.

[Daniela1982]

They have never had to tell me I was dating a loser as I'm sure I would know that.

[Anonymous]

No.

She wants me to marry asap to some (white) Christian guy and have kids.

But I'm not planning to have kids and my boyfriend is Indian and (not Christian).

The horror

[TheSpaceGnome]

My parents have never been involved with my love life. If they had been, I'd not care about their opinions.

[NathanDavis]

they don't disapprove...

not their place to do either though

[Dinklex3]

As much as they would like to be involved, I don’t tell them anything 🤷🏾‍♀️

[DancingQueen16]

Yeah my mom has met my boyfriend like 3 times and she sees that he's a great person

[jeffend888]

They better approve. If your family doesn't like your spouse, then it's going to be the nightmare from hell in perpetuity.

[Alexz0]

They're liberal and swingers. So I've never had the judgement or resistance to bringing boys and guys home. Fortunately.

[serious]

I never had a dating life in the first place so there is no question of approval.

[Spongebobssocks]

I dont have one so "no" they dont approve they want me to find someone😂😭

[jahaims]

Why would my parents be involved in my dating life?

[Grovermint]

I'm single as fuck. Mom used to bug me all the time about grandkids until my sister had a kid. My dad didn't care.

[sheikalana]

They don't have a say I'm a grown woman.

[Unit1]

They know nothing of it.

[rosemilk]

i don't care what they approve of lol

[Anonymous]

Do u think if women cared, 40% of women would have had an abortion, 90% would be on birth control, and 90% of marriages end up unsatisfied or as divorces

[Ms_Facesitter]

I don't care, but they do.

[ThatRandomOne]

it wouldn't really matter.

[Juxtapose]

I'm too old to even remotely care lol.

[electromagnetic]

Approved.

[LiamJHayden]

They did.

[Jmmmfi4]

I don't have one
