I didn't date much as a teen or young adult. My sister tended to only date losers. So, when I brought a good one home to meet mom, she spent the entire time trying to get him to dump me and start dating my sister. It didn't work though and I ended up marrying him and my sister ended up with a loser as a husband.

Congrats to your daughter on finding a good one.

See, and I think that's important; if your sis had dated a 'better' guy, then she'd know, first hand, what that's like; good attitude, responsible, a kid who sees and partakes in a world beyond their immediate grasp and the end of their nose. If all she ever dated were disaffected, bad attitude, oddballs, etc, then that becomes the way it's supposed to be even though they're never satisfied with those types. Somethings always missing. But it's the norm.

I've always tried to be cordial to her beau's, engage them in conversation, and nothing ever much came from it; they were dorks. Girl has been excited for me to meet him, so, she still cares what I think, and she was delighted when he and I were engaged in conversation and how he responded to my typical daddy belligerence.

So, like I say, I can die happy. She'll at least had the beginnings of a relationship with a 'better' young man. Now, she KNOWS. Good for the self esteem. Good for the world view.

I think my sister realized that my husband was a good catch once she met him. For about a month after we got married, she'd call and say that it would never last and I only got married to spite her. She also had a problem with the fact that this guy was my first "real" boyfriend and I ended up marrying him (within 3 months of meeting him). She was with a guy at the time who was still married to his wife and had been dating my sister for years without any intention of getting divorced from his wife. This is the guy she ended up marrying, btw. The wife ended up filing for divorce.

Anyone else feel like going out and drowning loneliness after reading this thread?

No seriously, I'm happy for her. I really, really hope it works out, because I've thought that I've had that guy before, and then *poof*

He played tabletop rpgs anyways, no big loss.

Pooh. She's only 19 years old and just started seeing this guy, so they could be over with by the time I'm finished typing this post. And frankly, he could be anything - just because he gives good face and makes lasagna doesn't mean he's a good guy.

But hopefully is IS a good guy, because even if it doesn't last she's seen that she can attract a decent beau. Unlike those stupid ####birds she's *been* dating, that should've been drowned at birth.

You know this sounds oddly familiar. My daughter brought a kid home last week that made us lasagna, but it was just veggie. Do you happen to live in the Hollywood/California/Great mills/Lex Park area?

I was trying to leave that alone...

Larry, find something about this guy to disapprove of. It obviously won't be the cooking, but find something, and quick. A little reverse psychology to help her think that this guy is fun to have around.

What? Is that some new sexual term you kids have come up with? Because to me, it means a person who makes a good surface impression.
