The dad literally said “no objections”. Sounds like he’s trying to control his child. Even if the kid can say no, the dad is still being an asshole.

The “no objections” line was a bit much. Regardless of what someone thinks is best for them, no one should try to force a date on their child.
First of all, this was a long time ago and I’m now happily married. Second of all, it’s okay for people to not couple up.
I think a lot of people here are missing the point. It’s not whether the child of this guy can go on the date or not. It’s that the father is being an asshole. My mom would do this shit to me all the time. I never went on any of the dates but it was still annoying as hell.
Probably doesn’t need to with all the hotties after him

When friends suggest a book to me, sometimes I can’t remember if I’ve read it or not. Then I go on goodreads, search the book, see if I’ve read it, check the notes I put in, and then I can either add it to my list to read or have a conversation about it (assuming my notes jog my memory)

There’s another snide line. Even if we only have a couple texts to go off of, that kind of dialogue is rarely effective and usually comes from shit people
