re: #159 HappyWarrior

I’m not the best at the dating game I concede but I usually use the first date to find out about what kind of music, movies, entertainment, etc we like, some small bits about family: siblings, parents, nieces/nephews, places we’ve traveled to, etc. I don’t know. I don’t think it’s right to ask someone you just met about their relationship with their parents. That’s something I understand you do as the relationship gets more intimate. That he singled out father was telling to me.

He’s looking for a particular kind of woman, fitting some ideal roles he carries in his head. It’s the same motivation for some Western guys who hook up with Asian women, expecting them to be meek and submissive. Hint: they ain’t, especially after you’re married and they take control of the family finances.

Maybe I’m weird, but I don’t want the first date to be a job interview.
