Ladies : What if He's Living with Dad?

[Blue Eyed Brain]

Sumdude - It's admirable for you to take care of your dad. It's your obligation but it's really your heart that is working overtime. Major kudos....

 

When it comes to dating regarding this subject, it's going to be how you deliver it.

 

Some women will not hear how you can take care of yourself and choose to be with him. They may only hear, "I live with my dad." And come to there own conclusions - that's one way to weed out the shallows and gold diggers......

 

As for me, when I first read your post, I thought, "Gee, I hope I don't find an extra set of teeth in the bed."

 

Find someone with a big heart (like yours) and a sense of humor - that's the key!

 

Post us your findings.....

I think most older women (past their 20s) will appreciate the reasons for your living arrangements.

 

Also, I believe it would help you when you first meet someone that instead of saying you live with your dad, you said your dad lives with you. Its slightly deceitful, but it leads a person to a different conclusion based on how you say it. If you have the time to expound on the living arrangements then by all means tell the truth about the situation. But for those instances where you have a limited amount of time to make an impression, and you feel the need to let that one out of the bag, then at least give yourself a fighting chance in the matter.

 

In defense of the women who jump to conculsions about you living with dear old dad though... I don't know a single guy who lives with his parents with the intent of taking care of them. I know a heck of a lot of guys who mooch off their parents, but none that give back to them. So give a girl a fighting chance to get to know you first before throwing your living situation out there.

 

I have so much respect for you, for wanting to take care of your dad. If you feel you need to make this move, then do it.
