Good morning my good friends of M2, it's a beautiful day in Philly with the sun out it gets me in a good mood. I want to apologize for the last topic, not the greatest so I'm going back to my roots in dating so here we are. My question today is, let me set my scene, have you ever married, dating, relationship, sexual relationship, same sex relationship or playing the field and in your eyes you so complacent in your dating life. Your friends don't really know what to make of your date, your BFF thinks you & your Beau are a cute couple, then there's the family. Your siblings love them , think you and the other a beautiful couple. Then its the Ben Stiller Effect....meeting the parents. You arranged a dinner to invite your special friend over to meet them. After minutes of the 3rd degree with questions your friend mentions about a sensitive topic of religion, politics, or some strange believes that rub your parents the wrong way. Now your parents don't like your other. What do you do? Do you rebel against your parents and continue to be with that person? or Are you a mommy & daddy pleaser and dump or divorce that one? So let's grab the crimpetts & Lemon tea and let's chat on this one!

EyeAYourHost39,

Throughout my 20's my mom never liked the girls i was dating except for 2 girls, "Renique" & " Sylvia" then later " Laressa". I always looked at it like my mom wanted me the best girls to treat me right and love me the way i should be loved. I got to admit i did dated a lot of bimbos, that's only for the fact i was extremely visual back then. When " Laressa " came about she adored her. Now i'm 40, would i datwe a woman my mom didn't like.......No, sorry im a mommy pleaser...lol.

Are you kidding?
I would have flaunted them twice as much :-)

(They were married 11 times between them...karma be a biotch :-)

Well in my opinion I would way out my emotions, feelings , and if the relationship is a solid sounds worth wide union. Love your family. Pick your relationships and peer groups. Life must be lived by each. Stand for something or someone. Or fall for anything! Athomas here!

I got married at 18 and could care less if anyone in my family agreed or not. ( and some didn't)

I was marrying her.. not them

I date who I choose to date.

Have always dated who I choose regardless who likes them or not.. I date those that appeal to me and how they treat me, not cause a family member does not like them..

And even when my own kids started dating regardless if I was impressed with who they dated which was only my son, for my daughter she married her first bf and love him to pieces.. I never got into their business who they dated that was their choice if it was wrong then they had to deal with it.. no one else...

As a parent you got to go for your child's happiness, not your own in this matter. And even if you see something you don't like, you shaddup about it and let your child learn his/her own lessons in life.
The fact that a parent doesn't agree doesn't make that person the wrong choice for her child.
Unless something is really really wrong, then a parent can point that out, address the issue, but that's about it.

Respect should go both ways, it's not a one-way street.

Being able to let go of their children is another thing a good parent can -and will- do. If you raised them well, you should trust in what you taught them, and let them make their own decisions in life.

It all depends on their reasoning for the need to brake up.

For example: if the reason is completely superficial like a clash in religious view, social class level, race, or appearance then I guess I am never going home for the holidays again. At least until they decide to pull their proverbial heads out of their posteriors.

If, however, they have proof that the person I am with is not who they say they are and said individual is unable to prove them wrong then I would probably brake it off.

This is of course all hypothetical because my family, after many years, have excepted that I'm going to be alone for the rest of my life.

My family isn't dating them so why would I care? Hell my mom married my jerk stepdad and I had only met him twice before the marriage. She married him. I didn't. I live my own life

Topic: " Would You Date Someone Your Parents Dislikes ?"

Do you mean that I shouldn't?

no worries both are deceased

Soulfiehere,


aawww.....now that's a messy situation......well, I'm a mommy's guy to extend. I mean I still a man of free will but it nice when mom likes the girls it make the relationship more blessed in my eyes.

Hi my new friend , welcome to my hot tea room, well I love how you broke it down. you 3000 percent right.it should be family first , then what's make you happy. But isn't it situations where you would have to go against the grain ?

Greeneyes148,

First thank you for coming by my cyber home and wow! a like when my opinion makers get passionate about what they want. So I see you in a same sex marriage. my views on that is you marry who make you happy if that woman make you happier than a man go for it......

its nice to hear sometimes if you go against the grain you find and obtain happiness without mom & dad blessings.

welcome to my home, okay a woman of few words but straight to the point!

TXGal3333,

welcome pretty lady well you are a lady of strong standards......

Yellowrose10,

First thing first let's not call your stepdad a jerk......he's not here to defend himself beside I advocate love and beautiful things. Secondly, it's nice to here that woman now a days are standing strong on what they want. Fellas we live in a new age now that woman continue to take charge of deciding who to be with. Some guys support that ideal, and then there's the others who still think its father job to steer his daughter who she should marry. Like in a lot of ancient cultures around the world that daddy chooses who you marry and why? American women aint having that Itsh/....lol

First of all...Thanks but....You don't know him. I do and call it like I see it. I speak my mind


2nd the only person (to me) that needs to like the guy is my son

TMommy,

oooohhh ...I guess that answered the question...
