How do you ask your dad if your boyfriend can stay the night?

I am 22 and graduated college five days ago. I have been dating my boyfriend for almost two years and my family has met him plenty of times. We stay together every night at college and every night at his house because his parents really like me and treat me like part of the family. But I have a VERY strict father and I already know this will be a problem for him. I know that I am a grown woman but I don’t know how to go about the converstation to ask/tell my father about having my boyfriend stay the night. Can you give me some advice? Keep in mind that my father breathes fire and could kill a man with his cold stare…

Answer #1

maybe your dad don’t want that you make out with your boyfriend in his house ‘cause he don’t wanna realized that her little girl grew up !!!

Answer #2

Judging on how you describe your dad it may not be a good idea to ask him, but if you want to still ask, you should just come out and say it, the worst he’ll say is no

Answer #3

Well it sounds like a committed relationship so really the only problem your dad could have is that he might not want you two in the same bed in his house, thats a pretty common problem and he might take a lot of convincing Im guessing hes not very religious on this, if he is then you probably can’t convince him no matter what you say

Answer #4

Well… your dad sounds like he is a protective dad an does not want his little girl to grow up. But really You are an adult and you can do as you please, but I’m guessing you live whit your dad so he makes the rules I his house.

Tell just let him know that your boyfriend is going to spend the night over, I mean eventually he is going to have to accept it. I’m sure. And sience you guys have been toguther long enuff and it looks like you dad is ok whit the guy there should be no problem.

GOOD LUCK:)

Answer #5

uh.. if you want your dad to treat you like a grown up… why not get a job and move out? Seriously. If you are 22 and no longer in college why exactly are you still living with your parents? I bet once you have your own place and are paying your own bills if you and your boyfriend come over for a holiday he wont have any problem with it. But while you are still mooching off your parents, expect to keep getting treated like a child.
