Were you ever talked to about dating by your parents?

Yes, and no. If it matters, my mother means the world to me and means well, but what she would ask for me to look for I don't think she can find herself, and she's become quieter in recent years, and I don't think it's from my father passing, but more seeing again just how it can be to meet people. I think most people find it hard to meet people, though it comes to some more naturally; but really they are the exception, not you!

“Don’t settle.”— my dad

My Da told me (of course he didn’t know I was gay at the time) that guys have a hunter mentality and want what they want, but a good guy will ask you what you want, care… and try his best to give you that. Find a guy like that, he said.

Never. My dad never mentioned it and all my mom did was criticize any boy I liked. I quickly learned to keep quiet about dating around my parents.

Actually my dad was kind of in denial that I am a sexual being and my mom was always being overly nosy in my love life no matter what my age. They seemed to have been trying to stop me from having a girlfriend as long as I remember. Then suddenly I was an adult and they wonder why I dont have any grandkids for them.

My parents told me that they wished I was the one that died not my sister

Nope..I guess they thought I'd pick it up on my own...which I did

I had to figure it out the hard way like most other things. But it made me stronger and it got easier as I got older.

Nope, that stuff and pretty much everything else emotional except anger were not offered by my parents.

Not at all. When I was in high school my mother told me not to waste my time on girls and concentrate on my studies. Needless to say that only encouraged me to gi out on dates even more

Never had any conversations. On any topic regarding that really.

my parents didn't care and I've already told them when i was younger to not expect grandkids from me nor them walking me down the aisle

The only thing my father ever told me was to keep my pecker in my pants. 🤭

It mostly consisted of my mom criticising my relationships, apart from one that she adored. We also never had the sex talk. It's strange because she would gladly talk about her sexual escapades, but whenever I mentioned anything about sex, she would dismiss the conversation.

Do you want to talk about it? 🙂

Yeah

Nope ! To busy catching trouble for being bad

Nothing about dating, other than to treat my date with respect and keep her safe. They gave me a book that explained the sex stuff.

Nope, not a word about anything girl/guy related or anything that had to do with relationships, sex, etc.

No, other than my father telling me to stop dating girls outside our religion, and when I went to live in Africa for a few years, that I’d better not come back with anyone from there. Otherwise, he tried to set me up with a girl whose family was loaded. So, basically useless.

I never gave dating advice to my son as he considers himself an expert.

My moms told me I needed to put out more,,,,but she didn't care I was like 13 hanging out with 20+ year olds. She halfway apologized about this recently it just came a little too late.

Barely got the sex talk

When I was little my dad told me that when I got older girls would be so crazy about me that I’d have to beat them off with a stick because I was so polite. I’m now 35 and still never had a girlfriend before.

Nothing at all, but then I dont think she understood the rules of dating either.
She married my father because my grandmother wanted her out of the house and my dad needed to get married so that the family of teh woman he thought he got pregnant wouldn’t come after him.
After dad she married some guy who her friends liked and she hated.

We cant always depend on our parents. They are just as fucked up as we are.

Ha, not much except save yourself for marriage!

I never got any talks about anything. Lol I had to literally read the dictionary to find information. Good thing I liked useless information.

My mom has such a negative view of some Latin American ethnicities. She like don't date venezuelan women, they are cheap whores. Also stay away from Colombians they are all coke heads.

My dad didn't give f*ck. As long as I wasn't bring pregnant women home or gay.
