Is it normal for my parents to ask me who I’ll be dating?

I’m 25 years old, still living with my parents and tomorrow I have a date with an older man that I’ve known online for three years. I’ve only mentioned him a few times to my parents but not his real age. But now my parents want me to show a picture of him and I’m afraid they might refrain me from dating him if I show them.

According to your age, you should be able to date who ever you want, but you are still living in your parents house, so you are obligated to their rules. You want complete freedom from your parents, you need to start to support yourself and then you can do what ever you want without any permission.
