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.

Yes, as a young, single female, there are all types of creeps looking to take advantage of you. It's always best that someone knows who you're with, esp males, and some females, at all times. That way, if things go south, you have help to get out of a potentially bad situation.
