No, but if you wanted to test him, you could tell the guy to call your dad and ask.

Heh, what I think would be appropriate would be the guy asking you if he could ask your father to court you. It's your life, not your dad's. But asking the dad shows some respect. And that his intentions are honorable.

aye, and it introduces him to who he will have to answer to if is intentions are not so honorable >;)

I admit I would find that flattering and romantic, but I'm not sure I'd absolutely expect it.

I think guys should at least feel they should discuss MARRIAGE with the father, even if the girl doesn't live at home. Yes, it's mostly just a token of respect...but it's nice just the same.
