To which the best reply is "Then I guess I'd better start having sex with her now, sir."
No... I wish he did. She went off to Colorado for college.. and made a life for herself there. The woman he did marry... well, let’s just say the better one got away (not being mean.. just honest). :)
You must have had a lot of one dates.
I like the line in Clueless: “I got a gun and a shovel. I doubt you will be missed.”

this story is so hopelessly hopeless unhappy and stupid — it grieves me to have read it.
Every time that story comes to your head — you need to thank the Lord for every small mercy and grace he has shown you this side of the veil—and beg the living God that he will make his face to shine on you till your toes turn hot—and you have to smile back on your maker.

Probably.
I thought we were talking about teenagers dating. Thumbing your nose at a girl’s father is a sure-fire way to earn his distrust of you. It is called respect, and it sounds like you were one of those guys my Dad wanted me to steer clear of, with good reason.
I’m also guessing you don’t have any daughters of your own.

I’m going to pull him in tight next to me so only he and I can hear the conversation. And I’m gonna say to him, “Boy, look at me. You see that little girl right there? She’s my only little girl, man. She’s my life. So if you have any . . . thoughts . . . about huggin’, or . . . kissin’, you remember these words:
‘I’ve got no problem going back to prison.’”

And while I don't have a daughter, the advent of younger sister while I was in my teens whose activities I frequently felt obliged to chaperone as she got older caused me to see the other side of coin more than I would have cared to. Karma has a way of paying people back, I guess.
Sam: Well, to come straight to the point of the matter, Sir, I want to ask for your daughters hand.
Mr. A.: You mean you want to marry her, Sam?
Sam: Yes, Sir.
Mr. A.: Why do you want to marry her?
Sam: Well, I love her, Mr. Anderson.
Mr. A.: Thats not good enough, Sam.
Sam: I beg your pardon?
Mr. A.: Do you like her?
Sam: Well, I just said I
Mr. A.: No, no, you said you loved her. Theres some difference between lovin and likin. When I married Jennys mother I didnt love her, I liked her. I liked her a whole lot. I liked Martha for at least 3 years after we were married, and then one day it just dawned on me I loved her. I still do I still do. You see Sam, when you love a woman without likin her the night can be long and cold and contempt comes up with the sun, and Do you understand all this Im tellin ya?
Sam: Yes, Sir.
Mr. A.: Well?
Sam: Oh, well, I like Jenny, Sir. Ive always liked her.
Mr. A.: Then you be good to her, because if you dont, its between you and me, boy.
Sam: Thank you, Sir. Thank you, Sir!

As a real life story it seems to serve as a cautionary tale for the Halloween season illustrating the age old wisdom, “Be careful what you wish for, you may actually get it and more.”
