Any other Daddy's take their daughters on dates?

That is so sweet of you to do!! I take my son (6yrs old) out on dates, he calls himself "mama's hot date"! But now my daughters 4 and 2 ask when they get to go on a "hot date" with me, I tell them we will soon, but they should really ask their daddy!

My hubby doesn't even do that for me!!!....you deserve Man of the Year!!!

You are amazing, and you are showing your daughter exactly what she deserves from a man when she is older, and she will not accept anything less. Love it! :flowerforyou:

Yes! Making me think of how uninvolved my Dad suddenly became (even though he was still living at home with my mom and brother and I) ! It sucked. I hope my husband does this with our girls forever!

P.S. She’s never allowed to have a boyfriend….maybe when she’s 37. :bigsmile:

LOL, I tell my daughters they can have boyfriends when they finish medical school

I know they will have a boyfriend one day, I just don't want to think about my little girls growing up.

Here...these should help with the whole dating scene, LOL

10 Simple Rules for Dating My Daughter:

Rule One: If you pull into the driveway and honk you'd better be delivering a package, because you're sure not picking anything up.

Rule Two: You do not touch my daughter in front of me. You may glance at her, so long as you do not peer at anything below her neck. If you cannot keep your eyes or hands off my daughter's body, I will remove them.

Rule Three: I am aware that it is considered fashionable for boys of your age to wear their trousers so loosely that they appear to be falling off their hips. Please don't take this as an insult, but you and all of your friends are complete idiots. Still, I want to be fair and open minded about this issue, so I propose a compromise. You may come to the door with your underwear showing and your pants ten sizes too big, and I will not object. However, in order to ensure that your clothes do not, if fact, come off during the course of your date with my daughter, I will take an electric nail gun and fasten your trousers securely in place to your waist.

Rule Four: I’m sure you've been told that in today's world, sex without utilizing a "barrier method" of some kind can kill you. Let me elaborate. When it comes to sex, I am the barrier, and I will kill you.

Rule Five: It is usually understood that in order for us to get to know each other, we should talk about sports, politics, and other issues of the day. Please do not do this. The only information I require from you is an indication of when you expect to have my daughter safely back at this house, and the only word I need to hear from you on this subject is "early."

Rule Six: I have no doubt you are a popular fellow, with many opportunities to date other girls. This is fine with me as long as it is okay with my daughter. Otherwise, once you have gone out with my little girl, you will continue to date no one but her until she is finished with you. If you make her cry, I will make you cry.

Rule Seven: As you stand in my front hallway, waiting for my daughter to appear and more than an hour goes by, do not sigh and fidget. If you want to be on time for the movie, you should not be dating. My daughter is putting on her makeup, a process than can take longer than painting the Golden Gate Bridge. Instead of standing there, why don't you do something useful, like changing the oil in my truck?

Rule Eight: The following places are not appropriate for a date with my daughter:




Places there are beds, sofas, or anything softer than a wooden stool.

Places there are no parents, policemen, or nuns within eyesight.

Places where there is darkness, dancing, holding hands, or happiness.


Places where the ambient temperature is warm enough to induce my daughter to wear shorts, tank tops, midriff T-shirts, or anything other than overalls, a sweater, and a goose down parka - zipped up to her throat.

Movies with strong romantic or sexual themes are to be avoided. Movies that
feature parents with chain saws are okay. Hockey games are okay. Retirement homes are better.

Rule Nine: Do not lie to me. I may appear to be pot-bellied, wrinkled up, middle-aged, dim-witted, has-been, but on issues relating to my daughter, I am the all-knowing, merciless GOD of your universe. If I ask you where you are going and with whom, you have one chance to tell me the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. I have a Kimber Ultra CDP II .45ACP, a shovel, and twenty-five acres behind the house. Do not trifle with me, Scooter.

Rule Ten: Be afraid. Be very afraid. It takes very little for me to mistake the sound of your car in the driveway for a chopper coming over a rice paddy near Hanoi. When my Agent Orange starts acting up, the voices in my head frequently tell me to clean the guns as I wait for you to bring my daughter home. As soon as you pull into the driveway you should exit your car with both hands in plain sight, speak the perimeter password, announce in a clear voice that you have brought my daughter home safely and early, then return to your car - there is no need for you to come inside. The camouflaged face at the window is mine.

My daughter is 7 years old and I like to take her on dates whenever we can find the time. It's not nearly often enough but we both love it whenever we do:) Sometimes she picks the place and what we will do and sometimes I do. Sometimes we both get a little dressed up but I always open all the doors for her, hold her hand, and treat her like a queen:) When we get to where we are going we sit down and I ask her why we are here, she answers because you love me:) I say that's right! Until you find a man that treats you better than me..........it will always be you and me.

Are there any other Daddy's that do similar things with their daughters? What about Mommy's taking their boys on dates? I would love to here any new ideas that I can use with my kids.

OMG...you just made my ovaries do back flips. Just sayin~ :flowerforyou:

Worked wonderfully with my daughter.....not so well with my son :-( His mom gave him to me when he was 8 (5 months after our divorce) because she needed her freedom. He is now 16......father & son time only really happens when he wants it to happen - movie or concert. Needless to say we have seen a bunch of concerts Next show is ZZ & Lynyrd Skynyrd in Sep :-)

We need more daddy's like this in the world! What great example and standard you're setting for your little girl!

My daddy took me on dates. He even arranged a date for me for one of my first formal school dances so that I could go. My avatar is me and my dad for his last picture after he got ill. He was the one that gave me a love for family and friends and most of all integrity.

Kids come and go through their life stages and I was no different. But stay who you are and you will have an awesome relationship with them. My daddy was always there to catch me if I REALLY needed it. And in the end, I was there to catch my daddy when he needed it.

All of our cards we sent or gave to each other were addressed: To My Dearest Darling Daughter From: Your Dearest Darling Daddy or vice versa. It was that way for as long as I can remember.

There are not enough special daddies out there for our girls. Thank you for reminding me that there are actually some out there.

Awww your dad looked so fun! I love his expression!

He seemed great, I hope my dad lives very long too!

My dad used to do that when I was little, such great memories!

oooh, I cringe when my kids called me mommy after 5!!

dads are important to little girls! (and big girls)
