so, basically, i'm having a wee bit of trouble introducing my boyfriend to one of my family members. you guessed it, my dad.
i'm assuming it'll be rather difficult due to the fact that, well, he (my boyfriend) lives 655 miles away, and long distance relationships can be hard to explain to past generations. i know from experience what older people say about them; that "they aren't real", "you don't know them", and the ol' "they could be a 40 year old pedophile!!!!1!!" (and, yes, i know he is a legit person that fits every description of who he says he is. that was the first thing i expected myself to find out before even thinking about dating him.) well, i had my share of trouble with introducing him to my mother, but she learned to adore him. my mom hasn't shared the information with my dad, and he, of course, is extremely protective over me. and from what my mom has told me, she knows he'll be extremely hard to please due to past experiences of his own.
now, my boyfriend has mailed out a huge package of goodies for my family to enjoy; chocolate and candy for me and my mom, a few toy cars for my brother, and some old baseball cards for my dad, who played baseball up into his teens. my boyfriend also wrote two letters, one for me, and one for my family, stating how he exists and that he loves me and all sappy stuff like that. my mom knows about this, and knows it should arrive today or monday, but my dad doesn't. to be frank, i'm kind of worried about the whole "hi, your daughter has a boyfriend living states away and she's just now telling you" ordeal, but hopefully a hand-written letter from the guy himself should help. does anyone have any experiences with introducing girlfriends/boyfriends to fathers, or have any advice for my situation? my dad, i expect, will be reluctant on the whole thing, but i'm hoping my mom will back me up. but if she doesn't do any of you lovely lads and ladies have any ideas that could possibly help?? thank you, if you do!! uwu
