My dad: "Got a boyfriend yet then love?"
Me: "No Dad, still single"
Dad: "Ah, it would be nice to see you with someone. Have you thought about joining Grindr?"
Me: "You do realise that is a hookup app for gay men, Dad?"
Dad: "Ah. Maybe not then"

My DF used to roll his eyes about my cousin's useless husband. 'What do you expect when you get someone off eBay?'

She met him on Match.com.

WhoWouldHaveThoughtThat · 01/09/2020 19:52

At least he didn't say "well, it worked for me"

Got to love an elderly parent that asks completely inappropriate it innocent questions. My favourite - do lesbians eat chocolate? He's deaf and so it was at full volume in a shop (anyone that knows me in RL now knows my username here as I dine out on this constantly).

My mum, on holiday with us in a remote part of the Scottish Highlands, shrilly exclaiming, "Ooh they're Germans!" when she overheard some locals speaking Gaelic.

Not so much of a dinosaur if he's heard of grindr, even if he did get it a bit wrong.

Love the idea of being able to get a man off ebay though Grin
