667 replies

Ionlydrinkondaysendinginy · 28/04/2023 11:55

Iv been friends with this friend for ever and her dad has always been there for me and has messaged me a few times over the years but it's just been jokey flirty stuff nothing much of anything and he messaged me this morning to go round for a few drinks tonight. I want to go but I don't know how my friend will react.
Yanbu. Do what you want its nobody's business
Yabu. You don't cross that line with a friends dad

Nope. All the nopes. I am judging him very harshly right now.

mexicanandafewdrinks · 28/04/2023 11:56

do you find him attractive?
you seem to have the impression that something will happen between the two of you.

DorisParchment · 28/04/2023 11:57

Yuck.

So what’s the age difference?
TBH I’m struggling to think of extenuating circumstances to make this ok.

HowDoYouDoWhatYouDoToMeIWishIKnew · 28/04/2023 11:59

Have you been friends with this friend since you were a child?

The dad is a creep, and you're not much better for wanting to shag your mates dad tbh.

Qbish · 28/04/2023 11:59

Depends what's more important to you - your friendship, or a potential relationship with him?

Because you can't have both, I reckon.

then go! you've been after him for years why decline something you want. your friend doesn't need to know if its just a one off casual thing x

I had a thing with a friend's dad when I was in my early 20s it was great fun while it lasted.

ComtesseDeSpair · 28/04/2023 11:59

Ask your friend how she’d feel about you bonking her dad. If she’s fine with it, go, have fun.

I’ll bet you anything that she won’t be with it and you’ll lose her friendship if you go ahead anyway.

Dogscanteatonions · 28/04/2023 11:59

Ask yourself this question - are you prepared to lose your friend forever because this might very well happen. Is it worth it?

For what It's worth I think her dad is behaving very badly.

happyclam · 28/04/2023 11:59

How old were you when you met him and how old are you both now?

Pootles34 · 28/04/2023 11:59

You don't see him trying to get his end away despite risking his relationship with his daughter to be yucky?

FuckoffeeBeforeCoffee · 28/04/2023 12:00

Don't got one second believe this.

Curseofthenation · 28/04/2023 12:00

He sounds like a creep. You sound like you've got daddy issues...

I would be weirded out if I was your friend and I found out.

mexicanandafewdrinks · 28/04/2023 12:00

mexicanandafewdrinks · 28/04/2023 12:01

It's not normal to shag your friends dad.

It's definitely not normal to shag someone the same age as your kid either.

Crush away, but don't act on it 🤢

MissHavishamsMouldyOldCake · 28/04/2023 12:03

when you say you've known your friend and her dad forever, do you mean since you were a kid?

Ionlydrinkondaysendinginy · 28/04/2023 12:03

happyclam · 28/04/2023 11:59

How old were you when you met him and how old are you both now?

I'm 26 he's 45. He's known me since I met my friend when we where in secondary school but it was nothing weird back then

KimberleyClark · 28/04/2023 12:04

How old is he, what is the age gap, has he known you since you were a child?

YukoandHiro · 28/04/2023 12:04

Eurgh. Did he know you as a child?

If you value this friendship at all don't go. It won't survive it.
