Adult daughter meeting my new fella today, what could possibly go wrong?

I'll let you know how it goes, in the meantime let me have your horror stories!

dunno but if you have a good relationship with your daughter and she doesn't like him, trust her

Luckily I was actually with my adult dd when I met dh at a bar.. She declared he wasn't a weirdo and went home and left us alone!!

She's decided she doesn't like him already! Hopefully meeting him will change that..

Love this 😁

Perhaps your daughter has good reasons as to why she doesn't like him. Maybe she sees red flags you're ignoring.

As my dad was fond of declaring if me and my siblings brought anyone home to meet him - she needs to remember she's part of the welcoming committee, not the selection panel.

Can't think what they might be but ok...

I like this 🙂

Remember new bf =dm having lots of sex!
However old a dc is they don't want to consider that!!

Is he nice? Why doesn’t your DD like the sound of him?

I can tell you now that it will not.

How old is she ?

If you and your adult daughter can’t sit down and have an honest conversation about why she might not like the sound of your new partner than you have a relationship issue there and I’d be focusing on fixing that ASAP before any new interest was introduced

God bless Mumsnetters ability to piss on anyone's chips 🤣
All went well, she said he's punching above his weight but if he makes me happy then she's happy for me to keep seeing him, which I take as a compliment and her blessing.
She didn't like him because she's fiercely protective of her old mum and she hadn't met him so assumed the worst.
Now she's met him she likes him. Sorted!
