Girls' BFF

My dad has only met my bf of 3 years once, when we started dating. Dad said, "He has the whole good boyfriend act down, but I would be insulted if he thought I bought it." At some point I'd like them to meet properly, but I'm really nervous that it'll go badly. How do I tactfully make sure everyone behaves themselves?

You've been waiting on them meeting again because you're nervous about how it's going to go...and you've been dating for three years?

Sheesh girl. Grow a pair. Here's the thing about adults. You can't make anybody do anything that they don't want to do. If your dad is going to act an ass, no amount of pleading is going to change that. If your boyfriend feels like he has something to prove, and in doing so plans on acting an ass, again, there's nothing you can do about it.

All you can really do is ask both of them to be respectful. Truth is, nothing has really happened to warrant the worry. At least not from what I'm reading. Your father said what father's say. We don't trust ANY man when it comes to our daughters. That's just how it works.

Chances are that you're worried over nothing. Who knows, your dad might actually warm up to him. Though I'd be like...you have been keeping him from me for three years, what gives? You've got to give them a chance. It will probably be fine.

Act an ass, again? I saw no indication that the poor guy acted an ass the first time...

You're misreading the syntax, I think. The word "again" applies to the repeated point that there's nothing the asker can do about it.

You're right.
