Dating a Paramedic's Daughter

[Bernhard]

The text is great! When I see other fathers level of care for their girls I'm always so glad to have a son.

But...maybe we'll see us somewhere soon at some family party. O_O

At the moment we have an issue here - a 17 y/o girl from our vollie department dated a 20 y/o paramedic colleague of my EMS department, so I know both very well. Normal girl-and-boy-thing, romantic feelings and all. But her father simply can't get it, that his little girl grows up and falls in love, now she's even not allowed to attend our meetings or come to service and so, just because it could be that the young man comes across (he's a certified trainer, so sometimes we have him in our trainings, there they once met). It seems, we get enough stuff for a movie. Robert De Niro would be a good cast for him.

I meanwhile ran out of personal experience knowledge I could give those two, never had such a difficult girl-dad for my dates! Tips welcome.

My daughter is 18 years old, and I've told her I'm associated with the largest gang in the city. Every one of these gang members carry guns. Guns and badges. So she had better be careful about who she chooses

Wait, you mean there is crime in Canada? Whodathunk it eh?

"Ten Simple Rules for Dating My Daughter"

Rule One: If you pull into my driveway and honk you'd better be delivering a package, because you're sure not picking anything up.

Rule Two: You do not touch my daughter in front of me. You may glance at her, so long as you do not peer at anything below her neck. If you cannot keep your eyes or hands off of my daughter's body, I will remove them.

Rule Three: I am aware that it is considered fashionable for boys of your age to wear their trousers so loosely that they appear to be falling off their hips. Please don't take this as an insult, but you and all of your friends are complete idiots. Still, I want to be fair and open minded about this issue, so I propose this compromise: You may come to the door with your underwear showing and your pants ten sizes too big, and I will not object. However, In order to ensure that your clothes do not, in fact, come off during the course of your date with my daughter, I will take my electric nail gun and fasten your trousers securely in place to your waist.

Rule Four: I'm sure you've been told that in today's world, sex without utilizing a "barrier method" of some kind can kill you. Let me elaborate: when it comes to sex, I am the barrier, and I will kill you.

Rule Five: In order for us to get to know each other, we should talk about sports, politics, and other issues of the day. Please do not do this. The only information I require from you is an indication of when you expect to have my daughter safely back at my house, and the only word I need from you on this subject is "early."

Rule Six: I have no doubt you are a popular fellow, with many opportunities to date other girls. This is fine with me as long as it is okay with my daughter. Otherwise, once you have gone out with my little girl, you will continue to date no one but her until she is finished with you. If you make her cry, I will make you cry.

Rule Seven: As you stand in my front hallway, waiting for my daughter to appear, and more than an hour goes by, do not sigh and fidget. If you want to be on time for the movie, you should not be dating. My daughter is putting on her makeup, a process that can take longer than painting the Golden Gate Bridge. Instead of just standing there, why don't you do something useful, like change the oil in my car?

Rule Eight: The following places are not appropriate for a date with my daughter: Places where there are beds, sofas, or anything softer than a wooden stool. Places where there are no parents, policemen, or nuns within eyesight. Places where there is darkness. Places where there is dancing, holding hands, or happiness. Places where the ambient temperature is warm enough to induce my daughter to wear shorts, tank tops, midriff T-shirts, or anything other than overalls, a sweater, and a goose down parka zipped up to

her throat. Movies with a strong romantic or sexual theme are to be avoided; movies which feature chainsaws are okay. Hockey games are okay. Old folks homes are better.

Rule Nine: Do not lie to me. I may appear to be a pot-bellied, balding, middle-aged, dim-witted has-been. But on issues relating to my daughter, I am the all-knowing, merciless god of your universe. If I ask you where you are going and with whom, you have one chance to tell me the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. I have a shotgun, a shovel, and five acres behind the house. Do not trifle with me.

Rule Ten: Be afraid. Be very afraid. It takes very little for me to mistake the sound of your car in the driveway for a chopper coming in over a rice paddy outside of Hanoi. When my Agent Orange starts acting up, the voices in my head frequently tell me to clean the guns as I wait for you to bring my daughter home. As soon as you pull into the driveway you should exit your car with both hands in plain sight. Speak the perimeter password, announce in a clear voice that you have brought my daughter home safely and early, then return to your car. There is no need for you to come inside. The camouflaged face at the window is mine.

Not a lot to tell Bern. Sometimes a father just can not let go and she, they , you .. will have to wait until she is 18 or out on her own. I am sure he is having difficulty and thinks that the 20yr old instructor used his position to take advantage of his innocent little girl nothing will change that unless your instructor friend can convince the father in question that his intentions are honorable. Nothing you or anyone else can do except them, and most specifically him.

thats my take

I knew I was in love with her the moment I saw the reflection of the moon on her daddy's shotgun.

My daughter dated an Army Ranger and he was scared to death to talk to me and I didn't have to instill that fear in him - at all.

I am an ex-paramedic's daughter and my daddy is very protective of me. I grew up at the fire house and rescue squad with him. He did a great job of raising me and he put a good head on my shoulders. I am now following in his footsteps and on the way to becoming a Paramedic. Guys just remember, you're doing a great job of raising your girls and I'm sure that they will make the right choices. And it is a great feeling to know that there are people out there that are willing to drop everything to save someone. I see my daddy as my hero and he knows that. They will always love you no matter what happens.

EFF4, you had me all wrapped up in that story up to the point where you said that you were following in his footsteps...

A dad that lets his baby become a paramedic?? Unthinkable!

But he sounds like a good guy none the less...
