their permission? what kind of idea is that? This is the 21st century boy. What will you do if they don't agree? stop seeing her? This decision doesn't concern anyone else but you two, Why try to make anyone else feel like they have anything to say about it; they don't.

probably both at the same time, but i would
assume if you were going to just ask one, the dad. ;]]]

I wouldn't so much ask for permission as I would ask for a blessing. You should approach both of her parents, tell them what you are going to do, and then say you'd like their blessing. It's a sign of respect, which gives you no room for a 'no' or awkwardness on anyone's part.

Good luck.

treat them 2 breakfast, lunch,or dinner (not mcdonald's) & ask them 2gether.
CONGRATS & GOOD LUCK!

Traditionally you'd ask the father. My boyfriend told me he was going to ask my for permission to marry me from my 17 year old son...how sweet is that?

I think in this day and age, it'd be ok to ask them both at the same time (assuming they are still married).

Good luck!

Is your girl still living with her parents or something? You don't need their permission but if you and her are on good terms together with her parents and you would like their aproval then I would say do it over dinner with both of them in a public place. Bring it up and talk about it.


Chickybabe
I would ask both of them_

I would ask them both, at the same time, in person.
Good luck and good going! You are doing the right thing to ask permission. Just make sure you ask her soon afterward so they don't let the secret slip.

who likes you more?

talk to that person first

other wise if they both like you sit them both down and let them know how you feel about their daughter... then tell them you want to marry her....
good luck and congrats

Both...and I admire you for that. My husband did the same thing...

You could talk to her and see what she thinks.

it does not really matter because they have both been married and maybe even be able to give you good advice with there experience

The father. Take him out to dinner/lunch, and ask for his daughter's hand in marriage. BTW - YOU pay for the meals.

Ask both of the parents at the same time, if they are both married. Follow your heart, in matters like these you can only do what you think is best for your situation. If your intentions are good and you really love her and want to be with her for the rest of your life, you cant go wrong. Go for it!! God bless....


Concerned of legality
The correct person, traditionally, to ask is the dad.

Probably both at the same time good luck tho!!

Well your a good man for asking. It's becoming more and more popular to just disregard asking the parents. As for asking I would say both of them. They both raised their daughter and I'm sure it is equally important to both of them if you ask both of them. As far as tradition goes though it's generally the father you ask. Hence the reason the Dad walks the daughter down the aisle to you. He is "giving her away to you" so generally you have to ask to be given something. Hope this helps.

it depends traditionally its the father but it depends what you would feel more comfortable with. I love how you are asking the parents, its so sweet. good luck to you and your girlfriend for the future

In the US it is customary for the suitor to ask the father. If the father wants hid wife involved in this decision he will let you and his wife know. Good luck!

awww....that's so sweet....both at the same time would probably be best

first tell her
then sit down and talk to her parents

both at the same time....but if you were to ask just one i suggest asking her father...it'd probably go better!!!!

Traditionally you are supposed to ask the father but if the parents are seperated then which ever parents has taken care of her more then I think I would ask them, you could have them come to a dinner that you pay for and then bring it up...

The Father is who you ask for his daughters hand in marriage

the right person is the girl when she is 30 years old,

You should probably pick the parent that you think is on your side and hint it to him/her. After you plant that seed, wait awhile and ask both of the parents out to some sort of meal, chat them up, and ask for their permission.

well i dont think you should need to ask just tell them hey i love your daughter and i want to spend my life with her .. im sure if you feel its right you would at least have some good relationship with her parents ... they were probably waiting for you to le

talk to the person u really feel comfortable w/ exept ure gf. (the parents)


Bobbie
IMO you should ask whomever you are closest with now. Usually it's best to start with the mom and then move to the dad...because she is probably daddy's little girl.

You are doing the right thing by asking for their blessing. It is so romantic and sweet :-)


I ♥ Big Bang!
you should ask them both whe you feel the time is right
u should pray
