My new girlfriend's dad thinks I'm a dick

As the title says really.

I met the parents of my new girlfriend the other night, I was perfectly polite, chatty, ate the dinner they gave me, helped them out with bringing their Christmas presents downstairs, took their daughter out and made sure she was back (in a car) well in advance of the time they specified for her to be home.

Still though, he thinks I'm a dick.

What can I do? I thought that I could be persistent and show him that I'm not a dick and I have no intention of hurting his daughter, but that sounds boring. Anyone got any more interesting suggestions on how to deal with this? The funnier the better.. I just need some cheering up I think, come on TSR! :biggrin:

How do you know he thinks you're a dick?

threesome with moi?

Are they against lesbians? Or has your girlfriend had previous girlfriends?
Just continue to be nice, sounds like you're doing the right thing :smile:

was there anything at all that you might have done?
what sort of thing did he do so you could tell he thought so?
there's always a small chance it was shyness..and if you're a lesbian, maybe he wasn't too sure about how to act? :dontknow:

Because he told her so, and an argument began over it, which lead to her coming to my house in a very foul mood :p:

Are you a bit butch? could you 'male bond' with him over a discussion of car engines or motorised garden equipment?

The reason I asked was because I thought it might be because of the reasons the above posters have replied with ^. Sounds like he isn't happy with the idea of his daughter being gay :/ it doesn't sound like you're doing anything wrong!

He might not be a fan of sin?

Give it time, maybe he wants to get to know you first. Most in-laws are like this. However my partners parents are dicks and I've known them 3 years, so maybe not.

I don't think it is my gender that is the issue, as she's had other girlfriends before and they've never had an issue with it. Her mum seems lovely, and I really like the girl, but the dad has puzzled me somewhat..
