Q: Dear Dalzell & Co.,
I'm going golfing with my girlfriend's father this weekend. I think I am going to ask his permission to marry his daughter. Any advice?
Thanks.
Rob
A: Dear Rob,
Eighteen holes with a future father-in-law could be pretty intimidating.
Hopefully this will help make it go as smoothly as possible.
Things NOT to talk about:
- Politics
- Swimsuit models
- College parties
Things TO talk about:
- How much you love his daughter
- How much she loves her dad
And when it comes time to ask for his permission, how can he refuse? Just remember the most important advice I can give you: Throw the game.
Good luck.
-Dalzell & co.
