Your date honking his horn so he wont come up to your door?

OMG !!!! I cannot believe I am reading this! My father (rest his soul) Hated this Horn honking "crap"; if anyone did not come to the door, sat there and honked the horn , my father would not let us go.. and you know what? He was right! If someone is there to pick you up, they should have enough respect to come knock on the door! This is too cool! Sorry memories, my father got so angry one day this guy laying on the horn for my sister, he got dressed went to see this "person" and let me tell you, I think that is when Ear-plugs wer invented! Thanks so much for the post and a walk for myself down memory lane with my dad.. awww miss him! But thnaks you made me smile!

Even when I was a teenager, I would never have stood for someone honking theor horn at me, like I was his to command. Whether there are parents to meet or not, he should really show her the respect of going to the door and escorting her to the car. I think that he would be waiting indefinitely if he tried to pull that on me. After six years of marriage, my husband still usually opens my car door for me. :)

Yes, that is unacceptable. Your date should be kind and respectful. He is to turn off the engine of his car, go up to your door, and knock on it. And yes, he should meet your parents if he knows what is good for him. If he does that, then turn him down. Do not date him if he does that. Ask him where his manners are? You do not want to date a jerk.

When a guy honked for my mother, my grandfather went outside and told him that no one who would be THAT RUDE is going to date his daughter, and to get the heck off of his property NOW!!! The best solution for not meeting the other's parents, is for the two involved, to meet at a cafe, or something. When I wanted to spend time with my husband before we got married, and didn't want to worry about family involvement, I met him in Arizona! LOL

That's just plain ole disrespect. If the little chicken can't handle daddy he has no business sniffing around the daughter. The other day some dolt did that in our apt. complex. I went to the window and just stared at him, after about a minute he got out and climbed the 15 steps it took to get to her apt. I would not stand for that again, what kind of dad lets his daughter hang out with a scuzbucket like that?

Absolutely I would find it offending. How rude and disrespectful! In fact I wouldn't go out! He could honk all night if he wanted... Maybe I'd call the cops on him for disturbing the neighbors. Back in the day, my father would have gone out to the car and made him leave! My dad would never stand for that. My dates were afraid to take me after meeting my dad, which was embarrassing, but he was correct in his general thinking.

I would not like that either! It is respect and the knowledge that you are the one taking their daughter out for the evening.

hi moonlitmagikchild, yeah, that's funny why the girl and many other girls are still dating such guys. i will never do that; i have no car to honk its horn anyway of course my girlfriend parents is the last people i want to deal with, but as they have a 'close relationship' with the one i love, they became not so bad anyway, why don't you throw something hard (maybe a stone or a hammer) to the guy? i think he deserve it. so, next time he honk his horn, just do that. good luck!

hi moonlitmagikchild I think it is very insulting for a young man not to go to the door to pick up his date,when my husband dated me he always came to my parents door, knocked and even talked to them while I got ready. we did not have a car until after we had been married awhile.

That was a big thing with my father, if our dates wouldn't come to the door, then we couldn't go out with them. It didn't matter how long we had been dating, in my father's eyes every time he came to pick me up then it was only respectful to come to the door. I remember once when a boyfriend of mine tried to pull that and my dad walked outside and told him that if he didn't have enough respect to come to the door then his daughter wasn't going anywhere with him. So of course, I feel that it is disrespectful to honk your horn like that at anyone you are picking up, whether it's your date or just a friend. It's not only disrespectful to the person your picking up, but also the people that live around them and have to hear that horn honk!!

definitely rude, the parents should go and talk to him...

Not only rude but disprectful to my family. My family is a part of me and if you want to be with me you should not be avoiding them. I think honking from the driveway is saying, "You are not important enough for me to get out of the car for." I would not date a guy who did this on a regular basis. If we were off to somewhere and we were in a hurry I might accept it on occasion but never on a regular basis, the honking in my case would be pre-planned and I would be waiting for his arival and watching out the window. I can't believe girls will date guys who obviously don't respect them.

Yes, I would find it highly insulting. I would think he was just plain lazy and inconsiderate. If it was an occasional thing, like when there was a HUGE rush to get somewhere in time, I could almost understand it. But, if this happened every single time, nope, I would end that relationship really fast. In a situation such as yours, I'd try to find an appropriate time to talk calmly to the girl's mother about it. I can't understand why SHE isn't upset by this. If it were MY daughter, I'd have no problem having a little chat with her boyfriend about changing his ways! I'd let him know that by not coming to the door and seeing my daughter to his car and instead sitting there honking his horn for 10 to 20 minutes, he's being extremely inconsiderate and disrespectful; not only to my daughter, but to the neighbors as well. What is wrong with that girl's mother??? Is she deaf???

no no and no! i'd be walking down there to have a "chat" with his punk butt!!! what happened to the old fashion days when the guys and girls actually cared!!! ahh

yea i would be insulted. come to the door. and when its my daughter time to date you better be sure he'll come to the door, or he will be honking out there for a while until he gets the hint

I think I would find it annoying for the guy to just keep honking. If they have a date and he is too lazy to walk to the door than she should be outside waiting for him. They should have more respect for other ppl than that. [b]~~AT PEACE WITHIN~~ **STAND STRONG IN YOUR BELIEFS**[/b]

I find it extremely rude when someone sits outside and honks without even bothering to come to the door and say hey I'm here are you ready. I am one who if they can't bother to come and say hi and ask if im ready but will sit and honk I wont go out. I recently had some guy pull into my yard and sit and HONK his horn to get me to come out rather than getting off his butt and coming to my door and knocking. When i finally went out to see what the heck he was honking at, he says "well it took you long enough to come to talk to me" My response was"how was i supposed to know you wanted to talk to me and werent just honking at my cows or something, you could have come to my door and knocked" he grunted at me. Then asks about the truck my dad has for sale in my yard. I told him what i knew and he was really rude about wanting to test drive it "RIGHT NOW" but couldnt keys were with dad at work and then got huffy and said he wasnt going to come back because i wasnt "providing good customer service" I was my house not a freaking business and Its not my fault dad went to work with the key in his pocket!

I would be ticked if my date did that and we wouldn't be dating long.

I would definitely be p.o.ed! There is absolutely no excuse for this type of disrespect for both the date and the parents. A couple of weeks ago I finally met my wife's family. This was something I wished I could have avoided, but I did anyway. There definitely weren't the ogres I had been lead to believe.

Let me put it like this. If a boy wants to date my daughter and he does not have the intestinal fortitude to come up to the door and deal with myself and my wife then he does not deserve to see my daughter.
