Ok, so there's this animal shelter about 15 minutes down the road from my house. I seen this really cute and timid girl there. I've seen her around before, but I never really talked to her. Normally Im kinna shy when it comes to the opposite sex, but this time it was different. I was amazed we hit it off so well (naturally I tried to play it cool, actin like it was no biggie).

The issue? She's black.

I had her over for dinner last night with my parents. She was shy and didn't really say much, but I tried to get some kind of dialog going between her and my folks. You know... just tried to break the ice. That was a bad idea... a VERY bad idea.

Out of nowhere my dad gets up and just flips the hell out on everyone! He actually made her cry and she just left my house and walked down the road. I wanted to flip out on my dad for being an asshole, but I ran after her and tried to comfort (I guess thats the word) her. Since she didn't live very far away, I walked her home and apologized for my dad's behavior.

When I got home, boy did I flip the fuck out! The dialog went something like:

Me: What the hell is your problem flippin out like that when I bring a date home?!
Dad: Are you kidding me?! She's black!!
Me: So? What does that matter?
Dad: Jesus son, she's a fucking black Labrador Retriever!! Why couldn't you pick up that sexy ass golden Retriever down the street?!!

So what should I do guys? Should I try to work on things with the black lab? Or, should I just hook up with that golden retriever I see walkin down the road all the time?

...Man, life is hard. :(

That dialogue sounds fake as hell.

But in all seriousness, you can't get your family to accept her. If your dad actually "flips out" on her, then there really is no recovery. If you really like this girl, plan on avoiding your family.

I think he means a dog, it's just a fail thread. I thought the same thing...
