My parents are a bit similar about it,if I want to date someone,they should meet him/her and have a talk together.They’re pretty open minded about it,the ethnicity and religion is not a criteria,and I.m allowed to date men and women.But they take extra care that he/she respect me,treat me well,not do any dangerous activity(using drugs,being alcoholic,spending time in bad company...);being smart and well educated is important too.Of course,they should wear normal clothing(no ripped jeans or similar),not using vulgar language,etc...

I guess it is similar to Sara2001’s parents requirements.

P.S.:In my case,if my parents approve a boyfriend/girlfriend,it means he/she will probably be approved to marry me later,if he/she propose me,too.

I'm pretty sure a parental approval is mandatory.

    Laura how much money would your family want the person to make? And for those who have dateing restrictions has anyone ever had a crush on you so hard that they tryed to change themselves for you to meet your parents approval?

        Natescage I think everyone has seen everything before therefore no. I don't think anyone will try to become a foot taller or a billionaire to impress someone else. At least that would be very sad way to live your life.

            Laura lol Laura.. mabey someone will get there one day lol. The pool of People in the USA with that kind of money is shrinking however, if I recall correctly what I've read. You might have to wait a while. Would you mom negatiate about this if you couldn't find a husband?

                Not in NYC, that's not big money really

                    Laura true NYC is mad expensive although me and some classmates have considered moving there after school. Actually Laura I have a classmate from NYC who is rich and his friend is even richer (family has there own jet aircraft). Mabey I can out him in touch with you? Lol.

                        It is not very pleasant,but I think it is understandable.And manageable.

                        To be honest,I never liked to get a "No.",but,most of the times,they were right.

                        In my case,of course.But not about money!😉 They took care to wear normal clothes(ripped jeans,gothic look and so are not a good start to get such approval),stay calm(even if they don't like the meeting or my parents' questions),sometimes tend to make my parents think he/she is a better or more serious student than he/she is,etc...No big changes,but acting a bit differently to increase the chances to get the approval.
