Okay, I was with my parents last night and they started lecturing me once again about being single. My dad was upset that I wasn't even going out on dates, at which point I told him I was. I asked him if it was necessary for me to call them every time I had a date, and he said yes.
He may have been joking, but I could at least sense that he wanted the reassurance that I wouldn't grow up to be 40 and single.
So the question of the day is, do you guys and girls tell your parents whenever you have a date? If you're of the younger crowd, I would assume yes. If you're married, I'd guess no. But for anyone who doesn't live at home and is a legal adult, do you feel like you need to tell your parents whenever you're going on a date?
For me, I say HELL NO!!!

I'm 23 and don't live with my parents, and I never tell them when I go on a date. The only time I ever really talk to them about it is if they try calling when I'm on a date, and then ask me the next day where I was. But neither of them come out of nowhere and ask me about that kind of thing.

I won't tell my parents anything like this.
Hell, I go out with a few friends, just friends, who happen to be female, and they're telling me not to forget to wear protection. Can't be bothered dealing with that crap.
If I liked a girl enough, I'd introduce her to them. Haven't found that girl yet, though.

I also get very in-depth whenever I have sex; I tell my parents about every little birthmark and scar on the woman's body! [/joking]
Nah ... I actually am living with my parentals for a few more months (until I find a place I can afford) and all I ever say is, "I'm going out." If I'm wearing my normal clothes, they just assume I'm going out drinking. If I'm wearing my "gonna git me some" clothes, well ... they never notice, because I dress like that anyway.

Therefore, you're more likely to give them a heads up that you're going out on a date or doing whatever. |

I'm 23 myself, my mom never once bothered me about this.
She's just never bothered getting into my personal life for whatever random reason.

Well, I'm 28. So use this as a warning that the older you get, the more likely your parents will bother you if you're single.

Either go very in-detail about your sex life, or make stuff up. They'll learn, sooner or later. It's called tough love. "So, how was your date?" "She gave me a BJ in the parking lot before we even got into the restaurant, Mom. And it was pornotastic! You guys should really meet her. Dad would love her!" That'll shut 'em up but good. |

I've only gone out only 2 times where it was a girl and me, and I just tell my parents that I'm going to the movie or going to lunch with so-and-so. Other then that if it concerns girls, I follow the lead of my brother and just don't talk about it at home.

you're lucky you dont have 5 siblings. 3 of them got married within the last few years (the other two about 10 years ago), and at each event i have to hear 900 times 'when are you getting married?'
the last time, i freaked everyone out by saying 'ill get married when its legal for someone like me in this state...', of course i burst out laughing at all the dropped jaws, then had to reassure everyone im not gay (not that theres anything wrong with that..)

I never tell them anything. My Brother tells my Mother everything that goes on with him though & it's very annoying.

Ocassionally, I might head out on a Saturday night & say "I'm going out with [Insert name of female friend who I may or may not be currently seeing]".
I've not had a proper girlfriend in like 2 years (I think), but I don't think they're that bothered. I get the feeling though that if I mention a certain girl's name frequently enough they might think I'm going out with her (which isn't always the case, of course).

well at least your parents aren't trying to get you in a forced arraigned marriage, especially when you already have a girlfriend

The only time my mom knows anything about my romantic life is when I bring a broad to her house.

Broad?
My folks would only know of someone if we were serious. My Mom tends to "obsess" about our dating and my sister and I got tired of hearing "oh could this be the one". Marriage isn't the reason why I grew up, there are things I want to do with my life. If I find "the one", then she'll know. Otherwise she can think I have a boyfriend who comes with batteries.
