holy ****!! a stand up guy,,,!!! good for you for wanting to be proper. it was tough for me to ask her dad when i did it, but that guy is now the closest thing i have to a best friend,,,just tell the guy your intentions and be honest with him and yourself,,you'll do just fine..

I called her father up and said I would like to come over so we could talk. So I went to his house and we sat down and had a beer. I told him I was going to propose and that I would like his blessing (not his permission, since I was going to do it weather he said yes or no anyway). He said it was okay, and wished us the best of luck. That was it. Straight and to the point, and I didn't make a big deal out of it.

I got engaged a couple months ago. (YAY DuronClocker!)
He didn't ask my mom (Dad is non-existent) ... in my personal opinion, my mother has nothing to do with who I love or who I'm going to marry, so there is no point in asking her! My mom approves, of course, but if she didn't ... wouldn't stop me!
Kudos for doin' it old school ... just don't see the point!! Good luck though!

I asked my father-in-law at a drag race, walking back from the end of the shutdown after reseting the world record and winning a national event. He'd also had a few beers. ![Grin](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/smilies/LS1Tech/gr_grin.gif)
Now, that's probably not the easiest set of circumstances to replicate, so I'd say just talk to him in person, and be straight up about it. Simple is typically the best.

Would you still marry her if the parents said "NO" ? Does it really matter? From how you wrote your opening paragraph its sounds if you are marrying her because you got her pregnant. I dont think this is the case but that is how it comes across.
I say quit being a wuss and just ask the parents because I have a feeling you are just doing it out of respect.
Man up!
