Ok, DUer's...
once again I need to ask for your advice/opinion.

Here's the scoop in a nutshell...my daughter has terrible taste in men. Really, she's a disaster when it comes to dating/picking guys to date and that's saying a lot since she's dated very little. She was in a long term relationship that ended VERY badly.

She's gone out with a few guys, but has no idea how to date or flirt. I was joking with her and told her I was going to start a face book page and screen the guys for her. She refuses to go to a dating site. She seems somewhat open to the idea.

What do you guys think?

She's 24, has a degree in accounting and will finish her masters in the fall. She's well versed in many subjects..from sports, to politics to cars. She has a great sense of humor.

Her "cons" are she demands you be punctual for all appts/dates/meetings, she's brutally honest.

Here are some pics...I think she's a knockout..but I'm biased.

1. I'm curious about some things
Did your daughter give you permission to post these pics of her?

What is it, exactly, you are asking when you write, "What do you guys think?"

:shrug:

2. Yes she did..
I would never post her pictures without her permission. When I joked about the face book page, she said to get opinions from the site I liked..meaning DU.

I'm asking about the face book page...as opposed to a dating site..

3. I think she should meet people IRL
That way she knows who the person really is.

4. She is gorgeous.
But I agree that she should meet people IRL. Not that relationships between people who meet online can't be good, but it's harder to judge someone's personality when you can't be around them face to face.

5. Thanks..
I agree real life is the best way to go. Poor thing has no clue....she's so smart about everything..except guys. I don't want to see her give up. She seems so sad sometimes, it breaks my heart.

I tell her it (love) will happen when she least expects it, but she's at least got to be more open and not put on the "stay away" vibes...which she's doing now because of the bad experiences.

10. She should work on making herself happy with herself first.
Then love (the good kind) will come along on its own.

Of course, this is something that can't be told. People have to figure it out for themselves.

8. Tell her to pursue her interests and maybe she'll

meet someone that way. Then you can give her your opinion when you meet him. Better that she learns things by doing them on her own.

11. Aw. She's adorable!
Tell me who hurt her and I will punish him.

Then I will find others who look like him and punish them as well.

15. Old enough to be.
The vibe I get off of those few pics is "gorgeous and still cute."

She'll do just fine.

14. IMO, it sounds like she needs to figure herself out.
And Dad might want to back off a bit.
