My Crazy Dad Has Doomed My Love Life
A comic tale of dating under the inevitable influence of our parents.
by Lianne Stokes
So far, the closest I’ve come to a relationship is a short fling with a quirky comedy writer who hid a flask in his sock and hung purple plastic grapes from his ceiling, referring to it as “the grotto,” and another with a man I met on Jdate whom I called my “virtual boyfriend.” On text message, he’d wax romantic sending me electronic prose that read, “Hello, my gorgeous.” In person he laughed like Beavis and Butthead and shared with me his past conquests, among them an overweight girl who, in his words, “I did when I was wasted.”
So whom am I going to bring home to my father? Not his problem.
