You can't know that, hahahaha. God you're young. I change my mind. Get married. Have fun explaining to your 27 year-old self what the frick you were thinking. This will work out perfect. The apprehension from her family will only add character to the relationship.

Meh, ignore the troll. I got married when I was 23 and my wife was 22. Happily married going on 13 years now. Wouldn't trade our life for any amount of single years I could have had.
As far as the redneck dad, I'd offer the restaurant option but he refuses I'd man up and go to the house. He is looking to smell your fear, and if you flinch he wins. If you really feel it's that dangerous, pack a weapon but showing him from day one you are a man and not intimidated will go along way down the road. And that's from personal experience.

If dinner is just with the MIL and FIL, and the MIL is in your corner, I would go. Positive vibes are on your side.
You're going to end up spending a lot of time at her house anyway, and there's a decent chance you'll have to see this guy frequently over the next 30 years.
If he's racist and it doesn't work, just leave, but remember, he's probably only asking for this meeting because it's his daughter, and he loves her too.

My honest advice is head straight for the storm. Go in their environment and show them how brave you can be. If they are going to shoot you it will happen at the wedding or some other event unless your girlfriend is going to exclude them from her life (doesn't sound like it). So don't look at this as a one time event to "get through." Look at it as a lifetime problem you have to manage starting today. It will only get harder if you show weakness right off the bat.

I can't believe he's thinking of doing it any other way. He sounds like a huge puss being scared to eat at his future in-laws house. God dude it's a fricking dinner. Man the frick up and stop being a coward.

That may be my best option. Hopefully I don't need to pack but if needed it'll happen. I don't want him thinking he scared me off.

If I could I'd send him this thread just to see the puss his daughter likes. No way would I let you marry my daughter after sounding like this.

She has no issue dropping them. They depend on her more than anything. But in that light it does make more sense to go to dinner. I don't want it to be a question of my manhood.

I don't think it will be. Especially after he realizes there's none to question.

Ignore stacked. The fact he is so adamantly opposing your decision to get married in the near future should serve as affirmation that you are making the right choice.
Posted on 6/16/16 at 8:33 pm to Stacked
Lololol he doesn't like me because I'm black already. Doesn't bother me what your opinion is.
Posted on 6/16/16 at 8:34 pm to dwgsfrlife7673
It doesn't bother me that it doesn't bother you. I just like pointing out trains about to wreck. I couldn't give a frick what you do.

Crazy how small the world is. You from there?

Nah just attended school in the city. I'm there often to see friends.

My son-in-law is black. I am from Alabama. I understand where you are and how you feel.
Meet where he wants to meet. Don't assume the worst. Be respectful but don't grovel. See where it goes.
IF he gets ugly, don't respond. Your future wife will love you for it

And by the way - I got married at 19 and totally disagree with stacked (as per norm)

I like how you said that. She said she just doesn't want to throw me to the wolves. But I think taking a step in faith and showing I can show up is important.

You have to remember - her family comes with her. 5 years from now, you want Thanksgiving and Christmas to be peaceful. If he thinks you have a chip on your shoulder (although HE is likely the one with the chip) he will treat you like you are the one with the problem.
This is a winning situation for you if you play it right.
