Face to face and with the best intentions!
Just remember that this is (and always will be) his little baby girl.
But that ultimately, he wants her to be happy.
Let him know how you feel, that you love her and that you want to give her everything you can.
Try not to get too nervous. If he respects you and knows you have "honest intentions" and knows that marriage will make his daughter happy, odds are that he might give you a hard time, but that he will be very happy to give you his blessing.
Good luck!
And, good for you for being traditional and asking. I think that a lot is lost in this world when we give up our customs and traditions.

This sounds in basic terms like the area with my boyfriend and that i different than we don't stay mutually yet my mothers and fathers nevertheless think of he's the basis of all evil. besides, the main suitable ingredient for you to do is bypass over there and be directly forward. tell him which you should marry his daughter and which you concept the right part of do replaced into to invite for his blessing first. If he refuses it, in basic terms understand which you probably did attempt after which you will no longer have yet another ingredient for him to hold against you in a protracted time in existence. yet nevertheless recommend on your female pal and marry her.

That is the SWEETEST thing I have ever heard!! First, invite her parents for dinner, then as the meal is winding down, ask to speak to dad, man to man. Tell him your feelings and respect for his daughter, that you want to marry her, and that you want his blessing to do so. Good luck, God bless and remember: you are doing something that will help cement the relationship with your in-laws later.

Just go to his house, and tell him: "I would like to have your daughter's hand in marriage. Can I have your blessing?". He will respect you for asking, as many men do not, anymore.
My husband didn't ask my father, but we determined it was fine, since my dad is very anti-social, but initiated conversations with him, when he was visiting.

that´s nice , some people don´t even ask , they just tell them . I think a nice drink down at the wine bar or pub, If you get on well with him and he know´s his daughter will be happy with you there should be no problem. then again why don´t you forget about the drink´s and go round there tonight and ask him, Merry Christmas, & hope your wedding goes well all the very best , with your new wife

Form your plan. Take him out for coffee, breakfast, lunch, whatever he likes. If you want to marry her, you should know these things about him now. Then just say you'd like his permission. Show him the ring, and be prepared to tell him how you will take care of her. If there are things he doesn't like about you, be prepared to explain. I had to ask my wife's mother. She was really hard on me. I am older, divorced and the wrong religion. I'm also now her favorite son-in-law after 2 yrs of marriage. It's all about preparation.

i'm old fashioned and a gentleman i asked my future missus " err um wanna get engaged ? she said "yeah" so i emailed her parents asking for their blessing. i got a reply next day they were overjoyed. any parent would be overjoyed being asked for their blessing. email or text or over a drink still a very decent thing to do.

Talk to your girlfriend first. I'm sure she knows her dad well enough to give you good advice on how to approach him. Be sure you have a big a*ss rock ready for her too. Another one bites the dust. Enjoy it while you can because it's all down hill after marriage.
