I'm being picked up for a second date at my house and since I live at home, my parents will likely be there. My Mom thinks I should let my date meet my Dad, but, yeah, I'm scared that he's going to be totally freaked out.
I'm 23 (yeah yeah, I know I need to move out. I moved back home to give myself a year to save for a house) so I already feel like a baby.

Introduce him to your parents if they are there -- it's their house, after all. But do it in a way that shows that you are merely doing the common courtesy of introducing adults to one another -- NOT like you are asking for their permission to go out (as if you were in high school).
Your date should be fine with this. If he gets weirded out, that should tell you something about his maturity level and character.

I don't see a problem with it, actually I think it will show you if the guy is worth dating or not... think about it, if things work out he would need to meet your parents eventually. If he's picking you up and he knows you live with your parents it shouldn't be a big deal. Come on, you aren't 16 anymore... it's not cool to just run out the door, it's better that he comes in for a few minutes. If you are worried about your dad then be ready when your date arrives and stay in the room while he talks to your parents, if things get weird make an excuse to leave, ie. "We are going to be late for our movie/reservations... better go"!

If he's totally freaked out to meet your dad then it's not right...any guy that wants to be with you or even take you on a date should have the guts and respect to meet your dad! Dont feel like a baby, explain your living at home situation...im sure he'll understand

You should let him meet your dad. If your date really likes you then he won't mind meeting your dad. It will only take a few minutes and it's the respectful thing to do.
If he doesn't want to meet your parents then it's not going to be too sunshiney later on. You want a quality guy, right? One who isn't going to get all bent out of shape about something as simple as meeting the parents?

No you wont look like a baby. So what you live at home for a while, big deal.. but you should let your date know that your parents might want to meet him breifly.. if this guy is cool then he shouldnt care.

If he is a smart guy, he probably is doing the same, saving up his money too. You would be surprised by how many guys who are extremely good with their money. He probably saw something of himself in you.
Anyway, if this guy is a dumb party guy, he will only see your situation as tedious- he cant score right away.
Therefore he is not worth your while. You may even be asked to pay for lol, dinner. Hold on to your wallet.

are you crazy, tell your mother that when the day comes that you think your dad should me him, she will be the first to know. that way you keep control over your life, and instead of DAD intimidating your date, when he has a long time to see how he treats you and makes you feel. then your dads protective tendencies will be turned into grateful welcomes and so nice to finally get to meet you.
would it be so important, and would you even consider introducing him to your father, before he was ready, if you weren't living under thier roof

Saving for a house is a mature thing to do.
Just make the meeting quick and painless. Be cool about it so you don't look foolish to anyone.
Joke about it later with your date.

I would said no, you move back home for a reason and its good enough for me. Well, if your date can't handle meeting your dad, then they shouldn't be asking you out.

No I don't think so. You only moved in, to better your life. There's nothing wrong with that.
