My dad wants to meet my friend Kyle... he found out that we love each other... he won't let us date, but I think part of the reason is because he hasn't met him yet... I want to introduce him, and show him how great of a guy he really is, but how?

dinner is always a good way for people to meet.
things he should speak of is his plans in life,
get to know your family so asking questions, complimenting them, being himself.
best not to be scared or shy, they can smell fear a mile away.
good luck

It would be helpful to know your age or whether you are still living at home. Still, the simple straight forward approach is always the best. "Dad, this is Kyle. Kyle, this is my Father." Don't attach a label to Kyle, like friend or lover or whatever, just use his name.
You might consider doing this in a public place like a restaurant where you could plan to arrive seperately from your father but with Kyle. You could also make alternative plans for including or not including Dad in after dinner plans depending on how the conversation goes. There are all sorts of posibilities.

Meet at a neutral place, like for lunch or dinner at a restaurant. Have Kyle be on his best behavior and ask your Dad lots of questions, like what he did as a kid, did he play any sports, etc - and LISTEN or at least show alot of interest when Dad talks. It'll show your dad that Kyle wants to know more about your family and cares enough to ask questions.

Not the BEST way- - -but the FUNNIEST way - - - is just bring them face to face and say:
"Hey Dad! You remember the guy I told you about who got me pregnant? Yeah! This is him! Kyle!"
Your dad will have difficulty trying to grab his chest AND Kyle's neck at the same time!
Kyle, on the other hand, if he's not passed out on the floor, will be two blocks away!
If you are QUICK enough, you can very quickly add on: "Yeah! Haha! Just kidding!! You know you can't get pregnant when the moon's full!! Hahahahahahaha!"
You wanna see a a couple of scared guys bond- - -here's your chance!!!

It should be easy if there's no "cultural clash".
Most of us like sports.
You never know, Kyle could be invited to watch football games with your dad on Sundays!!
There's a common interest between the both of them, and Kyle should be polite, etc, or else your dad would hate him more.

He needs to be nice and just stay calm so that he is not acting scared in front of your father. The important part is he look and talk like a decent person. it not at all about you saying this is kyle and this dad.

You can't set Kyle up with what to say. You will simply need to introduce him to your Dad and have him be himself.
At the end of the day it is YOU who is going out with Kyle and whilst it's always nice if your Dad likes your boyfriend, it certainly isn't essential.
You just be happy!!

I just went through this a few weeks ago.
Talk to your dad first. Tell him everything you can about the guy. Ask if your dad will have dinner with the guy. Go to dinner. Make sure the guy has enough money to pay for at least you and himself, just in case he must.
The guy should figure out what to say. Make sure he tells your father how he feels about you, WHY he feels that way, and what his plans are. Make sure he asks your father's permission if you can date, or if you can talk, even if you are sure your father will say no.
Things will go better than you think, I'm sure. We all tend to think the worst will happen.

set up a pre-arranged dinner where everyone knows it is to meet your b/f. then explain the likes and dislikes in general of each to the other.Don't try to guide the conversation and give some alone time by excusing yourself for a little while,they will be more comfotable and talk more freely without you there to try to guide the convers. or defend.Relax and let it be as it is, you'll find this aproach is best as your father will get an easier feeling if you trust in them both to know what to ask and say

Find out where they have the same interests, and then tell Kyle to strike up a conversation on the subject. Make sure he listens intently to your father, asks questions, and values his opinion.

Don't! run away to Vegas and have a grand 'ol time. Just kidding. I would take your family out to dinner, and ask if you could bring a guest. Tell your father that he is a guy, and that you just want him to meet Kyle. Ask it nicley, not in a demanding tone.
