HA! my parent's divorced a while back and, while I didn't set them up I found out one of my friends was in a "fwb" relationship with my dad. She likes it because he's older and she gets to experience things a younger guy won't or doesn't know how to do. (although I told her I could do without the details) and obviously he is in it because she's gorgeous and has a nice body. I found out accidently (ugh) but now that I know they aren't so secretive and she's over there a few times a week.

I don't think that's a good idea. I think he's old enough and capable of finding a woman, if he wants one. It's a little creepy to set him up with someone you think made your mother jealous.

I wouldn't approach him suggesting to set him up with one of "your" girlfriends.

It's one of those things that seems like a good idea; but it gets weird when you actually try to do it.

Honeypie agony auntHow long ago did your mom pass?

Has your dad mentioned dating again?

Have you ASKED your dad how he is doing with the loss of your mom?

Don't try and set them up.

Your dad is a WHOLE grown man and can find a date (when he is ready to date) ALL by himself.

I think you should let your dad make his own way through dating. Setting him up with your friend sounds like a recipe for disaster to me.

kenny agony auntPersonally my advice would be to not set them up, i just feel that things could get rather awkward if things never worked out.

Also your Dad my also find it awkward being approached about dating one of his sons friends.

I'm just giving you my opinion looking in from the outside, of course you know the situation better than i do, and how your dad would feel about dating one of your friends.

More importantly, how would other family members feel about it?.

There are a lot of things to take in to consideration before you approach your Dad about this.
