My parents told me to never date someone that wouldn't be a good husband and father.
Yes but I can't day that I followed them. My partner now was was my moms favorite. She's smiling down on me now. ;)
No, I think they were happy that i did not turn out to be an axe murderer
They never said anything and so I figured they just wanted me to be happy. Which is the case.
They never told me but you could tell...a good job, goals, ambition, a car, treat me right, doesn't do drugs. Basic expectations. More from my dad than my mom
nooit hardop iets van gezegd, maar ik weet wel dat gij het niet waart wat ze in gedachten hadden....
No as long as I was happy
Nope
All they asked was for me to keep my wee wee out of the livestock... But no love like cow love I tell ya!!!
my father prefers I have a checklist with more then 2 characteristics (male and good looking) of a man I'm dating. my mother doesn't want me to marry anyone that reminds her of my father.
Yes. They expected me to date.

yes, a great character, charming personality and compatible.
Probably but not really well known, just intelligent and considerate.
no idea, I never asked them and wouldn't have paid any attention anyway!
My parents always had strong expectations growing up. They wanted me to date someone Catholic and that was either Asian or Hispanic. Basically someone my same religion and ethnic background. I think they are finally coming to an understanding that it won't happen. So now it's just as long as they aren't LDS.
