My daughters arrange blind dates because I’m lonely
The story
Well, here I am again. This time I will talk about what happened to me a few years ago. I have three daughters, 17-year-old triplets. They are somewhat rebellious and rough, but they are also very well-mannered, respectful, and kind girls. Those who read my previous story already know what happened with the mother of my daughters.
But for those who haven’t read it, I kindly invite you to read the previous story so you can have context about my situation.
What happened is that after my daughters learned about my past and what happened between their mother and me, they noticed my loneliness, since I have always lived to raise them with affection and love, educating them and guiding them to always be better. Honestly, I was fine with how things were, but my daughters decided to sign me up on a dating site, and then they sent me on several blind dates. The truth is, it didn’t go very well… because I was still dealing with the trauma from my ex-partner, Ana.
The first date was with a woman around 32 years old, about my age. At first, we talked nicely; she was polite and everything. But the problem came up when the topic of women arose, because she was extremely sexist and very attached to that mindset. I became serious, because my daughters are actually taller and stronger than me. They go to the gym: the oldest does boxing, the middle one practices archery, and the youngest practices kung fu. When this woman asked me about my daughters, I told her everything without shame, because I am proud of them. She became aggressive and started yelling at me, asking how someone like me could allow my daughters to practice “men’s sports.” I got angry, because they can throw hate at me and curse me if they want, but if they mess with my daughters, I will never allow it. So I politely stood up, told her about her flaws and her lack of respect for others, paid for my meal, and left the place.
After that, my daughters sent me on another blind date. This time it was with a divorced woman who, from the very first second, seemed kind, respectful, and sincere. But at one point she asked me if I drank alcohol or smoked. I honestly have never drunk even a drop of alcohol, nor have I ever smoked, because I don’t like it. Even my daughters don’t drink or smoke. I kindly told the woman that I didn’t, and she looked at me seriously and started drinking and smoking. After a while, she stopped talking to me because she considered me boring and not adventurous.
Honestly, I have been the father of three girls since I was 15 years old. I raised them completely on my own; I worked alone and never had the support of my family or my parents. I kindly told her, “Excuse me, miss, I am a father of three. I dedicate my life to raising them, educating them, spending time with them, and helping them with everything. If you are a party-loving woman who enjoys parties, alcohol, and smoking… and you have also made it clear that you don’t like children, I’m sorry, but I’m leaving. I will pay my part of the dinner. Have a nice night, miss.” I paid the waiter and left.
My daughters were always excited, waiting to know whether the date worked or not. Every time I said no, they got a little frustrated, but it passed, because I always told them what had happened. So they decided to keep sending me on blind dates, but it was terrible.
None of the women were my type, and many things happened. Once, a woman threw dessert in my face because she didn’t like me for being a dedicated father. Another time, a single mother slapped me because she didn’t like my hair color. Another was a feminist, but one of those who are very violent, and I am extremely respectful, since I have three daughters and even act as a homemaker. And so night after night of blind dates passed, and I never found a partner.
My daughters gave up for now, but I always cheer them up, because I am passionate about cooking and I always cook and prepare the food they like. That is life to me, and I wouldn’t change it for anything in the world, because seeing that smile of joy on my daughters’ faces gives me the strength to always keep moving forward.

Man, I gotta say, your daughters sound like absolute gems. It's pretty tough out there in the dating world, and honestly, it seems like you're doing just fine without all that drama. 🙄 I mean, I've been on my fair share of bad dates too, but those seem like a whole other level! You're right to be proud of standing by your values; not everyone appreciates someone who knows what they want in life. Speaking from experience as someone who's also had friends try to "fix" my love life with blind dates…sometimes the best company is no company at all. Keep doing you—your daughters are lucky to have such a solid dad!
- wow, what a challenging journey you've had with those dates!!! it's interesting how people react so differently to your commitment as a father. perhaps the dating scene just isn't ready for someone who values family so much—your story reminds me of that saying "good things come to those who wait" 😊 maybe it's not about finding a partner right away but enjoying the ride and learning from each experience. plus, those skills your daughters are picking up sound amazing!!!! whether it’s boxing or archery, they’re sure to be strong and independent women!! keep being that awesome dad—sometimes the unexpected comes when least anticipated 🌟
Your dedication and commitment to your daughters is truly commendable; being both a parent and a role model is no small feat. It's inspiring to see how you prioritize their well-being over everything else, which speaks volumes about your character. Perhaps this journey of dating might seem daunting now, but it could lead to something meaningful in the future—stay hopeful! 😊
Man, dating can be such a minefield these days; I totally get your frustration. As someone who's been on the receiving end of some wildly mismatched dates myself, your experiences hit close to home. It's tough out there, especially when you're juggling parental responsibilities as you do. But hey, it sounds like your daughters really cherish and support you. That's gotta be worth more than finding a random connection through a blind date; maybe focusing on that bond is where the real value lies for now 🤷♂️
It's wild how the dating world can be so hit or miss, and it's awesome that you're not settling for anything less than what aligns with your values.
You've been through quite a rollercoaster with these blind dates, and it seems like you're handling all the mismatches with grace.
Honestly, it sounds like your daughters have good intentions, but this whole blind date fiasco seems pretty misguided. 😒 While they might think they're helping you move on or find companionship, it's clear these dates are more of a hassle than anything else. Just because you're single doesn't mean you need to be thrown into the dating shark tank. It's okay to focus on what genuinely makes you happy right now—like spending quality time with your daughters and perfecting your culinary skills. Sometimes people fail to realize that not everyone needs a partner to feel complete; maybe remind them that being content in your own company is an achievement in itself. Besides, it seems like your priorities are exactly where they should be for now!
wow, what a wild ride those blind dates have been for you!!! it's amazing how you've dealt with all the nonsense thrown your way. it really takes some guts and resilience to keep your values at the forefront, especially when faced with such challenging encounters. i've gotta say, though, that unwavering commitment to raising your daughters is truly inspiring!!!!! you're setting an incredible example for them; it's so sweet they're trying to help you out, even if their matchmaking attempts aren't hitting the mark. who knows what the future holds? sometimes life has a funny way of surprising us when we least expect it 😊 just keep being that awesome dad they need, and maybe one day someone will come along who shares your values and appreciates everything you bring to the table 🌟
Navigating the dating world can indeed feel like a herculean task, especially when your priorities revolve around your daughters' well-being and their futures rather than conforming to societal pressures for companionship; stepping back to evaluate what truly enriches your life might eventually open doors you hadn't considered.
why are your daughters playing matchmaker like this? :o
sounds like you're doing a solid job raising your daughters, but honestly, throwing yourself out there on blind dates just seems like a headache; i mean, it's cool that they're trying to get you back in the game, but those experiences? yikes. if it ain't broken, why fix it? maybe give dating a rest and just keep rocking at being an awesome dad; don't let them pressure you into thinking you need more 🤔 your happiness should come first!
I must admit, this whole blind date situation seems like a bit of an unnecessary ordeal. While I understand your daughters' intentions are rooted in care, it appears these dates only create more distress rather than alleviating any loneliness you might feel. It's as if they're trying to fit you into a mold that doesn't necessarily align with who you are or what you currently need. Your fulfillment clearly comes from the life you've built with your girls, cooking up those precious family memories together. Perhaps it's time to gently remind them that there's no rush to have someone else enter your life when you're genuinely content as it is? Quality over quantity, right??
It appears that your daughters’ efforts, though well-meaning, have inadvertently exposed the unpredictable and often uncomfortable nature of modern dating. Your dedication to maintaining a stable, loving environment for your daughters is truly commendable—it's not easy to stay true to one's values in the face of societal expectations and pressures. Perhaps this exhausting experience underscores the importance of embracing patience and allowing relationships to develop organically rather than forcing them through artificial setups like blind dates. Life has a way of aligning us with the right people at the right time when we're genuinely ready for it.
It sounds like your daughters have good intentions, but maybe they’ve missed a bit of what truly makes you tick. Finding someone who meshes with your lifestyle is tough, especially when it seems like those blind dates are in a whole different realm; it's clear that being a devoted father and homemaker means more to you than anything else. It's possible your daughters see dating as a way to bring some variety into your life, but perhaps having an honest chat about what you genuinely want could save everyone some frustration. They might not realize just how content you've become within the rich tapestry of life you've woven around family, love, and support. Maybe when they understand that better, there’ll be less awkward matchmaking and more understanding all around!
