So I'm planning on talking to my gf dad today. I've been dating my girl for about two and a half years and I think it's the time to take it to the next step. I'm going to go ask for his permission to have his daughters hand in marriage. I'm a little nervous, I don't think he'll have a problem with this but still nervous. After I do this then the real hard part comes along, picking the engagement ring!
Going to talk to my gf dad!

Congrats!! I remember when I asked my father in law for his permission! Once you just get it out it's all game from there.. The mom is easy and your mom should be a breeze haha!
Congrats again brother!! And welcome to the dark side! Well almost!

It's a big question to ask! Should I ask him by himself or ask both mom and dad at the same time?
very big question, i think its more common to ask the father but i would ask both mom and dad. im actually going to this sometime in 2015 i hope.

Whatever you think is best Brother. I asked both, but it depends on who wears the pants in her family.
If her dad is the disciplinarian and major decision maker, and mom plays the traditional wife role, then just man to man. If not, consider having them both there.

Congrats! If you two have been together that long there should be no worries.

Congrats!
When he says yes, swing by Hardin Valley and we'll raid the cabinet for a couple of congratulatory smokes..
Once you buy a ring and SHE says yes (the far more important "yes".. we'll repeat the process...

Congrats! I asked my Father in Law at Thanksgiving. Told him I needed some advice on what to do with this old gazebo. We walked outside and he's just talking and talking about what to do with the gazebo. I turned to him and said, "I really don't give a shit about the gazebo but...". It's a cool story he tells every so often and I think it meant a lot that I asked him one on one.

Hell yeah!!!!! Good luck brother
I went out to my wife's dad's work one afternoon and then called him. He came running out thinking something was wrong then I popped the question. Was trembling lol but he couldn't have been happier and more honored that I went the old fashioned route. He then took me thoug through his workplace and introduced me to his co-workers telling them what just happened. Great memory! Hope the sane happens for you

Congrats brother! I found a great ring on Front Jewelers online, but that's just an option. Free shipping and no sales tax lol.
I asked neither but then again while we had known each other for a while, we had only been dating five days.
In your case, I would ask both. It would make it easier to deal with them in the long run and they would both be on board and feel better about your relationship. But I'm not a counselor and don't play on on BOTL.
