<p>Well, it is cerrtainly old fashioned, but I’m sure there are girls out there who appreciate that sort of thing. My daughter would be saying, “Who the hell does he think he is? If he wants to date me, he needs to ask ME.” I tend to agree but more with the order – if a boy asked my daughter whether she would want to do xyz, then asked me for permission (after her ‘yes’), I would be favorably impressed. However, if he asked her father instead (unless he happened to answer the phone), I would be really irritated!</p>
