As the father of a thirty five year - old daughter, I have some experience. The golden rule is as follows.

Dont ever let her know if you like any boyfriend, that will ensure his rapid departure. On no account show any dislike for any boyfriend; you will end up related to him. When she comes in saying "Dad! It's great! He's wonderful!!" just smile and nod and say, "That's nice Dear." When she comes home in tears cursing him for the bastard that she thinks he is, nod and smile sympathetically and say "Oh dear, Dear."

That's it. You are now fully equipped!
