Oh, I know I've got a say, but she's a good kid - haven't had any real problems.
When she was home and in HS it was just the "stare" and "old man power"... usually got the job done. (except for one creep who needed an "adjustment"). Now she's away 9 months of the year - but the suitors are also "legal age". The game & tactics can escalate to a different level!!

The only time I had to play the 'Mean Dad' card was when my daughter was a senior in high school. One of the guys that 'liked' her decided he'd get her attention by spreading some untrue rumors about her. I ran into him at a high school event, and I walked up, put out my hand to shake his, and when he returned the handshake I shook his hand and held on for a long time... looked him straight in the eye, and told him that if he didn't stop spreading rumors about my daughter... I was going to stop by his house for a nice chat with his parents. He looked like he was going to wet himself while I held onto his hand. All the rumors stopped immediately. I'm sure he hasn't forgotten about that 'moment', and it was 4 years ago...

I'm afraid....
for the boys that want to date my daughters. One's a girly tom-boy and the other is a very independant and stubborn redhead.

Glad mine grew up and moved out of the house, I could finally take the shotgun out of front entry and put it back in the safe.

I have already started telling my girls how crazy Daddy is...They believe me and tell their friends that their Daddy is crazy...
Hopefully, over time, and with some occasional reinforcement, the word will get out that the Hausmann girls have a father who is not right and any contact with said girls will result in severely negative consequences.
That and a picture I took of the hole I dug out in the woods on our farm, blown up and pasted on a wall in my garage.

Finally Found It!!
TEN SIMPLE RULES FOR DATING MY DAUGHTER
RULE ONE: If you pull into my driveway and honk, you better be delivering a package because you're sure not picking anything up.
RULE TWO: Do not touch my daughter in my presence. You may glare at her adoringly, so long as you do not peer at anything below the neck. If you cannot keep your eyes or hands off my daughter I will remove them.
RULE THREE: I am aware that it is considered fashionable for boys your age to wear their trousers so loosely that they appear to be falling off of your hips. Please don't take this as an insult, but you and all of your friends are idiots. If you show up at my home with your pants falling down I will be forced to ensure that they do not come off during the course of your date with my daughter by taking my electric staple gun and fastening the pants directly to your waist.
RULE FOUR: I'm sure you've been told that sex in today's world without a "barrier device" can kill you. Let me clarify: I am the barrier, and I will kill you.
RULE FIVE: Current thinking is that in order for you and me to get to know each other, we should talk politics, sports, and other issues. Do not do this. Your ignorance and stupidity will only serve to anger me. The only information I require of you is when you will have my daughter home. To this end, you only need two words: "early" and "sir".
RULE SIX: I have no doubt that you are a popular fellow, with opportunities to date other girls. This is fine with me as long as it's okay with my daughter. Otherwise, once you've gone out with my little girl you will continue to date no one but her until she is finished with you. If you make her cry, I will make you cry harder.
RULE SEVEN: As you stand in my hallway waiting for my daughter to appear, do not sigh and fidget. If you want to be on time you should not be dating my daughter. She is doing her hair, putting on make-up, or whatever; a process that can take longer than painting the Golden Gate Bridge. Instead of just standing there, do something useful, like offer to help work on my car.
RULE EIGHT: The following places are not appropriate places to take my daughter: places with beds, sofas, or anything softer than a wooden stool - places where there are no parents, policemen, or nuns within eyesight - places that are dark or poorly lit - places where there is dancing, holding hands, or excessive happiness - places where the ambient temperature is warm enough to induce my daughter to wear anything other than overalls, a sweater, and a goose down parka zipped up to her throat - movies with a strong romantic or sexual theme. Hockey games are okay, old folks homes are better, a convent is best.
RULE NINE: Do not ever lie to me. I may appear to be a middle-aged, dim-witted has-been, but on issues relating to my daughter, I am the all-knowing God of your Universe. If I ask you where you are going and with whom, you have one chance to tell me the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. I have a shotgun, a shovel, and five acres behind the house. Do not trifle with me.
RULE TEN: Be afraid. Be very afraid. It takes very little for me to mistake the sound of your car in the driveway for a Huey coming over a rice paddy. When my PTSD starts kicking in, the voices in my head frequently tell me to clean the guns as I wait for you to bring my daughter home. As soon as you pull into driveway, you should exit your car with both hands in plain sight. Note the camouflaged face in the window is mine. Speak the perimeter password, announce in a clear voice that you have brought my daughter home safely and early, then return to your car

That's funny John. I just had to forward that to my boss, who has teenage stepdaughters.
The hell you don't!
