Dear LFTP: online date who brushes his adult daughter's hair
- A man I met online brushed his 24-year-old daughter's hair — is his interest in my long hair a red flag?
A Dear LFTP letter describes a man met online who compliments the writer's long hair and told her he brushed his 24-year-old daughter's hair at her college graduation; she finds it odd and asks the hosts' opinion. The hosts land on creepy-but-possibly-innocent, noting the man is only guilty of complimenting her hair and combing his daughter's; they joke about Seinfeld-style deal-breakers, detangler chemistry, and Rapunzel, and advise her not to move states over a man she already suspects. The 'Secular' answer (discuss it with him non-confrontationally before judging) prompts the hosts to act out how impossible that conversation would be.
