If she's a skank, what is your father?

So tell him. Gently and without malice or judgment, but just say "Dad, I think it's great you're having such a good time but I would rather not become connected to the women you date. When you break up with them I often have to deal with their questions and worrying and I'd rather not be in that position. So I won't be friending them on facebook anymore. But I hope you continue to have a great time."

Then just say no.

Your dad is a grown-up. He might take this much easier than you're fearing. But you need to be grown-up enough to handle it.

As wonderful as my father is, he is addicted to dating.
When he is single, he obsessively combs through dating sites looking for women.
He is always on the phone with different women. It gets so bad that when I do see him, he either tunes me out while looking at the dating sites or he is on the phone talking to the flavor of the day. It is ALL he talk about.

He met a woman that he liked about 2 weeks ago. He is already talking about moving closer to her and meeting her family.
He asked me to add this woman (who I haven't met) as a Facebook friend.
I don't want to. This has happened so many times before.
He meets someone, gets way too serious too soon, they become his entire life and then he loses interest after 6 months.
I then have the privilege of having these women hound me on FB asking me to talk to my father for them, asking me what happened and if my father has told me anything about it.
I vowed after the last time that I wouldn't go through this again.
I've never told my dad how much this bothers me.
I don't want to hurt him but I don't want to meet her or have her as a FB friend.
I have a good life and am happy. I don't need this aggrivation.
Is there a way to get out of this without hurting him?
