Dude, you are putting your penis in his little girl. If he's anything like my dad, he probably still sees her as just leaving on her first day of kindergarten, and you're messing with that mental image.

My fiance is a really good guy. He is polite, a good conversationalist, doesn't smoke and rarely drinks, has a Master's degree and a good job, loves and helps out his family, and treats me like a princess. And my dad took years to find anything positive to say about him. It was always something critical -- because he likes video games, or because he has an accent, or because he took too long to finish his degree (after serving in the military!). With my brother and his girlfriend, it's that he's not Jewish. With my best friend and his gf, it's that he's white. No matter what the situation, he will find a reason to disapprove, and over time he will get over it.

People's feelings do change, slowly, with time. Not always for the best, though -- my mom's parents loved my dad at first (mostly because he wasn't at all a hippie or a draft-dodger), and now he and my grandmother can barely have a polite conversation.
