I have a really promising date on at the same day/time as my Dad's birthday dinner. This is the only time this week we can do and I would be worried about pushing it another week.
What do I do?
you want to bail on your pops for the possibility of getting laid? yeah. go ahead then. he deserves it for raising a son like you.
>prioritising a girl you barely know over your father
Unless you're estranged from your father, you're a shit son for doing this. Surely he didn't raise you like this.

Six months from now you won't even remember the girl's name. But you will feel bad forever for blanking your father.

Go say hi to dad, buy him a present, stick around for dinner, 45 minutes or so, make sure you're social and friendly. Say you have something to do early the next morning (uni assignment, stock take at work, help a friend move, online portion of new job interview, whatever, it's your lie) and bail.
Tell the girl it's your dad's birthday dinner and you're gonna have to push your date back a week. She'll think you're less desperate than you actually are and become more interested in you.

Literally this. If she rejects a later date then shes not worth it anyways.

If it were my dad I'd go speak to him and ask if its ok if I reschedule, because Id accidentally double booked myself abd this smoking hot chick wants to see me.
I reckon my dad would understand, especially if she is hot and I showed him a picture of her. "Give her one for me" and all that
And then I'd make sure I make it up to my dad someway, make sure to call on the day, get him a card and nice present, go out just you and him another day etc.
Thank you all for your input
