Most protective fathers do not relish the thought of their daughter bringing home her first boyfriend.

But one was faced with an extra dilemma after discovering that his teenage daughter has embarked on a relationship with his 40-year-old best friend.

Reddit user KommanderTom asked fellow users what he should do about the unconventional pairing, and fellow posters warned him that he should be very concerned and urged him to find out when the relationship first began.

A man has asked the internet for advice after his best friend, 40, started dating his 18-year-old daughter (picture posed by models)

Several commenters blasted the friend for the inappropriate relationship, calling him 'perverted'.

And one pointed out that he would be worried about how long the friend had been 'lusting after' his teenager daughter, and questioned if the relationship had been going on secretly for quite some time.

Another user pointed out that there's no law against an 18-year-old dating whoever they like, and that perhaps it was the girl who made the first move.

However, others disagreed saying that as the adult in the situation the friend should not have entertained her advances.

Commenters warned the father that he should be concerned about when the relationship first started and said that the 40-year-old man should have known better than to get involved

Many people were put off by the fact that the friend is now having a sexual relationship with someone he saw growing up and first knew as a child.

One compared it to her feelings towards her own friends children, and said that she feels motherly towards them and couldn't see that turning sexual once they're 18.

Naturally the father was advised to have a long talk with his daughter.

But, somewhat harshly, he was told that if his daughter thinks it's a good idea to have a relationship with a 40-year-old then it might be too late to start instilling different values in her.

Other people shared their own stories to although they probably didn't do much to reassure him.
