Things To Do When You Visit Your Fiancé Parent by Nobody: 9:16am On May 05, 2015 |
[b]So maybe you’re a little nervous about meeting the parents and that’s ok. They say anything worthwhile should make us a little nervous. However, it’s important that you realize that your boyfriend likes you for who you are and this is not a time to start being fake or put on false pretenses. If you can stay relaxed and not focus on yourself, you’ll have a good time. Focus on making the first meeting fun for everyone and think of it as meeting potential lifelong friends. It’s not about impressing them, it’s about being nice, considerate and getting to know them so you can understand your mate better. Here are a few tips that will help you not offend them when you do get together. Don’t worry, just keep in mind that our actions are the strongest way we communicate. Put Your Phone Down Remember, your boyfriend’s parents did not grow up in the cell phone era. They will be offended if you spend half of the night texting on your phone. Use some common sense and realize that it’s best to leave your phone alone for this. Many people have a technology addiction and seek comfort in their phone. Cell phones have become a temporary release from society and it’s important that we let go of this handicapping habit. You will enjoy your time more if you remain fully present and look them in the eye instead of looking on Instagram. Remember To Say Thank You Plan on being grateful. You want to show your appreciation if they buy you dinner or cook you dinner. Be complimenting in a genuine way and don’t make things up. You want to show them you appreciate them taking their time out of their day to meet you and it’s nice to tell them that you were excited to meet them too! Don’t be afraid to express yourself and how happy you are that you and your boyfriend are at this point in your relationship. Ask Your Boyfriend About Them It’s important to find out if there is any family drama you should know about. Ask your boyfriend if there are subjects you shouldn’t bring up so you know where any touchy areas are. If his parents are extremely religious or political, this is something you should know. This will just help you from blurting out something innocently that might touch upon a sore spot. If they have different life views than you and your boyfriend, that will be something that you should be sensitive to. Don’t Be Late Be sure to leave extra time for any last minute things that might come up so you’re not rushing at the last minute. Don’t show up late because it shows that you don’t really care that much. Make sure you know how to get there and you leave enough time for traffic. Showing consideration by being on time is a good way to make a nice impression. It shows you’re responsible and can follow through with your word. It also shows you respect their time as well. Dress Appropriately Make sure you choose your clothing tastefully. Don’t wear something you feel uncomfortable in but make sure you look classy. Your clothes should be clean. Your hair should be neat and your fingernails should be clean. Put in a little extra effort to make sure you are put together so they see that you care about yourself. When a parent sees that you take pride in yourself they are more likely to trust you with their son. If you show up looking sloppy, it indicates that your life is disheveled and they might be less inclined to support the relationship[/b] |
