So you have been dating for a few weeks and she invites you to meet her parents. Are you nervous? If you don't have butterflies in your stomach you are nuts. This is a big step and people are taking it sooner than they used to in years past. How do you survive meeting her Mom and Dad? I had to do this not too long ago and here are the ways I made it through without getting skinned alive.Be friendly and smile.
One of the best ways to get someone to like you is to smile at them. Guys we act like smiling is about as much fun as pulling teeth. Get in front of your mirror and learn to smile. You will be surprised how far this will take you. Some of the ways first impressions are built are: how the person smiles, their body language, and whether or not you maintain good eye contact. Score an A+ in all of these areas. Meeting her parents is a lot like a job interview, only more important.Only give the parent the attention that they deserve.
If you feel one of the parents is pulling away from conversation with you don't chase them. Focus on the other people who are talking, backing away yourself. You will never catch a person who is running away from talking to you, you will only push them further away. If your conversation with the other people becomes interesting enough they will be brought back to you which is what you want.Be honest and be yourself.
Now this doesn't mean the first time you meet them that you need to tell them about your long string of felony arrests, that was me trying to get a laugh! What you do need to do is answer any questions they have honestly. If you don't this will be a disaster down the road. Be yourself, let them get to know the real you. It becomes very obvious to parents when a guy is putting on to impress them. Just be yourself, if you weren't a man of value she would have never brought you to meet them.Meeting a woman's Mom and Dad can be a little bit nerve-wracking, I mean have you ever seen the movie "Meet The Parents"? Hopefully if you follow these tips you will be successful and make a great first impression. There is a chance you will be eating Christmas dinner with these people soon, so take that into consideration!
