You have been dating your boyfriend for long enough and he wants to introduce you to his parents. This is truly an important step! Guys see it as a milestone in a relationship. The next step is to make sure his parents like you as much as he likes you and get off on the right foot.
Steps
Step 1. Be on time
If you were invited to a picnic in the park at 3:00, do not show up at 3:30. You may even arrive a little early.
Step 2. Be casual
Don't try to impress them by overwhelming them with information about how good a student you are, the best player on your volleyball team, or the lead actress of the school theater group. If these themes come up during the conversation, you can smile and say, "Yes, I like studying" or "I love sports" or "I really like acting". You can also use your interests to create an opportunity for another meeting with them. Offer to help them refresh their memories of that school subject they loved, suggest a friendly game after dinner, or invite them to your play. In summary, don't center the conversation on yourself, find out about their interests.
Step 3. Be talkative
Most parents will be pleased to know that their son has chosen a girl not just because of her appearance. They want to know that it's not just a beautiful figurine that wastes their time. Whether you are invited to dinner with them or if you bump into them on the street, start a simple conversation to show that you really are an interesting person.
Step 4. Flatter them
It might seem like a bit of a lick attitude but even the smallest things, like laughing (but not exaggerating) at their jokes, will give the impression that you are a friendly person and they will start to like you more, even if they are initially wary.
Step 5. Wear simple clothes
No parent wants to see their precious son come home from school hugging a girl in a miniskirt, wedges and a top that sports a vulgar lower back tattoo. This does not mean that you have to show up with a schoolgirl dress, a nineteenth-century bonnet and grandmother's shoes. A pair of jeans, pants or a knee-length skirt will do. Pair them with a t-shirt, shirt or choose a nice dress. Also make sure that the thong is not sticking out of the pants and that the bra straps are too visible.
Step 6. Speak politely
Swearing "won't" make a good impression on them. Nor to talk about that "cool rave" you went to the other night or your "hilarious" story about that time you made drawings on the face of your friend who passed out from drinking too much. That cute anecdote about your little dog and the kind answers to their questions, on the other hand, will win them over.
Step 7. Remember your manners
It might sound too simple but parents will like the fact that you help them clear out, that you can keep a polite conversation, or at least say thank you and please. Don't chew with your mouth open and don't hit the dinner table before we've all taken our seats. You might also consider bringing a small gift such as chocolates or sweets.
Step 8. The most important rule of all:
don't kiss your boyfriend passionately in front of his parents. Use common sense. A peck on the cheek or a mold on the lips is fine, but nothing more.
Step 9. Be yourself
Yes, it's a cliché, but no one wants to see their child dating a "perfect" but fake girl. They want him to see a nice girl, help him cook some dinner and have fun shooting a few hoops with him. Really, be yourself. Your boyfriend and his parents will love you for who you are.
