To make a good impression on your boyfriend's parents, you need to use a few tricks!
Steps
Step 1. Greet his parents with a smile and a compliment
Try to be nice and polite. The first impression is very important. The kinder you are, the more they will want to spend time with you.
Step 2. Wear something special that makes you feel more confident
Confidence improves conversation skills, but be careful not to dress too provocatively. A neckline that is too bold or dresses that are too tight may not make a good impression. Avoid wearing too much makeup, it's best to be as natural as possible when meeting family.
Step 3. Ask smart questions, talk about politics and entertainment
Show them that you are not just a pretty girl with little substance. If they ask you about your academic performance, be honest; don't pretend to be a model student if your grades aren't high.
Step 4. Listen to what they say and try to think before answering, but don't act like a know-it-all
You have to look smart, not obnoxious.
Step 5. Try to let them know how comfortable you are with their child, and what a wonderful person he is
This part should be the easiest.
Step 6. Be yourself
Don't try to be someone you're not. You wouldn't impress your boyfriend or his parents.
Step 7. Thank them
Make sure you tell them that you are happy to have met them, thank them for inviting you to their house, for cooking for you etc. You need to be sure they approve of you.
Advice
- Relax and be yourself. There is no reason to be nervous. If you are, take a couple of deep breaths and try to calm down.
- If your boyfriend has siblings, be nice to them too, help them with their homework or something else, show that you are good with children.
- If he has siblings, make sure you get along well.
- Bring a gift for his mother. You will conquer it. It doesn't have to be expensive or fancy. Just something small and cute, like a cream or a lotion with delicate scents. A candle might be fine too. In this case it is the thought that counts, not the gift itself.
Warnings
- Don't wear a miniskirt or too low-cut top. You would give the wrong impression.
- Don't put on airs. Avoid giving orders to your boyfriend or complaining about nonsense.
- Don't go overboard with your makeup. Having too much makeup, or wearing too much jewelry, could make you look like a hard person to please.
