The Do’s and Dont’s of Meeting the Parents
Whether you just started dating or have been in a relationship for months, meeting your boyfriend’s or girlfriend’s parents for the first time can seem like an extremely daunting task. After all, what happens if they don’t like you" Thoughts like this can get out of hand quickly. As such, it’s best to avoid them when possible. There is no sense in fretting over a possibility; wait until you have actually met the people!
It is important to remember, however, that first impressions last. If you are serious about this relationship, you will want to make the first interaction with their parents a good one. While it’s impossible to account for everything, the following do?s and don?ts can help you make a positive impression that will last. Do: Dress Appropriately
Dressing appropriately means different things in different situations. Take time to consider where and when the meeting is supposed to take place. Base what you wear on these factors. It’s also a good idea to ask your significant other what they’re wearing as a gauge.
Do: Be on Time
Being 15 minutes late (or early) is not fashionable. Try very hard to arrive as close to the designated time as possible. That said, if you know you are running late, make sure you communicate this openly with your significant other. Let him or her know where you are, why you are running late, and what time you do expect to arrive. Everyone involved will appreciate having this information.
