Me and my girlfriend have been together roughly 6 months and I'm going out to dinner with her parents next week and I'm kind of nervous about it. I don't know why but whenever it comes to meeting a girlfriend's parents I don't look forward to it because I feel like I'm going to be judged. Does anyone have any tips or anything to deal with the situation. I'm kind of shy so I don't know what I'm going to talk about and stuff. Please mature and serious answers only.
EVERYONE is going to judge you. It ca't be helped.
My ex girlfriend's father hated my guts, and I never actually met him. But he was an illiterate, angry, violent drunk, so that was HIS malfunction. He was an ass.
Just don't be crass in front of them, or talk about how often your shtooping their daughter (if you are). Be a cool guy, be yourself, but give them respect, even if they're jackasses. Don't kiss up to them, don't be phoney. And remember, you're dating their daughter, and not them. If they get out of lne, defend yourself, and do it with tact and class. You're golden, anyway.
It's like a date (all the polite stuff), but you're not interested in the parents, so it's no big deal. If you keep building it up into something, then it will seem bigger than it is, and you'll make yourself more nervous than you have to be.
I hope you have the worst of luck, and I hope they never want to see you again, and I hope you break a leg. (In show business, that actually means I'm wishing you really good luck).
