Meeting the parents

[WCF]

Ok, so we know how to talk to the girl now. But how about meeting her parents?

I've been hanging out with this girl lately, but we haven't started dating for several reasons... the biggest one probably being her parents. Her sibblings have had a bad history with this sort of stuff and by now, dating is nearly off-limits for the girl unless its a group date. Anyway, I figure if I met her parents one day and could convince them I was a pretty decent guy, they would allow it to happen.

And this is where my problem is. How do I talk to parents? I've seen them once before, and it was just a "Hey, nice to meet you. How are you doing?" sort of thing. I'd like to be able to engage in conversation with them without being too boring and asking them about their job or the weather or whatnot. Common sense would say that this sort of stuff should come naturally... but it seems a bit different with parents. I'm here to make a good impression and I don't want to look like I'm drooling over this girl and freak 'em out. Topics are difficult since I don't know them at all.

So any advice guys? Thanks in advance

To be honest, I pretty much talk to people's parents like I talk to any other adult, that I wanna impress. Make sure I'm tidy looking, and don't talk like I'm drinking with a bunch of mates. In all my experiences i've never had to actually start conversation, they have always kind of started it themselves, and if they want to know what kind of person you are they definitely will. I suppose you can only impress some people so much.

Yeah, it's awkward but you just gotta do what you think you should do, to not look like an idiot, it's really pretty obvious what to do really, there no special trick or anything that i've heard of.

i have an easier time talking to girls in small sets...and parents than i do with a big group of guys

talking ot teachers and parents is simple..
as long as you don't come off as a drug user, dumbass, jackass..you should be ok
but if you want them to like you...try and do a little research before you meet them...for example, this one girl i was interested in had a parent who was one of the top business lawyers in the state..so i did a little research on his current major case...they'll love you for it...talk about regular things too...sports, news...weather won't get you anywhere...maybe some books you've read...or philosophies..naturally i love talking about these things..so it's easy for me to bring up a conversation

the only difference between talking with parents and your friends is..

1. don't swear
2. don't talk about stupid things...like whether you like girls who have an apple shape vs pear shape...jacked off lately...anything inappropriate
3. they enjoy quality vs. quantity...with your friends or girls you can talk about a hundred random things for a couple minutes...but most teachers/parents i talk to enjoy talking about one thing and getting deep into it...because they are generally more interested in your ideas and how you think rather than being entertained...cause that is essentially more entertaining in itself
4. make sure you're sitting or standing comfortably..don't slouch though..but don't sit straight up if you're uptight when you do...perhaps lean forward with your forearms on your knees...just something comfortable


really..it's not that hard

Wow. That's exactly how I talk to all strangers.

You say yes ma'am or no ma'am and you shut the fvck up..































Naw, just have a smile, shake their hands, look them in the eye, and be well mannered. They will be the ones mainly asking about you so.. Tell them what they want to hear.

Or their parents are really cool and you got nothing to worry about.

you talk to strangers that way?...strangers don't give a **** about what your 5 year plan is..they only ask about your 5 minute plan and they'll forget even that after the 5 minutes pass
