Some helpful tip's when meeting the boyfriends parents for the first time

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    I know how nerve wrecking it is to meet the boyfriends parents for the time, but honestly it's not that hard just follow some of these simple steps and you should be in circle of trust.

  2. Step 2

    when meeting the parents at there home for a party make sure to smile and greet them with a nice simple but firm hand shake (note: when hand shaking make sure no sweaty palms and try not to squeeze to hard)and look them in the eye' s, parents now when people are being phony so be as sincere as possible despite how nervous you are.

  3. Step 3

    make your rounds to the rest of the family with the same demander as when you met the parents although you might get out of shaking everyone else's hand' s just because it might be a large party which is a good thing.

  4. Step 4

    If you are offered any thing to eat, the respectful thing to do is say "yes I would, thank you" (note: most family's will offer you food or a beverage, even if you not so hungry or thirsty just take it trust me)

  5. Step 5

    After your finished with the family dinner offer to help with clean up in the kitchen even if they say "no that's ok" just offer one more time to show them you willing to help, or better yet just pick up your boyfriends and your plate and offer(note: mother's love to see there son's girlfriends arnt lazy and are willing to clean)

  6. Step 6

    If they do decide that they need your help in the kitchen and start to ask question' s while you helping them clean (away from the comfort of your boyfriend) then just make the anwsers short and sweet and never give to much info about your personal life with or with out your boyfriend because most family's talk after everyone's left especially if your the new comer to the family.

  7. Step 7

    at the end of the night tell them how nice the party was and that you had a wonderful time the food was great so on and so fourth all while smiling at this point you might be expected to give a hug, just hug them gracefully and with sincerity and you are in.

Tips & Warnings
  • dress appropriate (no porno cleavage or short mini skirts)
  • not to much makeup or perfume
  • smile a lot
  • be interested in there conversations with you
  • look them in the eyes but not like a crazy person (lol)
  • offer to help out with serving or cleanup
