Be yourself.
The most important rule of first acquaintance with the parents of your half is to be natural and not to try to appear as who you really are not. Of course, the desire to show oneself from the best side and make a pleasant impression is natural. But it is important not to overdo it. Do not write stories about yourself, any lie can eventually unfold.
Particularly stupid is a person who tries to adjust to the expectations of parents, especially if it is the complete opposite of their ideas about the ideal companion for their child. In the end, it is important that you have relationships with your loved one, and relations with your parents should be if not friendly, at least just polite and even.
Do not try to become a member of their family from the doorway, just calmly communicate, answer truthfully the questions and do not try to hide the embarrassment behind the ostentatious obtuseness.
Not with empty hands.
Well, if you come for the first time with a small, but nice gift. Do not buy expensive things or things of an intimate nature: decorations, clothes, cosmetics. It is a good idea to present a bouquet of flowers to the mother of your chosen one and bring a wine or something to tea. Usually this is enough.
So you show your respectful attitude to the people who came to visit.
Appearance.
We all know that they meet people on clothes. Acquaintance with the parents of a loved one is a slightly different case. They probably already heard something about you from the mouth of their baby, asked questions, perhaps they saw pictures. Therefore, do not throw dust into the eyes of a dazzling appearance, this is not the case when you need to demonstrate all the dignity of your figure.
Dress simply and tastefully. Let these be the most ordinary things that suit you. Nothing screaming and defiant, nothing shocking should be worn on you. Do not make a bright make-up or extreme hair. The more natural you will be, the better your impression.
Communication.
The purpose of such invitations is always the same - to get to know you better and to form an opinion on whether you are worthy to be near your favorite child. Therefore, you will have to communicate. Listen carefully to what you are told, do not skip past the ears, some facts that are clearly valued or proud of the hosts of the evening. Answer the questions and ask. Sincerely be interested in everything that you are told.
However, it is important not to cross the line. Do not ask personal questions or questions that can offend, compromise, or otherwise hurt anyone. Do not provoke people who may become your relatives.
Telling about yourself, avoid boasting. Do not focus on your successes and achievements, do not talk about yourself, but about you-about how much a person means to you, to whose parents you came to visit.
Possible difficulties.
No one is immune from unpleasant situations. It may happen that you do not like the parents of a loved one. In that case, do not enter into conflict, do not try to immediately change their opinion - most likely, you will only get worse. Give them time to get used to the idea that you are in the life of their child and this does not change. Give them a chance to make sure that you really love, that you want their child only good and worthy even of respect. If the relationship does not improve even after a while, still be polite to the relatives of the one you love. Do not conflict, but if conflicts are inevitable, just avoid contact.
Usually future relatives are not as scary people as we imagine. They are worried about their child, but do not want evil. So do not worry ahead of time. Most likely, your relationship will be even, because much depends on you.
