Introduction
The Boy, who you like, has proposed you and now that boy wants you to meet his parents. The meeting between you and his parents is not normal meeting, but very much special. This indicates that your relation with that boy is very special. If you want to win the heart of his Mother – father then you need to take care of above things which I am going to discuss.
Dress Selection should be appropriate
First impression is not at all the last impression, but the first time meeting with other does give an image of our self. For the first meeting, you should forget the fancy dress from your wardrobe and rather you should choose good clothes which represent your personality as well as give you a smart look. Salwar Kameez is good option to wear in the first meeting. Now a day’s girls even wear leggings and in that they look good. So, you can also try leggings.
Don’t forget to take gift for them
You are going to meet them first time, so you should not go empty handed. Parents should feel that you have a lot of respect for them. Take out your precious time and go with your partner to buy gift for them. Gift should be such which should be useful for them. Don’t try to buy a costly or any fancy type, but according to yourself, buy clothes or any other gift which should be useful and attractive. They should not feel that with expensive gift you are going to impress them.
Count this meeting as if your first job interview
For you this meeting is to win the heart of the Parents. So, take this meeting as a job interview. Prior to this meeting, you should do your homework, like you should know more and more information of his parents. And who would be better to get this information than your partner? Collect more and more information from your partner, about his parents. You should also know the Culture of them. You should collect some information about their liking- un-likings. So, they you can understand on what kind of topics you should talk with them? And on what kind of topics you shouldn’t talk?
Talk about yourself
After greeting them, you should allow them to take the initiative to start the conversation with you. In every relation closeness falls very slowly. So, that’s why in the starting of the conversation you should avoid been too close to them and also you shouldn’t sit silent. If it is possible, you should try to know about them from their talk only. When the conversation reaches at such a stage, where you feel comfortable talking with them, then, this is the stage where you can start talking about yourself. Talking about yourself could sometimes feel uncomfortable, but you should not make them feel that you are hiding something about yourself. This kind of conversation can be strange, so the best way to feel comfortable while talking about you would be a quick rehearsal with your life partner.
Don’t have every talk very straight
During the Conversation between you and your life partner’s parents, most of the conversation will revolve around your life partner. While you are sharing the experiences of yourself and your life partner, you would curious to know more and more information about life partner. But you should be careful that you don’t ask about anything which is not appropriate. Parents would be happy to hear all the good and bad things which happened in college life from you. So, to give the respect to your life partner, you should know to survive from such questions asked by his parents.
Don’t disclose everything to parents
If this is your love marriage then it is obvious that you would know everything about your life partner from the button of shirt to the food which he likes to eat. But be careful that you should not be excited or curious to tell these things to his parents. You should understand that they know their child very well than you. You should also not try to show that you know better than them. This could hurt them. So, very steadily talk in the right direction.
Father knows everything
During the Conversation sitting beside your life partner is good, but you should hold his hands. This could force them to think in wrong direction. You should never try to hug your life partner in front of his parents. Now a day’s though hugging has become common, but still in your first meeting you should avoid. Mom- Dad is not fool and they know better than you what nuisances you do when you are sitting close to each other? It is better than you sit very quietly in front of them.
See everything from their eyes
It is not necessary that in front of his parents, he disclose that how much love he does? It is possible that he may be arrogant and moody type in his behavior. This can make you little uncomfortable but don’t worry a lot till the things go worse. If in front of his parents, you partner don’t behave in good manner, then while returning to your home, you should call him and say that your behavior was not good. In front of his parents, how he behaves is not very important?
Forget the past
It is possible that your life partner would had loved someone before you, and would had brought that girl to his house. So, you should understand that she was his past and you are his present. He is would had forgotten his past relationships. If his parents are telling about your life partner’s past relationships, then don’t listen them and change the topic. Just believe that he only loves you and his parents love him.
More opportunities do come
If your first meeting is not so good, then you shouldn’t worry much about this meeting. It may be possible that during your first meeting you are not able to impress his parents. Their parents might take more time to come close to you. They might be shy to talk with you and you may too feel shy to talk with them. Always remember that there is always a second opportunity.
