Oh my God! This terrible day has come - the man has invited you to meet his parents! This meeting is definitely one of the most important in your life. But what to talk to them about, how to put on makeup and what, in the end, to wear?
Appearance
Of course, you need to make the first impression correctly, because you will no longer have the opportunity to correct it. Dressing for a meeting with a guy's parents should be neat and restrained: do not get carried away with jewelry, accessories and bright makeup. Of course, if in everyday life you don't get out of jeans, you shouldn't come in a strict gray skirt suit either, but remember about moderation.
So, give up bright and overly defiant cosmetics, crazy lacquered bouffants and radioactive hair. Try to look as natural as possible. It is important for your boyfriend's parents to understand that he is dating a good girl, and not with some weird person in ripped jeans and a pierced navel.
How to behave
Of course, meeting a man's parents is stressful for a girl. After all, if a loved one decided to show his chosen one to mom and dad, his intentions are quite serious. No matter how trite it may sound, try to be natural - it always captivates. If you have never read the poets of the Silver Age in your life, you should not try to talk about Tsvetaeva's work, and even with the air of a connoisseur. Believe me, it's better to honestly and simply admit that you don't really like poetry than to get into a very awkward situation.
Don't try to help your mom cook or wash the dishes. You can only offer your help unobtrusively, but don't go overboard. Firstly, you, after all, are not obliged to behave like a member of the family, and, secondly, a man's mother should not feel a competitor in you. No matter how nice, economic and hard-working you are, if you start to overshadow her - the main woman in the life of a precious son - you will find yourself on the black list.
Also, do not show too explicitly the attitude towards your young man in front of his parents. That is, if he takes your hand, of course, you do not need to pull it out, but kissing passionately with tongues at the dinner table is highly undesirable. Remember, you are a decent girl.
Little secrets
For the first acquaintance with a man's parents, you can prepare a small gift, if this, of course, is appropriate. In this case, flowers, a box of chocolates or a bottle of wine on the table will be universal. Speaking of wine, even if you know how to drink and are able to drain the bottle yourself and without consequences, you should not demonstrate this skill to your parents. Better to stop at one glass.
