I am a little nervous...I am meeting his parents next month. Any pointers? I know that I should dress really nice the first night. Nice blouse and a skirt or slacks. I need to go shopping for nice casual clothes for the rest of the week when I spend time with his grandma and the rest of the family. HELP!!!! |

Danger, wow. I'm sorry. *pat pat* My parents a bit old-fashioned, but they would not expect you to help around the house while u were there. The most me mum would expect is to help out in the kitchen to do some of the cooking and do some dishes when the meal was over. That's it. But to answer your question tho, it is best to be yourself and as honest with them as you can. There is no need to pretend to be something to them to please his parents. It would do you any good if you are one way one moment and another way the next time they are around you. . What I mean by that is, act one way in front of them and another way while they r not around. Or do a complete 180 on them when you get married. Trust me, A lot of of my brothers wives/girlfriends have been like that. More extreme in some cases they even changed my brothers' personality and character. One of my brothers, has not been himself since after he gotten married. It frustrates me because I know he is not the person he once was. That's the worse one could get, and so do not be that way. Sorry, just in a melancholy mood. *bows respectfully*

DB, 1) don't go empty handed bring flowers, bottle of wine, or basket set of fruits... 2) be polite, respectful, don't over talk... most importantly, be yourself 3) he is korean... follow korean customs, ex: no shoes in the house, so make sure no holes in your socks, or rung out pantyhoes. LOL 4) remember you must wear something over your feet, not welcomed in bare feet. At least in my house! hehe You'll do just fine!. Best Luck to you, Break a Leg.

Db....... You will do fine! The most important thing is TO BE YOURSELF. They will love you. Their son loves you...... Christine I know, he reassured me that his parents will love me bc he does. I just want them to love me because I love him. I am going to be doubly stressed with studying for finals and meeting the parents. I hope I don't look too tired. I need to moisturize morning, noon, and night that week!!!!!

An advice of a greek man. Even i dont know the korea customs Casual clothes, not to casual, not to strength Dont talk to much, dont be silent Offer ur help to his mother always Aks ur man first if he likes something, water, food or what ever Wake up as first, go to sleep as last but always with him. And be yourself so he can loves you. When his parents will see how much he likes you, akk will be easier. Good Luck from an old greek guy. I do have the basic courtesies down, I just need to dress presentabale. It's been a while since I've had to do one of these.

Hello DB, Sweeet.. meeting the parents !  I think you shouldn't even go for shopping new clothes... by doing this you "make" this meeting more important than it is. I mean, it's an important event but don't put extra pressure. I'm sure you've got already clothes that you feel comfortable with... you know, the shirt that, secretly, brings you luck (I have my "Lucky" shirt.. LOL )Anyway... just be yourself. Best of luck. Have a beautiful day i need to get a few new business casual collared shirts.

A tip from a person who been thru 2 times meet the future in laws.. JUST BE YOURSELF..that's alright if you drop your cup or spill food on the table..or stumble when you walk  parents don't like fake future daughter in law...so just be yourself and smile alot...always remember say THANK YOU>> with a smileOH!! YEAH,,,no low cuts see thru or backless blouses or dresses and short mini skirt..you might give GRANDMA a heart failure.... GOOD LUCK!!! i can't slip up like that. i don't think i can show my true self in the initial meeting. need to make a lasting impression.

have confidence, DB. I think his parents are the ones who should be concerned about leaving good impression so that you will take care of their son for them, no?

Never go to the Parents empty handed. Always bring something! This is a rule for visiting anyone. Dress up but not overboard. A Blouse, a Pencil Skirt with sensable but feminine shoes should do it. If you feel you look better in slacks then by all means wear slacks. I think families (korean and italian etc...) are just impressed by women who embrace dresses and skirts its must be a old world thing. And just prepare yourself to enjoy the evening. Remember those parents are the original form of your guy. So he is an extenstion of their souls. Appreciate them for that... without them he wouldnt exsist. thank you.
