And the other way around, of course? 🙂 I’m going to meet my new boyfriend’s family for the first time tomorrow, and I’m a bit anxious, although I’m sure it’ll go well. My boyfriend hasn’t officially met my family yet either, but he briefly met my Bonus mom a few days ago, and they went along pretty well. I think it helps that they’re both from the same city. 😆

They will adore you, Anita. ❤️

KaraZor-El Hopefully. 🙂 Maybe I should bring my “little” sister along, just in case. 😆

Pultost Hopefully. 🙂 Maybe I should bring my “little” sister along, just in case. 😆 Tall order. 😉

To the question, I was sooooooooooooooooo nervous meeting her parents. They are rather conservative, so…. yea you can imagine why. 😮 🌈 But it turned out fine and i feel accepted. ❤️

These meetings almost always go over better than expected. When I have a new gf and she’s meeting my family, I make sure it’s some casual event, where there are lots of people and the focus isn’t on her. A BBQ, rather than a sit down dinner. A short family hike, if everyone is into that (not that the family should be short, but the hike should be 😉). I remember reading an essay about the first meeting of the gf’s family and the bf’s family. The gf’s family was quite wealthy and upper class. The bf’s family was blue collar, working class. To try and make the bf’s family feel comfortable, her father let the air out of one of the car tires. When the bf’s family arrived, he asked the dad to help him change the tire. That broke the ice. With my past gf’s, I either knew the family because we lived in the same area, or had interacted in a casual way previously. My current gf was different. I had the formal dinner with them. I was just myself. With time they would get to know me, so why fake it in the beginning. I kept in mind that while family acceptance is important, ultimately it’s her acceptance that really matters. I was a bit stressed, but not terribly. Her meeting my family was by bits and pieces, as mostly they didn’t live in this area. It went fine. I’m sure you’ll do alright. Remember, you’re a guest in their home. It’s their job to make you feel comfortable. Let us know how it goes, if you feel like sharing that.

I’ve only met his parents and one of his sisters once. But it seemed to go well. He has a brother that lives here that I have met a few times. And he has one other sister that I haven’t met.

I think we both get along with each other’s parents. I’ve been around his parents a handful of times, and just went to a cookout at his house a few days ago 🍔

Yes i get on with his and he gets on with mine

I was nervous meeting his parents (and one of his siblings) for the first time a couple of weeks ago but they were really nice and they seemed to like me. He has just met my mum briefly when she picked me up from university but he made a good impression 😁

Do you get along with your better half's family?

Yes, just spent 2 weeks with them after evacuating from the hurricane until the school reopened

HeyCameron

Yes. I admit I was a bit intimidated to meet them, just because his dad’s a teacher and his mom’s a lawyer, they’re both very educated and high-brow and I thought they might be a little uptight (compared to my parents who are super laidback), but they seem to like me and I’ve been over to his house several times now. They like talking to me and find me intelligent, so that’s a plus. 😅 And for the reverse, yes, my parents love my boyfriend, but I knew they would.

Hell yeah, I have been in a relationship with my boyfriend since October 13, 2023. I sometimes think his parents like me more than they like him. 🙂
