Top 10 Ways To Impress Her Father
|
 You could be Prince William himself and yet the fact remains - you'd never be good enough for his little girl. Fathers can rarely accept that their babies have grown up and a good-for-nothing- lazy-son-of-a-so-and-so (that's you by the way!) is going to get his paws on her - literally!
Another fact of life - if her father doesn't like you things are going to get pretty sticky at family reunions. Remember what happened to Ben Stiller in Meet The Parents?
This is why it's necessary to be on the good side of the 'most important' man in your better half's life. And we tell you how.
Slow and subtle does it: He's heard about you and you've heard about him for a long time. Now that you're finally meeting, don't imagine you can have him eating out of your hand - at least not so fast. Take it slow and subtle and watch how it goes instead of trying to chat him up. Slow warming up will mean more time to score with her dad.
No PDAs please: Please, please don't hug or kiss or anything with him or other members of his family - especially not his daughter (your fiancée) - for the first few meetings at least. Rest assured, he needs to know that you're not the slick oily types and the last thing he needs is to be reminded that you and his daughter are going to be 'doing IT'.
Buy a gift with thought: Well, you have to take something for him! If he's the finicky type, your girlfriend's there to help you out with this. But personal gifts and toiletries are not the thing to give. A book if he reads or videos if he likes, movies or maybe an artifact will do. Do your research carefully and then gift him what you know he cannot help but like.
Be positive and warm: He can give you cold vibes, spy on you and even stab you in the back - he can do whatever he feels like. But much as you want to, you cannot do the same. If he's sarcastic and not very warm, make sure you keep responding positively no matter what. She's judging you, remember?
Draw him out: Trying to talk about his passions like horse-racing or playing chess may not be right, at first. He'll be on guard and will think you are too slick and know how to charm people. May be that's what you've done with his simple daughter! So, instead you can talk about the news, current happenings or maybe even a cricket match that you saw recently, if he likes the game too. He will be drawn out gradually and you can move on to other topics then.
