How to survive first-time jitters?
|
Meeting your parent-in-laws is like a job interview. The whole time you just know that you are being scrutinised. You only hope that you are making a good impression. So keep an open mind when you go to meet your new family for the first time.
First impressions matter
Hey gal, this guy must be serious if he wants you to meet his parents. But remember first impression is very important. If his parents take a dislike to you on your first encounter they may never accept you and if they do it could take a long time.
Get an idea from your mate ahead of time about how things work in his/her home. If it's real formal, you need to know so you can beef up your table etiquette. Plus, you'll need to know how to dress. Casual for a casual family. Dressy for a more formal family.
Maintain eye contact so that you are aware of the vibes they have of your behavior.
Show no fear
Remind yourself of all your best qualities. Your confidence is bound to shine through, and make you seem smarter, funnier, and more engaging than all those who came before you.
A small token
Whether you're stopping by for 10 minutes or staying for dinner, bringing a gift will make you seem thoughtful and considerate.
The laws of meeting your potential in-laws
- Girls meeting their in-laws for the first time must try not to dress too provocatively nor dress like a nun.
- Bring a small gift for the hosts.
- Don't overstay your welcome.
- Do not engage in political or religious arguments.
- Be polite.
