Acquaintance to parents – an important stage in the relations. The young man shows this step gravity of the intentions. The task of the girl is not to lose face at the first meeting.
Instruction
1. Choose the venue of a meeting with future relatives. Perhaps three options - your house, the house of parents of the groom or some neutral territory, for example restaurant. When choosing restaurant consider the financial opportunities. In order to avoid ticklish situations with bill payment specify in advance who will pay a banquet.
2. Properly think over a dress for the first meeting with the father and mother of the elect. He can be delighted with your delights in the fitting dresses. And here representatives of the senior generation will hardly approve miniskirts and transparent blouses. Therefore it is better to leave revealing dresses for communication alone.
3. Show to the groom's parents the best qualities. It is the simplest to make it in the territory. Parents will appreciate purity and a cosiness in the apartment. It are not necessary to give on a table of fillet of a squid in pesto sauce or the mussels baked with a tarragon if favourite dishes of future father-in-law – roast chicken and mashed potatoes. To avoid awkward situations, in advance ask the young man on flavoring preferences of his parents. Also do not try to master the recipe of the Uzbek pilaf loved by them directly before a dinner. All the same at you it will hardly turn out. If the cookery is not among your talents at all, transfer acquaintance to restaurant or to the house of parents.
4. Take care of gifts in honor of acquaintance. The souvenir bought in the first shop will not help establishing contact. Present to mother a pot with a rare plant, to the father – tool kit. Your young man will act as the prompter, he knows better, than to please the parents. Cosmetics, perfumery and articles of clothing – not the best gift for the first meeting. If you go on a visit, take with yourself a bottle of wine or cognac, a set of cakes or cake for a dessert.
5. You speak less, listen more. Even try to listen to hour reasonings on subtleties of subglacial fishing or features of cultivation of petunias with interest. To you good relations with parents of future husband are important. Ask mother to share the confidential recipe of cutlets which are so loved by her son.
6. Do not lean on alcoholic drinks. Alcohol loosens tongue. The groom's parents will hardly like the story that your first appointment ended with sex. Do not criticize the young man in the presence of his parents. Otherwise prior to a wedding you will turn into category of quarrelsome daughters-in-law.
