Meeting The Family

[Jazzy]

I have been dating a guy for just over a month now. His family (Mother, Father, and Brother) are coming to visit him for a week. They are due to arrive on Sunday. He has asked me to come over to meet all of them. I am really nervous about this. What if they all don't like me? Have you ever been in this situation?

 

[Nebulous]

Yeah but I don't get nervous. Whatever happens will happen. No biggie.

 

[Cranos]

Yeah, I don't get nervous anymore. I figure I've probably seen the worst father already, so it can only get better.

 

[Evil Eye]

A month already? How time flies...

Anyway, you'll do fine!

 

[Jazzy]

That's one of the problems I have with this family meeting. It's only been a little over a month and it's not like I'm planning on marrying the guy. I feel it's too soon but I don't want to hurt his feelings.

 

[Flurry]

I have yet to go through this situation. But I don't see why its too soon though. I doubt they would be expecting the two of you to get married just after a month of dating. And I'm sure they would like you. What's not to like?

 

[Jazzy]

Aww, thank you very much Sci for your kind words!

 

[Flurry]

Ah no prob! Happy to be of some help in some form.

 

[Sinon]

I've dealt with that situation. But really, who gives a crap? You're dating him, not his family.

 

[Jazzy]

I would think if a family didn't like you, it could have a negative impact on a relationship.

 

[Sinon]

Not for me. My boyfriend's parents fucking hate me lol, because I'm a college drop-out, so I'm obviously a dumb bimbo who's only after him for his money, etc etc.



Despite the fact I earn more than him, am older, have more qualifications, etc etc.

I think it would only have a negative impact if you let it have that sort of impact.

 

[Corleone]

It's normal to be nervous, but don't let it get to you. Just be yourself. When I met my girlfriend's family I was nervous, but I knew if I stayed true to myself I wouldn't have to worry about them not liking me, because I wouldn't give them a reason not to. Just be you and that's all you can do.

Everything will go fine!

 

[Jazzy]

Thank you everyone who responded. Tonight is the night and I'll let you know how it goes.

 

[Flurry]

Thank you everyone who responded. Tonight is the night and I'll let you know how it goes.

So, how'd it go?

 

[Jazzy]

So, how'd it go?

It went very well with the exception of his brother trying to hit on me.

I'm glad his brother only visits once a year! His mom and dad are very nice people and I felt like I knew them for a long time.

 

[Evil Eye]

See, you did great!

 

[Flurry]

Seriously? What kind of brother does that to his brother!? Glad it went well despite that though!

 

[Jazzy]

Seriously? What kind of brother does that to his brother!?

I was warned ahead of time about his brother. He thinks he's Gods gift to women and is a big flirt. Even though I was warned, he still annoyed me. I just made sure to stay away from him and not be in the same room alone with him.

Good plan.
