Everyone feels nervous when you’re planning your first meeting with your partner’s parents, but if things go well, this can be a great step for your relationship. Do your best to impress them, this will improve your relationship with your beloved one too.

Before the meeting, let your partner introduce some basics about their life. What do they like and what they don’t. Try to be a bit of someone they always wanted to know. If they voted for Blair don’t tell any jokes about him. If they’re against animal killing don’t say you would like to go on a safari. Find out if they are old-fashioned, easy going, where do they work, what they hobbies are like, what habits annoyed them so you make sure you don’t behave that way on the meeting. If they’re non-smokers, try not to lit a cigarette in front of them.

A man should to wear fresh, ironed clothes, avoid causal jeans and white t-shirt. Find something in between that might look like a casual wear but with a style.

A girl should wear nice girly dress but nothing too seductive. You don’t want your parents to think you two are having sex. Behave naturally, reveal your happiness, laugh a lot, you can speak about your future plans (apart from baby and marriage topics). Don’t kiss in front of your parents while you talk. Make jokes of they will make joke themselves.Ask if you can help you partner’s mother in the kitchen or dad with turning sausages on a grill.

If you’re unsure use some help from near make-up artist.Remember to impress him on every date, not only for the first time. Every time you can look different but still she’ll be interested in you. She's yours!.

They change subject every time you ask about their personal life, marital status and opinion on a href="http://www.meet2go.com"online dating/a or if they have committed any crime. It’s not easy to avoid liars or turn one into positive-minded and honest. If you suspect him of telling a lie, ask him what are the things he likes in people. Then you tell about your own. Let him know that the most important thing is honesty. When he is evading your question, don’t let him change the subject too easily. Say that this must be very interesting and you would really like to know the story. You can comfort him with telling ‘you can tell me anything’.

If you’re sure that he is lying or is much stressed of your insisting leave it. You already know there’s something wrong and you don’t want to hear ‘I have murdered someone yesterday’ to become another witness. Watch his behavior. If he is nervous, looking elsewhere, rapidly drinking or grabbing food probably he still want to change the topic because his glass is empty or need to walk to the toilet.
