We've been dating for three and a half years, and I've no clue what to wear! I was thinking of getting him a gift but I will be flying seven hours straight to get to where he lives. And I'll be crossing the border (he lives in Canada and I in the U.S.) and I'm not sure if I can bring foods etc. Any ideas?And also, what should I wear? Many people tell me a knee length dress but I don't know where to start! I want to wow him at the airport for the first time and wow his family too! D:Panicking. Thank you for reading this! please guide me. Reply to this Question

She could have on jogging pants and a garbage bag! I would still be overly excited to see her...in every sense of the meaning. On that note. I suggest wearing what you deem comfortable, confident and not too flashy. The dress is a good idea. I love those kinda tight,knee high skirts with button up shirts, like a business woman. Very sexy, cute, confident and casual. Not sure how comfy it would be though. Don't forget, he doesn't see you everyday, so whatever you wear will be new to him. Be it your old favorite (never let me down) type of outfit, something new, it doesn't really matter. Just be clean, no rips, stains, wrinkles etc. (I'm sure you had no plans of wearing anything like those)I think the main thing (if your at this point in your relationship) would be later at night, when the two of you are alone. Concentrate on wowing him then. I'm pretty sure what I'm getting at. A gift for his family would be a great idea. Esp. if they were individualized. It would please him to see you thought about everybody and made his family happy. I think some sort of gift from your local area would be nice. Or something you can only find in the states. Maybe cute, funny, sentimental. Make a phony Walmart post card with a store pic and that smiley face guy who is always rolling back prices. Say that Walmart is an American institution, they're all over and are a major part of American culture. Say something like "maybe one day you guys will get a store like this" "You can buy your snowblower, toques, food for your dog sleds, pop, bacon and maple syrup, all under one roof" We've got tons of Walmart here, and breaking the ice by making a little fun of us. (a toque is a winter hat, and we call soda "pop").Hope this helps a bit.And remember to be yourself, relax and don't look as if your trying to impress them by trying too hard.

This guy is fairly lucky to have you... wow... seven hours? Thats an incredible journey!
I would wear somethin business casual and to be honest they wont be expecting you to look your very best especially after a long journey but if you want to wow them, id say wear somethin simple, classy, and perhaps unique. In terms of bringing things? Youre so kind!! I would pack stuff in your suitcase perhaps something like coffee for his parents or some bath stuff and as for the boy? well, seeing your face should be a big enough gift for him. Best on this and hope all goes well!
