How to behave when meeting boyfriend's family

You met and started staying. Things have evolved into a relationship and now the boy's family wants to know who you are.

The nervousness inherent in this situation is natural, after all, we want make a good impression and win the sympathy of the people who matter to our partner. For this, some rules of good behavior need to be respected.

1 ? Be nice

It costs nothing to be nice to the cat's parents and siblings. Even if you are shy, make an effort to show that you are happy to meet them. Excessive nervousness can disrupt sympathy and give you the wrong impression.

2 ? Choose the right clothes

People have different styles, so you don't have to wear clothes you don't like just to fit a pattern. The tip is to avoid clothes that are too low-cut or too short, even though getting to know your in-laws is a party. In these cases, less is more. For now, forget the ballad clothes and invest in simple looks, without exaggerating also in makeup. Remember that you don't want to show how attractive you are, but the reasons why he chose you.

3? Avoid making out

At the beginning of the relationship the passion burns like an active volcano. The temptation is great, but avoid exaggerated displays of kisses and hugs. Snuggling with him on the couch, then, is out of the question. It may be that the guy's family is liberal, but still, you might have to wait a while to show such intimacy.

4? Avoid controversy

It sounds absurd, but it's good to remember. Even if you disagree with the opinions and comments made by the boy's family members, do not argue. Hold on to the revolutionary within you for the sake of your relationship. If you find it very necessary, state your point of view without going into further discussion. This demonstrates personality while protecting you from the label of unbalanced or aggressive.

If possible, also avoid arguing with your boyfriend in front of the rest of the family. Unless he does a lot of bullshit, leave it to discuss the topic later, when you are alone.

5? Control the drink

Whether it's a simple dinner at his house or a wedding party, needless to say, you need to take it easy on alcohol. It serves to prevent them from having a negative image of you and also to avoid saying what you should not.

6? Be yourself

Do not force a personality other than yours, do not invent experiences you did not live, do not claim to have knowledge you do not have. This kind of attitude can damage the family's impression of you in the long run. It is not worth pretending to be what it is not because, besides being laborious, sooner or later they will realize the lie and the situation will be very boring, to say the least. Act naturally, smile if you want to smile, play if you want to play, and be quiet if you want to be quiet. Will people like you for what you are? and not by the character you created.
