How can I introduce my parents to my new boyfriend?
144272
Plan some sort of outing for the four of you.  When I introduced my parents to my boyfriend last summer, the four of us spent the day on the lake on my dad's sailboat.  This was the perfect place for them to meet him, because my boyfriend also has a sailboat.  It gave him and my father a lot to talk about because they have so much in common.  (My dad's the only one I was worried about!  But my mom loves him too!)\n\nYou could also all go out for dinner, or you could make dinner for everyone at your house.

just bring him over, tell him to be himself.  if u act comfortable with the situation, then he will feel more comfortable.   if he realy is sweet and all that, then they will realize that too once they get to know him.\n explain how ur parents are old fashioned, and just want to know who their daughter is hanging out wiht,  its normal.\n just be yourself, let him be himself, and i'm sure your parents will be theirselves.\n maybe if u bring another friend over that day it would make the situation a little easier on you guys.\n but u have to do it.  ur gonna have to start getting used to bringing guys home.

Explain to your mother that your boyfriend is older, be honest, at least this way she is prepared, set up the meeting on neutral ground,introductions can be tricky , also you might want to give your man a heads up as in tell him to dress nicely, and to put on his best manners as well.Good Luck

Be aware of your differences, ask BF to teach you about his culture, be respectful, open minded, and celebrate the differences. And teach him about yours.\nI know most parents would pick someone culturally similar to their child, but more and more, parents just want their child to be happy. Ask the BF how he thinks his parents will react to your dating. It will give you a little insight about how he feels about you, too.\nGood luck.

You are funny.. dun worry it too much about it.. Your parents only worry for you is whether your bf can support you for the rest of your life comfortably, loves their daughter for the rest of his life and makes her happy, respect elderly, no hot tempered. Your parents will definately accept your boyfriend provided that if your boyfriend has the criteria that they want for a son-in-law. Height to them is nothing and moreover is on 3 cms diference...come on, girl

Wait until it gets serious. And when you do tell your parents, make sure you tell them BEFORE he shows up for dinner.\n\nJust call you parents and arrange to have lunch with them. Tell them you have something important to share with them.

Consider the fact that a "boyfriend" is the first step toward having a husband.  He may one day, become a member of your family.  If your parents knew you from birth and raised you, their feelings about this boy should be considered and their opinions heard because they have more life experience than you have and they love you more than someone you just met.  If you go out with him anyway, at least you will have some points of caution to keep from becoming emotionally bonded to someone who proves himself to be undesirable or unreliable to you.  Give him a chance to prove himself but proceed with caution.

If you are over 18 you can do as you please. However, your parents will be very upset and may disown you. Let them meet him and his family. Maybe they will arrange a marriage with him for you.

Perhaps you could ask her indirectly. Carefully crafted words are the key here to achieving your desired goal.....having a boyfriend. Okay, step 1) find a time when you and your mother are relaxing, no phones, dinner is finished, house is clean. 2) Begin the conversation like this: "You know Mom, I am now ___ years old, and I was wondering if you would allow me to go to the movies with _____________. I know you have not had an opportunity to meet ________, but I can invite him by the house on _________. He is a really nice guy. Now, if you do not have a boyfriend, and no prospects, then I would suggest that you address your mother in this manner: Mom, I have really matured over the last year and I would like to respectfully request permission from you to go on a date occassionally with a carefully selected boy that I will bring home first for you to meet.  Don't be shy about it. Be assertive, without being pushy. Tell her what your heart desires, and do it in a kind, courteous, confident and mature manner. The way you approach this request to have a boyfriend is important. You have to let your mother know that you are ready for this big step in your young teenage life. \nNow, be honest in your evaluation of yourself here okay? Think! Really think here! And answer my question truthfully! Question: Have you been on your best behavior over the last year? Have you done everything that has been asked of you by your mother? Have you gotten into any serious trouble lately? Did you make good grades and behave appropriately in school? These questions are important, because if you have been cutting up and acting like a trifling little hoochie mama, it is highly likely that your mother will say no. But if you have been a perfect angel, and behaved appropriately over the last year, then I dont see any reason that your mother will not agree to your terms. Also, let her know that any boy you meet, you will bring them home to meet her, and your curfew is 9p.m. weeknights and 10:30 on weekends. Or, if your curfew is later than this, use your current curfew. Well, I hope this helps. Best wishes to you. And have fun.

Tell your parents that you think they should get to know him. \n\nIs he willing to go through some uncomfortable meetings for you?  If he loves you, he should. \n\nOnce your parents realize that he loves you and is good to you and is not going to be a negative influence in your life (gosh, do they think he is some gangbanger or all black people are criminals- come on!) they should work toward accepting him.  Try to find out why they feel this way.  \n\nTry to do this the right way- by being honest with your parents.  I can't imagine what you're going through, and you need to understand that they may NEVER come around.  \n\nGood luck, honey!

Your relationship seems rock solid. Don't let anyone including your parents get in the way. Your parents care about you and want the best for you. They haven't taken your relationship seriously yet. Make your parents respect your relationship by investing more time in your relationship with your fiance and less with your parents. Show them you are perfectly fine on your own. Oh, by the way, marriage is cool too. Don't be afraid.

show them that he is a good person and how well he treats you, thats really all you can do, maybe if they see those sides to him they will lessen up on the issue alittle bit and not judge him by the color of his skin, but by his character and as an individual, if not then remember that you will always love your parents and will want them to accept whatever life choices you make, but they wont always like what you choose and it is afterall your life and you and you alone have to account for your own happiness....*good luck*

If he's been living with you for all these years, i think it's best if you tell him. Hearing you're adopted is tough enough.. hearing it from strangers that are actually your birth parents would be terrible. Tell him, let him know you love him no matter what and tell him if and when he's ready, then he can meet the other parents.

talk to them, earn their trust. seem interested in whatever they might say. act like you have nothing to hide(which you might not), and smile. also act polite. meeting the parents is never easy, but it must be done eventually.

Well, this thing is sensitive. Since you want to start out clean with your family. Start it slow . Step by step. First you sit with yur most confidential member. This will make it easier. Try bringing it up by mentioning life and guys and how some guys like you. Try to come closer and closer by mentionioning your classmates, colleagues, etc. and say that ur friends go out with boy. Ask them why they hate the idea and try to convince them of your point of view without getting into a fight. Since my dad is close to me I have no problem (i'm a girl) but try and I hope you succeed.
