Get to know his parents and make him known to yours
1) How to introduce it to your family
It's not always easy to introduce your mate to yours. If for some it is a simple formality, for others this moment represents almost a test. It also depends on your parents. Here are some tips to make the long-awaited meeting as easy as possible:
- Prepare the two parts

Talk to your partner about your parents, their way of life, their topics of discussion, in order to demystify the image he has of them, making him understand that, after all, there is no need to be afraid.
In the same way, tell your loved ones about your loved one, his passions, his job, his parents, your holidays together ... Your parents want you to be happy, and if they see that their little girl speaks passionately about her partner , they will surely be happy.
- Reassure your loved one
Remember that even if your parents' opinion matters, it is not decisive and will never question your love and relationship. And, after all, you too will face the same test!
- Choose the right place
The meeting usually takes place at your parents' house: in this way your parents will be able to enliven the evening by showing your childhood photographs, those in which you wear that terrible pink dress at your uncle's wedding, or the other one in which you are disguised as a peasant girl, at the school masquerade party ... these gestures will put your partner at ease.
If, on the other hand, you all feel too uncomfortable and prefer a neutral ground, the ideal is to meet in a restaurant.
2) How to introduce yourself to his family
Meeting your partner's family is an important test. Even the thought of being judged by these people who are so important to him makes you nervous. Here are some tips to do everything possible to ensure that their judgment is positive!
- Don't get too prepared
By dint of thinking about it and preparing yourself, this meeting will become a real fixation! Simply try to find out more about his family, ask your partner for information, in order to anticipate their reactions, but without exaggerating: it must not become an obsession for you!
- Avoid overdoing it
Stay yourself, trying to give your best. It is useless to be too elegant, or to offer your help in the kitchen every two seconds. Do not even try to be appreciated at all costs: if you feel that a good feeling has not been created, do not insist, just be polite.
- Don't relax too much
The meeting went wonderfully. Don't forget, though, that it's not about new friends, it's about your boyfriend's family! This is not the time to overdo the wine or make big jokes. Stay composed at the table, don't leave anything on your plate (even if you don't like what you eat) be nice, and help clear away. Avoid confiding in her mother, especially if you want to prevent her from becoming pushy in the future.
