____________________
a
good
impression
on
the
parents
____________________
your
partner's
parents
for
the
first
time
can
be
stressful
.
We
interviewed
three
people
who
survived
!
Here
is
their
advice
.
Rhonda
Smith
,
age
26
?
I
was
really
nervous
the
first
time
I
met
my
boyfriend's
parents
.
____________________
back
,
there
was
nothing
to
worry
about
.
They
wanted
____________________
____________________
everything
about
me
,
so
they
asked
me
a
lot
of
questions
.
I
____________________
not
to
give
my
views
on
politics
or
controversial
subjects
,
though
.
Of
course
,
you
have
to
____________________
yourself
,
so
if
they
ask
you
a
complicated
question
,
you
have
to
____________________
an
honest
answer
.
One
other
piece
of
advice
I
would
give
is
:
be
punctual
.
Parents
always
hate
people

Will
Mansell
,
age
29
?
My
advice
is
?
dress
to
impress'
.
I
wore
a
suit
to
____________________
my
girlfriend's
parents
for
the
first
time
.
I
think
it
really
made
a
good
impression
.
They
didn't
want
their
daughter
to
____________________
out
with
someone
who
wore
an
old
T
-
shirt
and
jeans
.
Make
sure
you
shake
her
father's
hand
firmly
.
This
shows
that
you
aren't
a
weak
man
.
I
also
____________________
to
help
my
girlfriend's
mother
in
the
kitchen
.
She
____________________
that
.
Lay
the
table
,
or
____________________
the
washing
up
,
for
example
.
Her
mother
will
think
you're
great
!
'
Bob
Tate
,
age
30
?
I
think
the
most
important
thing
is
to
____________________
your
girlfriend's
parents
that
you
have
a
deep
interest
in
her
.
You
can
do
this
by
____________________
questions
about
when
she
was
a
little
girl
.
Parents
never
get
tired
of
____________________
____________________
their
children
.
This
tactic
also
____________________
you
more
relaxed
,
because
you
aren't
talking
about
yourself
.
Before
you
go
to
their
house
,
____________________
your
girlfriend
what
her
parents
like
____________________
.
If
you
find
some
common
interests
,
conversation
will
be
easier
.
