Im just really nervous...
I keep gettin told by my girlfriends friends and everything oh theyre gonna love you dont worry!!! And its just I dont wanna say or do the wrong thing and make them hate me..Also her parents are really picky about who she dates you know


I think showing just a bit of nervousness is a good sign to parents. it's like you are sayin' you don't think you're 'the sh*t' and all that. People like a person who isn't full of themselves.

And like I said, all they are wanting is for you to treat their 'baby' right. :tongue:

I agree with geek too. Every event like this builds confidence in who you are, and what you have to offer. Just the fact that you are concerned is REALLY a good sign. shows humility.

You'll do great! drinker

I think it's a good idea to go on Christmas day since there will be a good amount of people rather than just her parents and you guys. Try to be positive and respectful. It would be wrong of them to judge you bad from your first visit. So go and try to have some fun meeting her family!!!!!!! Merry Christmas!!!!!!! :wink:

Meeting her parents will be easy don't worry about it. Just enjoy yourself. But if they have a dog that's who ya have to watch out for :tongue:
As far as wanting her to meet yours too. Do your parent's do anything for Christmas Eve? My parents always celebrate Christmas Eve with my brother, his wife, 3 kids and myself. Then save Christmas for going to our grandparents.

Well after only 3 months it is a very big gift to give her. Of course after 1 month with my ex husband I had a diamond ring on my finger laugh . If they do get upset just say you feel that she is safer with her own car then taking a bus or walking. Anything to show you care.

Do you have to do the BIG MEETING on a holiday? Could you maybe choose a different more relaxed and low key time to meet them? Maybe a simpler get together? Something a little less nerveracking instead of taking on the whole family at one time?

Well good luck with it. They may take it as you trying to get something from their little girl. But I am sure it isn't what you are after. Just relax and have fun. And if you really are worried you can wait to give it to her after talking to her parents about it. Worse comes to worse you don't give it to her and resell it.
