1. Be a Gentleman
It's good to be a gentleman. There’s a good chance that
you’ll be watched the moment you step through the door until you step
out, so kick it off by taking her jacket.
2. Be Mature
Even though you may have a lot of frat boy inside of you, it should
be neatly tucked away. While you shouldn’t act like a distinguished
gentleman, laughing at fart jokes probably isn’t a good idea.
3. Be Somewhat Old-School
Old-school cool is the best kind of cool. You shouldn’t come through
the door in a fedora, but being a bit old-fashioned will definitely
appeal to, well, older people.
4. Dress Appropriately
Every man should know how important it is to dress appropriately.
When it comes to impressing her parents, you should aim for business
casual.
5. Stay in the Conversation
It’s crucial that you talk to them, even if you consider yourself
socially awkward. By doing this, you’re giving them a good idea as to
how you see things. Just don’t offer your opinion too much.
6. Don’t Be Too Casual
This has its own entry because this is where a lot of men mess up.
Getting to know her parents should be considered an arduous process, so
you shouldn’t just jump in there and talk like you are longtime friends.
7. Do Some Recon (ask what her parents like)
Before you head over there, it’s a good idea to ask your girlfriend
what they’re like and some of the things that they enjoy. You’ll be
better off in the lulls of conversation.
8. Bring Gifts
Everyone loves gifts. If you take the previous advice and apply it here – you’ll start off on the right foot.
9. Don’t Kiss Butt
Due to experience, parents can tell when you’re being something of a
brown-noser. While a bit is expected, you should stay far away from
being insincere.
10. Be Helpful
You should want to be a helping hand. This accomplishes a lot. It may
allow a one-on-one situation with her parents and makes you come off as
someone who gets things done.
