There aren’t many things scarier than meeting a new boyfriends parents.
However, with the right attitude and outfit, you are very likely to win his parents over. Just follow these 5 tips and before you know it, they will be joining your fan club!
1. Don’t ask him …
Men have no interest in fashion, and won’t understand what the fuss is about. He’s not being unhelpful, he simply believes that if he likes you his parents will too. Whatever he says, put an effort in to getting it right.

2. No low cut shirts, miniskirts or fish nets …
Remember that he is still their little boy, and they want to see that you can look after him and make him happy. So while dressing like a stripper might make him happy, it’s probably best to save that until after and dress a bit conservatively.

3. Go for knee length …
Knee length skirts always look classy, and can be teamed with a cami, a T- shirt or a jumper to make a casual yet very elegant look. Wide legged pants are also very flattering and parent friendly.
Wear nice underwear, for confidence, and comfortable shoes. Remember that there is nothing wrong with showing your figure, but you aren’t on the pull!

Ok so I am really nervous. The very first time I am going to meet my boyfriends parents is this Friday. Not only is that scary enough but I am also getting in their car and driving to their country house for the four day easter break. I am very excited because I love my boyfriend and I know his sister but so many thoughts are going through my head. He keeps saying oh they will love you but I just dont want to do anything wrong.
I’m meeting my boyfriends family tonight. I am so nervous and have no idea what to wear because I really don’t want to over dress, nor underdress.

i’m meeting my boyfriends parents on thursday and i’m SO nervous. we have to lie about how we met, seeing as how it was a party and neither wanna own up to it. he lives farther away from me, so it’s quite difficult. ah, i’m going insane. what to wear, what to say, what to do.
I met my boyfriend through the Internet. I live in New Jersey (USA) and he lives in Puerto Rico. Last year I went to Puerto Rico and I met him for the first time in person after 1 year of talking on the phone and getting to know each other through the Internet. I’m 20, he’s 19. We fell in love. Now I’m in Puerto Rico and I’m gonna see him tomorrow, and I’m gonna meet his parents as well. Its very nerve wrecking because he always talks to his parents about me, but they have never seen me. I know I’m gonna be nerveous, but since I live in a completely different place and atmosphere, there will be lots of things to talk about with them.
hi,
ive met someone whom i am preparing for meeting his parents. He is a mamas boy type, im scared. Im preparing for that…i really like him..thats why i want to make his parents like me too…
Lileth,
First impressions are important but don’t drive yourself silly over it. Dress to impress, be confident and SMILE and I’m sure they will love you! Afterall their son did see something in you . Good luck hun! :)
He is such a momma’s boy and i was so scared! I dressed in something nice because I was meeting his mom at her birthday party. I had to meet all his extended family too. Lucky he only has a mom and no siblings. I just dressed nice, smiled, was confident, and let myself have fun and be open to everything.
It was a good time. My boyfriend was impressed by how well I did. I am 19 and he is 24 and I am white and he is black. It was fun.
Just be yourself, it’s not too scary.
Bex Boo,
Golden words from the experienced :) Thanks for sharing that! Being yourself is so important. Anyone can see through the facade when you’re faking it, specially when you’re tryin too hard too impress.
