I am a little nervous...I am meeting his parents next month.

Any pointers?

I know that I should dress really nice the first night. Nice blouse and a skirt or slacks.

I need to go shopping for nice casual clothes for the rest of the week when I spend time with his grandma and the rest of the family.

HELP!!!!

    Quoting DangerousBeauty2:
    yes brown, i was planning to do that anyways...

    he also wants me to learn how to make his favorite dishes from his grams.

    i think his mom and grandma are already expecting me to help around the house when i am there.

    not much of a vacation...
Danger, wow. I'm sorry. *pat pat*

My parents a bit old-fashioned, but they would not expect you to help around the house while u were there. The most me mum would expect is to help out in the kitchen to do some of the cooking and do some dishes when the meal was over. That's it.

But to answer your question tho, it is best to be yourself and as honest with them as you can. There is no need to pretend to be something to them to please his parents. It would do you any good if you are one way one moment and another way the next time they are around you. . What I mean by that is, act one way in front of them and another way while they r not around.

Or do a complete 180 on them when you get married. Trust me, A lot of of my brothers wives/girlfriends have been like that. More extreme in some cases they even changed my brothers' personality and character. One of my brothers, has not been himself since after he gotten married. It frustrates me because I know he is not the person he once was.

That's the worse one could get, and so do not be that way.

Sorry, just in a melancholy mood. *bows respectfully*

DB,

1) don't go empty handed bring flowers, bottle of wine, or basket set of fruits...
2) be polite, respectful, don't over talk... most importantly, be yourself
3) he is korean... follow korean customs, ex: no shoes in the house, so make sure no holes in your socks, or rung out pantyhoes. LOL
4) remember you must wear something over your feet, not welcomed in bare feet. At least in my house! hehe
You'll do just fine!. Best Luck to you, Break a Leg.

An advice of a greek man.

Even i dont know the korea customs

Casual clothes, not to casual, not to strength
Dont talk to much, dont be silent
Offer ur help to his mother always
Aks ur man first if he likes something, water, food or what ever
Wake up as first, go to sleep as last but always with him.

And be yourself so he can loves you. When his parents will see how much he likes you, akk will be easier.

Good Luck from an old greek guy.

Hello DB,
Sweeet.. meeting the parents !
I think you shouldn't even go for shopping new clothes... by doing this you "make" this meeting more important than it is. I mean, it's an important event but don't put extra pressure. I'm sure you've got already clothes that you feel comfortable with... you know, the shirt that, secretly, brings you luck (I have my "Lucky" shirt.. LOL )
Anyway... just be yourself. Best of luck.
Have a beautiful day
