underpants Posted February 27, 2008 Posted February 27, 2008 Part of me feels like it is way to soon for that business. Another part realizes that his Dad is not doing so well. As morbid as it sounds, his time with them is precious. He wants me to go on an overnight trip to meet them. He also understands if I am uncomfortable with the idea. I am freaking out a little and not sure what I should do? I should give an definate answer today or tomorrow. Help.

Art_Critic Posted February 27, 2008 Posted February 27, 2008 Go meet his parents... It's really no biggee.. only you can make it a big deal... I'm one of those types that brings a GF into the family mix quickly.. sometimes just after a date or 2.. It's a good thing Unders...
blind_otter Posted February 27, 2008 Posted February 27, 2008 My SO never got to formally meet my Dad. Shortly after we got serious, my Dad was diagnosed with cancer and he was never up to having company, so the first time my SO actualy met my family was at my Dad's funeral. I say go meet 'em. Especially if his Dad is sick.
Author underpants Posted February 27, 2008 Author Posted February 27, 2008 Thanks everyone, I want to go. I would like to meet the people that raised such a good person. Ahhh, I am just scared and nervous.
Art_Critic Posted February 27, 2008 Posted February 27, 2008 Just go up to his Dad and shake his hand and introduce yourself as unders..the woman that just banged his son in the car on the way over to dinner ... You will be a shoe-in for sure...
Art_Critic Posted February 27, 2008 Posted February 27, 2008 Ahhh, I am just scared and nervous. don't be Unders.. His parents are going to good nice people too.. Have Fun

StrawberryLime Posted February 27, 2008 Posted February 27, 2008 Personally, I'm a big fan of the meeting the parents thing. Some people suggest that you introduce your SO to your parents really really early (like, within two months) cause that can help you get opinions on the SO. I mean, it's not like you should break up if the parents don't like you or whatever, but it's something to think about. If you make a big deal out of it then it will turn into one, so the best option is to just take a deep breath and act naturally. His parents will probably dig you a great deal.
