spookie Posted July 3, 2008 Posted July 3, 2008 TT is taking me to his small midwestern suburb this weekend to meet his family. I'm nervous? I still feel butterflies around him but my mind cannot wrap itself around the fact that he is my boyfriend. I still don't know that we have that much in common. Any tips for the six hour drive and for meeting his folks? I'm thinking: -don't get wasted -try not to swear -bring them something???
Keridan Posted July 3, 2008 Posted July 3, 2008 Relax That's number one. In the midwest, parents tend to be accepting of someone the boy thought was okay to bring home. They probably are very excited to meet you and want to like you already. Obviously the boy found something good in you, they will too. Take games. Both for the trip and for when you are there. It gives conversation while keeping the focus off looking people in the eye. Movies are also good. Getting wasted = bad. A couple drinks to relax (before you meet them) = good. Good luck!
tanbark813 Posted July 3, 2008 Posted July 3, 2008 Keep the stories about coke and stripping to a minimum.
jerbear Posted July 3, 2008 Posted July 3, 2008 Survive the 6 hour trip first. Do bring a house gift for the lady of the house. Relax, better yet, get some with TT a few hours before reaching the destination to really relax. Don't forget to shower and don't get to fragrant.
Author spookie Posted July 3, 2008 Author Posted July 3, 2008 Now I'm all freaked out about the car ride. What are some good conversation topics? Games to play while driving?
jerbear Posted July 3, 2008 Posted July 3, 2008 2nd day of I can't sleep. :mad: Now I'm all freaked out about the car ride. What are some good conversation topics? Games to play while driving? This would be a good time to find out how you two work in a confined space and for an extended period of time! One step closer to marriage. If you two can handle 6 hours of being confined then I think you've found a winner. Otherwise, it would be a LONG trip. Conversation topics... no politics unless you two are political junkies and members of the same party. Talk about random things, things on your todo list, make fun of other cars, for instance. Games! You two can play the announcer game, like classic black rice burner had a loud start only to fall behind the family van, oh!!! the warning flag is up! both got stuck in the slow lane when the state cop drove by! It is state cop first around the curve, followed by family van.... Who is driving? You can also play for him... or play with him.

He's conservative while I am liberal, so politics would have been interesting, but I'm too out of the loop right now to argue intelligently. I think it'll be ok though. We have spent the last couple of weeks around each other literally 24/7 and it's only awkward when we're alone togheter in the car. Other than that, we're great together, and I really think 6 hours is plenty of time to conquer this.

Author spookie Posted July 3, 2008 Author Posted July 3, 2008 We have enough in common, right? - job/career - sense of humor - love of beer - are tall white people
jerbear Posted July 3, 2008 Posted July 3, 2008 Don't forget the same tax rates! The sales tax went up in your neck of the woods! :lmao::lmao: Kinda high and rough. The "tall white people" should fit well with conservatives. I guess this is what I sound like when I have insomnia.
Author spookie Posted July 3, 2008 Author Posted July 3, 2008 I'm trying to remember wtf my ex and I talked about. He whined a lot but I don't think we talked that much, actually. We never took walks or anything together like TT makes me do (where all we do is hold hands). Ugh he is so awesome. -He goes to get the car and drives it to where I am when it's raining. -He makes PB&J sandwiches and packs snacks for us to take on day trips. -He tells me I'm beautiful when we're messing around. -He says "are you sure" when I start taking his clothes off if I had told him I wanted to go to sleep or whatever (and then he bangs my brains out) I'm really nervous I'll screw it up.
jerbear Posted July 3, 2008 Posted July 3, 2008 Sounds like you have chemistry and a balanced guy in your hands. Don't worry to much about meeting the parents. If you focus to much, you'll stress and get white hairs! Get a good nights sleep and sleep it off. It seems to me that you are having jitters and an anxiety due to meeting the parents. Take a deep breath, you'll be ok. Don't end up being an STT, Spookie Tongue Tied.
Author spookie Posted July 9, 2008 Author Posted July 9, 2008 Well y'all... I'm back. I survived my first-ever all-American Fourth. All his family and friends were really welcoming and friendly. I had a great time. The only awkward part was when I went to the bathroom I was sharing with his sister, to find the toilet, which I'd been warned was broken, filled with giant, hairy turds. I didn't want to flush in case the toilet overflowed, spilling feces upon the white bathrugs, but neither did I want that enormous s!ht attributed to me. I pondered what to do for a solid minute before the smell made me nauseous and TT started banging on the door... and then I just left. I hope his mom, who went in there right after, didn't think I did that on purpose. The other slightly uncomfortable part was when we were fcvking on the couch downstairs in the family room and the condom broke right after he had cum. I got the morning after pill as soon as I could (the next day) but I think it was right in my fertile period, so who knows. I'm actually not terribly freaked out, cause I know I'm not having another abortion, which at least takes the messy guesswork out of everything. He's been kidding around about whether we could go park in the pregnant spots at the mall now (and has been prohibiting me from drinking) so I don't think he's that phased.

Spookie said turd and left a floater! (lack of a floater):lmao: Well glad you survived and did ok! Welcome back.
