Luke95 Posted April 8, 2013 Posted April 8, 2013 I'm 17 & my gf's invited me to a family BBQ. When i met my ex's parents i knew what to do - be myself, be respectful, polite. But my current gf's family are different - for a start her mum & dad are pretty young, plus she has 5 brothers! An older adopted brother, Charlie, who's a fireman. Triplet brothers, Greg who plays U21 football for a living, Freddy who got a scholarship to college in america to play ice hockey & Jack who's in the RAF. And shes also got a twin brother, Alfie, who's a lifeguard & trying to become a pro mountain biker. And to top that all off her dads called 'Thor' thats his name, as in Norse god of thunder!! Does it get more intimidating than that? I was at the same school as her and her brothers and I never had anything to do with them, they were always (this sounds lame) but so popular, good looking & in demand and i was really shy and i dunno! In fact i never had anything to do with her at school, even though she was in my class, she was, she is, just so out of my league! She's stunning & you wouldnt guess it but growing up with 5 boys has deffo made her tough & a bit of a tomboy - she can look after herself but her brothers are still dead protective of her. I remember Alfie broke a guys nose at school cause he cheated on her! Obviously i dont ever intend to hurt her so I'm hopeful that my face will stay intact but still! I bumped into one of her brothers (Greg's) gf who he must of been with since they were 14 in town and she stopped me like "i heard your coming to the BBQ, nervous bout meeting the folks", I was like " a bit" and she went to me "dont be, there boisterous but sweethearts, really great people, you'll be fine providing you pass initiation!" I know shes just messing about, theres no initiation (well i hope theres not!), but i dont appreciate messing about right now! I did metion to my gf i was nervous about making a good impression and she was just like "dont be, im the most picky one, if i like you your sorted! There just wind up merchants but I'll tell them to play nice" But the thing is i know how close she is to her family - she talks about them so much - like if they didnt like me theres no way we'd have a future!
Shepp Posted April 8, 2013 Posted April 8, 2013 Her brothers might of been cool back in school, but shes not dating her brothers, shes dating you. No ones forcing her to she chose you! Plus she told you herself shes the most picky - she knows her family, if she said you'll be fine, trust her! you want tips? - dont wait for her to introduce you, introduce yourself with a firm handshake! Shows you can take charge! - make conversation (when i doubt - talk football) - wear swim shorts - shes given you a dress code which makes it wasier for you tbh! But id take a towel! then your not relying on them for one! - Tell her dad how cool of a name thor is! haha! I love that! Gd luck mate! And have fun - remember they wouldnt of been popular at school if they were tools so they must be decent lads! 1
