Now this might come as a cliché but ‘tis true. You do not get a second chance to make a first impression. Especially when you are taking your relationship to the next level.
Meeting a girlfriend’s parents is tricky business. Figuring out what to say and what NOT to say- even trickier! Think you can steer clear of boo boo-s?

Check to see:
1. It’s a pleasure to meet you, aunty <and she smiles until…> I can see where <insert girlfriend’s name> gets her curves from!
You say this if you want to be sucked into a vortex of killer stares not unlike the ones that Mogambo gives when he cannot figure who the f*ck Mr. India is and how he keeps foiling his plans!
2. Your daughter has a calming effect on me. <parents smiling until…> No, truly, my parole officer agrees!

3. Uncle, I am going to take good care of your daughter. <parents beaming with happiness until…> you see, I have a daughter too, so I know exactly…

You won’t get to finish that one- sorry! 😛
4. Sir, I’d like to marry your daughter, but can we keep it low-key? <long pause> No sir, don’t take me wrong but my ex-wife can be vindictive at times!

And you’d be nursing you’re a*s until weeks later! Fathers of daughters kick b*tt, really! You will know! 😉 😛
5. You have a lovely house here. <parents pleased until you add…> I can see that room in the corner looks eerily similar to Hannibal Lecter’s apartment… you know… just like they showed in the movie.
You might just face Hannibal Lecter live after this! Can you blame him?
6. Of course, you have the prettiest daughter ever. <mother gushing until…> No, I mean it, even with those birthmarks, you know…
And you are dead. RIP.
7. No, sir, you don’t have to rush the wedding date. <approving nod until…> <insert girlfriend’s name> pregnancy tests came out negative.
