So it’s Thanksgiving.
If you are single, that means it is a day to fill that lonely void with family, football, frosting-covered desserts. If you are in a relationship, that means it is time for some meeting of the parents, whether your boy is meeting yours, or you are heading home with him for the holiday.
You meeting his parents? You will do fine – moms always love their son’s girlfriends.
Is he meeting yours? Well, that is a whole different story.
Many of us don’t think much of this moment; we just want our parents to meet the new dude in our lives. But to guys, meeting the parents is huge. Momentous. Monumental. OhMyGodSheWantsToGetMarried!!!
At least that’s what I gathered from my ex boyfriend who ran to the hills when I invited him to my parents’ for dinner. I thought maybe he didn’t like burgers, but as one of my male advisors explained, the meat was the least of his problems. It was the dinner guests that were the real issue.
Why is it such a big deal? Why can’t guys just man up and handle a free dinner? Let’s see what a guy had to say…

Hahhaaha… I love these little conversation at the ends of the posts. One thing that can make it a little smoother with meeting the father is finding out something that her father is into and learning some about it. I actually had one of my past girl’s father looking forward to the next time I stopped by the house cause he had such a great time talking about amateur aviation with me.. You don’t even need to know very much about whatever he’s into.. just show interest.. and if he’s a fanatic at his hobby he will have a blast having someone who is interested in it around. Good thing is sometimes you just make an impression so good that her dad looks forward to seeing you but the drawback is that you’ll probably have to chat a bit about it every time you see him xD I dunno.. I’ve just found that showing interest in a hobby of the father’s completely circumvents any of those awkward “So what are your plans for the future?” conversations with her parents that you know you’ll run into at some point in time.

There’s something that’s been on my mind recently, and I’m hoping I’m not the only one who has noticed. But seriously, what happened to Prince William and when exactly did he get assaulted with the ugly stick? Because with every day that passes, William begins to look more and more like his father, and that’s a genetic battle that he is most definitely going to lose.
