I will celebrate this Spring Festival in my boyfriend's family, and talk about the date of marriage.frankly, I'm afraid to see his parents. I'm confident, but I don't like chatting with older people. So what about you?

Well, I may be one of those older people you don't like chatting with. If your boyfriend wants you to get to know his family then he must have confidence that they will like you so don't be nervous about it. The best way to get to know someone is to ask questions so try to do that when you find yourself in a situation where you have to chat with his family members. They'll most likely ask questions about you, too. You might just find that it's fun to learn about the lives of this new group of people.

Since I never get to a point of meeting the parents, I don't have any real experience to tell. But I guess when the time come, I might feel nervous a bit. After all, like the saying, the first impression is very important. Some parents don't approve their son's girlfriend. It will be a disaster to meet such parents. No matter what we do, it always wrong in their eyes.

You are right. my aunt and uncle are not satisfied with their daughter-in-law, because she is a bit lazy and like to spend money. So they often quarrel with each other for little things. The basic reason is that they take their son in the higher place in their hearts.but he is quite common.

I am not afraid of anyone. It seems silly to me to think of other people as fearful creatures. they are just humans like us. Cheers!!

I don't fear both of them, but older people are not easy to accept youngers ideas, especially taking me as their daughter-in -law.If they are strangers, I would chat with them friendly.

I'm not afraid to be with my girlfriend's parents. We're close to each other and talked everytime I visit in their house. But there are parents that's not easy to come along with, I'm glad that they are not like that.
