how dO i get my bOyfriend's parents to Like me..??

I think to answer that question, first we have to establish or answer several other questions. For example, how old is your friend and boy friend, what kind of culture does she and he comes from? For certain culture, having a girlfriend at a very young age is not exactly encouraged by most families. If your friend comes from a culture that accepts relationship at a young age, then it is important that your friend be seen as a positive influence to her boy friend's family. Now, what is positive influence will largely depend on her age and what is considered important to the boy friend's family.

Just be yourself, it's better to be accepted for who you are that being somebody else.

Well, I think they could not really hate her, but instead they feel uncomfortable of the situation just as normally as their counter part does. Normally parents are unable to accept, especially Single Parents or Mothers, the fact that their kids are old enough to make their own choices. (Movie: Because she said so!) also the fact that they "think" they are in a commanding position. In short, they are NERVOUS + COMMANDING too... and that make them do all kinds of nasty things. My parents did not like my girlfriend initially, and my gf faced the same problem, obviously my gf was shy or unsure of how should she act with my parents, on the contrary instead of understanding the situation my parents did the same. Eventually i had asked my gf a favor and jst once give it a try and try to gell up with my parents and talk about things that interests my parents and appreciate them for their knowledge. Soon things started changing, now the situation is way better than b4. Hope this helps.

just be true to herself, and see what will happen next.. you don't need to pretend someone but be honest instead...

I think she should act like herself and don't pretend to be someone. In that way, his parents will somehow see that you're friend is comfortable with them. Then try to advise her to cook for his bf's parents. She can also try to show them her talents.Ü Tell her to focus on her strengths and continue to show her guy's parents that they love each other. I hope it helped your friend.Ü

Your friend has to find out the reasons. "Why don't they like me?" - and work things out. Sometimes it's the differences in religion and race (it happens here). Whatever the reasons are, if your friend loves her boyfriend, they will both make things work. Some parents are very apprehensive when their children bring a boy home but after a while, once they've got to know him better, their relationship is less hostile and more friendly. So, get your friend to find out what makes her parents dislike her boyfriend. Then take it off from there. It's hard for anyone to give advise when they don't know what the real situation is. That's my point of view, and hope it helps your friend.

Hi jane, it doesn't matter what your friend does to try and get her boyfriend's parent's to like her if they don't like her that is how it will always be unless they do change their mind. \it is hard but that is the equasion at the end of the day I have been in that position so cannot give you any other advice than that...it won't even matter if she does something for them or gives them something they really like it will never make them like your friend..so in that case she is stuck and will have to put up with how they feel about her..hugs LoLo

Hi janebeth, There may be some thing wrong with your friend's boyfriend tha your friend's parents don't like about him, after all its for their daughter's bet interest and they want the best for your friend. Tamara

I would say address them by Mr. and Mrs.(Lastname), it shows that you are polite. Do not give attitude. No PDA in front of them. Talk to them about things that they do, where they work, what they like to do in their spare time, old memories. Give it time. Not everyone likes new people right away, so wait try to be polite and wait it out.(:
