how to impress your boy/girlfriend's parents in a dinner

Tweet

don't be freaked out. relax because here are some of my tips that can help you when you are invited to a dinner in your boy/girlfriend's parents' home: (hope it'll help y'all) ..bring a small gift or a bottle of wine. this indicates that you appreciate their invitation and want to give something back. ..if dinner is still in the works when you arrive, offer to help. asking what you can do shows that you care. they may tell you to relax or they may give you a job to do. if given a job, do it with a smile =) ..offer to set the table. ..at dinner, remember the basic manners you learned as a kid: wait until everyone has food and is seated to begin eating, don;t talk with your mouth full, keep your elbows off the table and put your napkin on your lap. ..when someone asks you to pass them something (e.g. salt), it is rude to use it before giving it to them. ..you can eat some things with your fingers (pizza, bread, tacos, asparagus if it is without sauce or dressing, corn on the cob, cookies, fruit, less formal food like burgers, and fries, etc) but for greasy food of fancy food, use your utensils. ..help clear the table when everyone is finished. this extra effort will earn you major bonus points! so what do you think? these are just some of the ways..hope it'll help you =)
