Meet the parents
Ever get that feeling of irrational but totally overwhelming fear growing deep in the pit of your stomach?
That's the feeling I get whenever I introduce a new boyfriend to my family.
It doesn't matter how much I've prepped him, and it doesn't matter how well he can sell himself. For about a week before that first meeting, I end up seeing whomever I'm dating through my parents' eyes.
And it goes both ways for me. No matter how many times I see a guy's parents, I'm still nervous and worried that I'm going to slip up. That I'll make a bad impression.
How do you handle meetings like this? Does you have any particularly memorable stories about meeting someone's parents or bringing someone you've dated home?
