Survive Meeting Her Parents

Meeting your girlfriends parents can always be a scary prospect for guys... after all, you're the one who is trying to take away "daddy's little girl". Knowing that there's a lot of bad guys out there, parents are on high alert to protect their daughter's heart and future.

First and foremost, I'd suggest that the girl should only even be dating a good guy. This will save a lot of trouble for everyone. And seriously, a really fantastic young woman deserves the best, strongest, most caring, and God-following man out there. And that guy should be doing his very best to live up to not only her expectations, but to God's. That's what I'm trying to do... I love my girlfriend, and selflessly want the very best for her.

Respect for her parents is another important quality. To genuinely respect them and acknowledge them as a driving force behind the birth, education, and general welfare of your girlfriend.

In my case, I got off pretty easy... I'm already striving to do my best, and meeting her parents was a breeze. We got along well, didn't have too many questions to drill me with, and they readily approved of my dating their daughter.
