The premise of the movie is funny because at some point, all of us have had that pit in our stomach in anticipation of "meeting the parents". The anxiety of meeting the parents hangs over your head whether you are 15 or 50. Sure, the dynamics change (fathers of high school girls are protective in a very different way), but it is still an important rite of passage in a relationship. If the big meeting is coming up, how can you prep for success? A common mantra here at Kelleher International is “be direct” – don’t try and guess what the right behavior is for success when you can ask and find out. Here are three things to do to prepare for the big event:
- Ask your partner what they consider an “A+” outcome – does she want you to have bonding time with her dad, does he want you to befriend his younger sister, does she need to be accepted by the family Weimeraner? Set yourself up for success.
For 24 years Kelleher International has set the Gold Standard in upscale, selective, and personalized matchmaking.
