Be yourself, don't try to impress. If it's meant to be, it'll make your life much much easier. Don't be someone that you're not. Reasonable people respect honesty.

Are you in the U.S.? You should buy them a small gift from wherever you live so that they can have something from your hometown.

Amathyst:

Is it me or does anyone else find it strange that someone would come to a forum before meeting the future in-laws to ask questions from a bunch of randoms?

It is you as youre an individual so is he, were all different.

Amathyst:

And before anyone jumps on me, I dated someone Hungarian for over a year and never once frequented a Hungarian forum...I dont feel the need to share my life with the world and his wife! If I wanted to know something about Hungarian langauge or culture I asked him.

Thanks for sharing that piece of information with the world and his wife.

If hes nervous and wants to make a good first impression, visiting a relevant forum for extra tips is a great idea, i wouldnt do it neither would you but he has. Are you still with the Hungarian? no. Perhaps you should have....

As for my reply just be yourself their probably just as nervous as you, perhaps a shot of vodka or a beer when you meet may not be a bad idea for all to loosen up the tension.

Try to avoid talking about yourself to much, talk Poland in a positive manner, mention Robert Kubica (formula 1 driver) Adam Malsyz (ski jumper) say you love Polish food and traditions, compliment them on a lovely daughter.

Wulkan:

dont worry about it, if you're white you should be ok

Great remark :)

As for the topic: you better not slap them in the face, tell them their food is disgusting and if there is any place you can get some decent fish and chips, not the crap they just served you, better not tell them that your previous gf was black, also don't tell them you regard their daughter as an easy lay and that you keep her while the laying is good, but that you're looking for sth better, that you plan to keep her on the side after you found your true love because the sex is so darn good. Also, you might not wanna mention you've euthanised your granny as you thought she was getting old anyway and hey, you needed a house, so what else could you do? Perhaps it's better not to tell them that your brother is homosexual and that you yourself are actually in doubt, but that you're at least full blown bi-sexual. Oh and you don't want to mention that you absolutely hate Catholics to the point that your preferential place of peeing in public is against the walls of a Catholic Church, and don't tell them you used to be a Communist and in fact still think it's a very good system as you're Jewish and proud of it. If you follow these guidelines, you should be ok.

MareGaea: absolutely hate Catholics MareGaea: Communist and in fact still think it's a very good system well, maybe they hate Catholics and are communists themselves! I-S (stereotyping is bad for kidneys)

Maybe they're into blacks and euthanasia as well? Maybe they know their daughter is the born slave girl. Who knows? Not me. >^..^< M-G (tralala)
