How can i make this situation as less akward as possible?

[Trichome Jerome]

So, Me and my gf have been dating for about 5 months now. We know what eachother sound like and look like, but we have never met or even video chatted. We are planning on meeting soon, But its not just gonna be me and her. Its going to be her mom and my parents with us, and i honestly think that will make things even more akward. I know that this is inevitably going to be akward no matter what, but any ideas on how i could make it as less akward as possible? Im scared out of my mind here... The only idea i have so far is to just make sure we video chat first.

EDIT: Her little sister (Whos 13 i believe) and her Stepdad might also going to be there. Akward level over 9000

Helpful advice?

Walk up to her dad and introduce yourself before anything else.

Seriously. Moms tend to be a touch more romantic, and dads tend to be the more protective. Just walk up, introduce yourself, and make it clear that you know this is kind of weird, but you are happy everyone else is there, to make meeting someone you really like a lot less ackward.

Get on the Dad's good side, with the battle.

EDIT: Embrace the ackward!

So true, my friend got a girlfriend and her dad hated him at first. As in, he wouldn't let her see him. But after some talking between the two of them, the father was fine with him.

Okay. Weird personal moment.

I knew my wife for 2 years before we met face to face. And before you get into it, 98% of our group used to travel just to meet other members.

We ended up living in the same house, as she was rooming with another friend to get out of her home invironment. It was silly ackward. heh. I first met her as I just slammed down on a soon to be friends couch and, after a moment of exausted thought, said "Wait... doesn't 'X' live here too?"

two months later *Short it might seem to some* I had her call her dad, and I introduced myself, and ask if I could have her hand in marriage. We talked for almost an hour.

Two weeks later we flew out for her sisters graduation. THe first thing her dad and I did was hug. Not kidding. THe whole family met us at the airport, and the first thing he did was walk up, shake my hand, we introduced ourselves, and I got a huge hug. After that, her dad and I were always rock solid. He was the last person from her family I spoke to, and I know that they still are my family, should I need it..

Damn.. too much info. My doctor is right. I do need a personal day...

Win the dad over. Stick to her, but keep him always on call and adress him whenever a choice comes up. Dads are NOt the kill point, but the dad is the guy who guards the gate to a great relationship, even at that age...

Yea. Despite the general consensus, and general acceptance of things that require a swipe to set up a date, internet relationships can equal great personal experiences. My best friend is currently an internet friend who I lived with for 3 years afterwards, my wife was the most amazing person I have had the experience of knowing.

Look past al that fluf. Treat it like an arranged date. Get your mom on board. If nothing else, you leave the situation with a far better friend than you started with. And if it works out, well then, more power to you. Don't ignore that you are young, and obviously your personality can win the ladies over, but go in thinking "I will make a good Impression" and you will not not come out of this less than happy and positive.

Keep calm and act like a pro,they cant see into your mind

80% of your communication is non-verbal. Trained people can do that easily.

Can't you guys stray off after you meet? Do you have to be with your parents the entire time?

[♠ZerØ♠]

O_O ♥♥♥♥ you guys! I seem to know what the ♥♥♥♥ I am doing! WHich outside o being happy in a relationship. OG WAIIT, I know tons...


But yes. as it seems, I am familiar with seting up a long term relationship Just understand, the average user on here can't set up direct payment on their employment, much less manage a long distance relationship. Pleae take it slow, please just be direct, and please just get on the good side of the man who can end a relationship by frowning.

I will be frank, at that age, I had no idea what I wanted. WHich is why I shot at people for a living. But then I found someone that made me feel more of a complete person, Was my yin to my yang, I tried my hardest work. If you are that worried, just go for it. Damn. Just tear into it. THe worst that happends, you learn a lesson. THe best, you get something that makes your life one of those that other people get tired of hearing about. Never mind the end. You get to be happy.

Happiness is an underrated joy when it comes to relationship joys.
♥♥♥♥ all the rest, just go be happy for a while. Neither of you will regret it,

Seems both of your parents (yours and your gf's) are very nosey and should keep out of it. Sure, sometimes they may worry, but sometimes they just want to be nosey.

It's a shame they're coming along for both sides (you and your gf). Well, I've never had a girlfriend so I dunno how it'd be like, but man... the questions the parents are going to ask. I can just picture it...

"How'd you meet!?" "What do you talk about!?" "How many times have you spoke to each other!?" etc. Nah, well, maybe.

Don't be nervous. Or you can. It's an emotion, but I think the parents of both sides should keep out of it. It's too much for two 15 year olds.

I would say the were ♥♥♥♥ parents if they didn't care.

Never had a girlfriend so no, I haven't. I can feel the awkwardness though.
