He proposed...but I'm nervous about meeting my would be in-laws for the first time.
You have plans about meeting your spouse's parent for the first time?
Congratulations.. This is for you🤗
✔️YOUR APPEARANCE
Do you believe in "dress how you want to be addressed?"
Then, dress gorgeous, modest, neat and appealing.
You can go for a cool colour outfit.
Wear what you are comfortable on🤷♀️
✔️Greet everyone you come across, from small to big, child or adult with a charming and bright smile on your face.
Age doesn't really matter at this point my dear.
It's not desperation, it is love.
✔️PUBLIC DISPLAY OF AFFECTION🤨
I know you want to prove to your in-laws that you love their son/daughter but this doesn't really matter now.
It's normal that your emotions could make you become cold, nervous or robotic.
Just be conscious and be you.
Feel relaxed, feel home.
PLAYING WITH YOUR PHONE🤳❌
Let your phone in your bag for this short period.
Avoid being busy on your phone texting, chatting, taking selfies.
You might distract yourself.
❌DON'T BE FAKE.
Let them know all they must know bearing in mind that this will be your family soon.
Let them know who you are and where you are coming from. It is better than later.
❌DON'T RAISE OR GET INVOLVED IN CONTROVERSIAL DISCUSSIONS
Controversial topics like religion or politics.
Yes your believe are in line with your would be family but it is advisable you do more of the listening.
It doesn't mean you have nothing to contribute, it is wisdom.
✔️Yes, you might be coming a long way and probably very hungry, it doesn't mean the plate must be cleared completely.
Eat well and don't forget to commend the cook.
Worthy Of Note: You can wash the dishes in the kitchen if you can seize the opportunity.
✔️GO WITH A GIFT.
Stuffs like road side bread, plantain chips, roasted plantain(bole), roasted agbado(corn) isn't so nice.
Go with something really presentable, it doesn't have to be so costly my dear.
As always, I'm rooting for you
Your friend,
