Huh, I've had a loaded gun pointed at me once. Yeah, it puts a damper on the whole liking them/them liking you thing. Luckily my gf's dad doesn't own a gun and I know knife takeaways. XDHemlet said:

Yeeeaaaaah...see, I know how to defend myself too. The problem stems from the fact that the step-dad is ex-military, the mom is in the military, and the entire family consists of avid hunters. It's not a matter of worrying about defending myself, it's the fact that I am grossly outclassed, outgunned, and outnumbered if it comes to that, which I sincerely hope never, ever happens.MasterOfWorlds said:
My Girlfriends parents live in Thailand. I live in America. Suffice to say, we've never met. But, they'd probably kill me because, traditionally, in Thailand, you save your first kiss for your spouse.
I got that from both of them towards the end of my longest lasting relationship. Not the overly controlling part, but the "leave him" part. Fucking assholes. It was for the best though in the end!Neonbob said:
Parents just need to be pleasant to be around and to not take offense when I don't want to fucking go out to eat with them and my girlfriend. Seriously, we're not married, I don't need to start hanging out with your parents.
They're both completely uncomfortable with the whole gay thing, so I get disliked when they've never really even met me, totally sucks.
Um, hm. This thread is not reassuring to me, given that I'm about to meet them. Her parents are in town for a visit in two weeks, and they've already rescheduled so she can help me with a play I'm going to be a part of...that didn't go over well, though she chose to (she's friends with most of the cast, and the timing's hideous)
I can relate. My exes parents both seemed to like me from the get-go, but it was always a little awkward to be around them, and her dad kinda scared me. As much as I got along with my exes family, I don't miss having to worry about looking good in front of them.Macgyvercas said:
I don't really know them that well, but they seem to approve of me, except I haven't met her dad.
I don't mind them, but I don't really like how carefully I have to watch what I say... such as when my girlfriend brings up how I tried to stuff a whole creme egg in her mouth at the dinner table... you can take guesses at what I said.
Though the last time I was told to stay away from a girlfriend, I started giving the mother advice on how to raise her children properly and returned the brother's death threats with the words "bring it"
Shame I had no actual interest in her, and only dated her because she looked kinda like a girl I actually liked.

I'm still on very good terms with both my exes and their respective parents (barring my second girlfriend's mother, who as I stated above, I didn't know very well).oreopizza47 said:
For my last two exes, both of their mothers loved me, but they both died.
The previous one's father was in prison, and the latter's father was a decent guy, but not fit to be a dad. We were on okay terms.
I have a fear of fathers ingrained into my very being, so that could explain that.

Funny thing actually...I just got dumped but earlier this year
His parents found us at six flags holding hands and they jumped up to us squeeing their hearts out screaming "FINALLY HE ADMITS TO HIMSELF THAT HE'S GAY! The ***** was pretending to be confused for years!"
They still talk to me on the phone, they call me more than they do him...its also awkward at family reunions....

Her mom like me well enough, though she lets my gf and I sleep in the same bed at night so one can assume she knows what we do, yet she still likes me.My gf's dad like me too I'm smart and polite (at least I act it) and I make his daughter happy so i guess she's happy.
Despite being from different social classes (which can be a major factor; I'm dating "up" the ladder, so to speak) they look very favorably on me, even having let us sleep in the same bed on occasion. I think they definitely approve of how happy their daughter is with me, and I do my best to behave very appropriately. Also, I've helped cook meals for them before, so brownie points.
My dad was a chef that trained at the Culinary Institute of America and he taught me a lot of what he learned. I also know a lot of southern recipes from my mom's side. When my gf told her dad I could cook well, his response was, "We'll see." For some reason though, a lot of people tend to think that just because a guy can cook that he must be gay. I find this confusing and would be offended if I hadn't seen the pattern elsewhere.StevenSuffern said:
My ex's parents hated me from day 1 . Her dad in particular DESPISED me , her mom wasn't so bad (she was just very whupped by the father) . I tried my best to get along with him until he vaguely threatened to shoot me once , after that , I lost all respect for him (which I had very little to begin with).
I'm glad I got out of that relationship (my ex turned really insane after she cheated on me).
My current gf is the love of my life , and her parents are cool too (both cops) , and we get along just fine (her sister is fine too , though sometimes she can get quite annoying).
