How can you feel less awkward while meeting the parents?

[CAPTAIN-OBVIOUS]

[WanderingLoveWizard]

Give the dad a firm handshake and call him sir.
Give the mom a gentle handshake and call her ma'am.
And don't forget to smile.

Do those very simple things and the rest of it won't even matter. They'll like you, and you won't have to be so self conscious and uncomfortable

"Yeah, your daughter is a great fuck! You trained her well!"

[roseloyaa]

Ik for me it's like very on and off when it comes to the awkwardness. Sometimes you can find that topic to connect on and other times you want to curl up in a ball and hide feeling like it's your fault for the awkwardness 😭

Spit in the father’s mouth to establish dominance.

[PraviteliNahuiValite]

Is the awkwardness itself the problem or something which is causing it? Because, "growing a pair" is what's recommended if the feeling itself is making you uncomfortable.

As time goes on, and as you learn how they work, what they do, what they enjoy, how to converse, it'll wear off in time.

More experience interacting. Either in general or with the parents.

[NathanDavis]

nah... embrace the awkwardness

[KrisKris81]

Not possible, just be yourself.

[Exterminatore]

Show up stoned. That will help break the ice.
