妙计安天下

Going to my girlfriend's house for the first time, how can I chat with my girlfriend's parents to avoid embarrassment?

1. Don't chat for the sake of chatting, meeting is a good opportunity to connect with your girlfriend's parents.

2. Greet warmly when you meet. The atmosphere at the beginning is important! As soon as you see the woman's parents, you should greet the woman's parents warmly and be generous. Even if you are an introvert yourself, you should try to be cheerful, with a smile on your face and a loud voice, which will not only impress the other party, but also Make yourself feel empowered.

3. Ask your girlfriend about her parents' hobbies and jobs in advance. Then take a little thought and prepare a person who is good at answering and likes to talk about things that he is familiar with and good at. Like his girlfriend's father who was an auto engineer, ask him if he thinks an electric car is worth buying, and so on.

4. When listening to your girlfriend's parents, don't interrupt, keep listening, and ask questions appropriately, that's enough.

5. Find common themes by asking questions. Sports, movies, drinking tea, and travel are the easiest areas to find common topics. You can use the methods of "Do aunts and uncles like XXX?", or "What do aunts and uncles like to do on vacation? Where did you travel recently?" , to find and talk about the things you do together. Give them the chance to learn more about you and they will feel closer to you.

6. When in the cold, talk about girlfriends. Your girlfriend must be someone you and your in-laws like together, and you can turn the conversation on to your girlfriend. For example, compliment your girlfriend on what she's wearing today, then, transfer to her mom, say they dress alike, and so on. You can also ask your girlfriend to be a rescuer to help you and drive her parents to talk.

7. The topic of current affairs is optional. It is interesting and relatively relaxed topic to find some hot topics in advance. When eating, it is natural to bring up this topic by "I saw on the phone today...". If your parents-in-law are also familiar with the incident, ask more open-ended questions "What do your uncles and aunts think...?"

8. No jokes, no political or religious topics, and no disputes with parents-in-law.

9. If you are really bad at chatting, show your sincerity with your actions. Including: prepare gifts carefully; quality cooked food and drinks; after eating, take the initiative to help arrange the table and wash dishes; take the initiative to help solve housework problems; and so on.

10. Before leaving, remember to thank them for their hospitality.
