Meeting the folks

My sister left to go to VA to meet her boyfriend/fiancees family today. She has been texting me throughout the day telling me that some of his family just said hey and that’s it so now she is panicking saying they don’t like her and all this stuff. Is it a bad thing that they only say like “hey” to her? Is that a clue that they may not like her even though they haven’t gotten to know her? Also, is it a bad thing that he is not introducing her as his fiancee when they are engaged?

Answer #1

It is odd meeting the family for the first time. Of course last time a girl met my family it was at my grandmother’s funeral. She wanted to come with me for support. She really does need to talk to him. Fact is my family knows that I will marry who I want to. If he does not think that way than she needs to find out. My family is quite large and my girlfriend at the time was quite thin. She pretty much got called a skinny b!tch by every woman in my family. I told her it would happen, and that it was all in good humor, but she did not take it that way. I had to pull my mother aside and let her know these things. I never would have done it if my girlfriend had not talked to me about it first. Best of luck to her. Family, or potential family, is tough.

Answer #2

They probably just need to get to know her a bit more.

Answer #3

Yes it is bad not introducing her. Also try to tell them to start the conversation about like what’s your job or like something interesting.
