When you first meet your dates parents, do you say sir and madam or mr and mrs?

Question

i keep thinking about the date and wonder about how to go about that stuff?

and i know i shake the fathers hand firm and slow...i know that much from my work...

Answer 1

Address them by Mr and Mrs Whatevertheirlastname when introduced. Always polite to use sir or ma'am when talking. If they like you, at their option, they'll ask you to call them by their first names.

Answer 2

Well, I'm American by birth and multi-cultural by nature.
I am kinda old for a dating aged son or daughter, but I prefer Mrs. NOT madame, and really i think I would like to be called by my first name. I'm casual.

Answer 3

I use their first names. Using Mr and Mrs is better if you are under 21 to show respect, or if they are old-fashioned type parents.

Answer 4

Sir and Mam would be a bit tooo fo and Mr. & Mrs. wouldnt let you get close so try Uncle...&.....Aunt!!!!!!!
