So this is just a random thought. I am a sophomore in college and I went out with a Jewish orthodox girl for about 2 years. I wasn't allowed to hang out with her alone, since her parents are so paranoid about us doing stuff. Anyway, they wanted to meet me once their daughter became obssesive over me. Anyway, I went to their house for tea and after, say, an hour of talking with the family and all that, I find out that they "love" me (my girlfriend told me that afterward). They thought I was nice, intelligent, and handsome. Okay, but I don't understand why they thought I am so nice or intelligent (I am, but that's besides the point). I mean, all my friends can put up the same act and come off as being nice when they are really cruel. I have many friends like that, who my dad thinks are "nice" people. They do drugs, fail school, and steal other peoples' girlfriends, yet they come out as being nice guys to parents. I don't get it! Parents need to wisen up a bit...

Believe me when I say I am not that gullible.
First impressions are usually good when a parent meets their child's boyfriend/girlfriend. Them saying they love you, probably was to make their daughter feel good. Love your personality maybe, from what they could tell from a first impression, anyway.
My son brought in a girl and I knew right away that she was not a nice girl.. He ended up having a baby with her (she already has a daughter) unbeknown to me at the time.
My son now has custody of his son.
Yes this girl was nice and friendly the first time I met her, but I knew better..
Good luck, faith

Well, nowadays not a lot of boyfriends come to the home of the girlfriend and have the time or day to spend time with the parents. Maybe, in their point of view it is a sign of respect that you acknowledge them. But also if you were in their situation as a parent you would like to meet the guy whom your daughter is seeing. But the word "nice" doesn't mean that they really like you. They will probably ambush you with these words, What are your intentions with our daughter? Are you going to make an honest woman of her? When are you going to get married? Can you support our daughter? Are you willing to change your religion? Would you agree to pay for the wedding? So, not because they made a comment to their daughter that you are nice. They might be just being polite. So if I were you, dig deeper on what they meant. Remember they can do background check on you. It happened to me without me knowing about it.

Nicoletta - Nicchi - Giulia: Nicoletta and Giulia are the two common names Fflur - Angharad: i do no longer understand a thank you to assert the two of those, sorry! i think of Fflur looks the finest. Catrin - Ruth - Mila: Ruth Cadfael - Ezekiel - Francesco: Ezekiel (very cool sounding too) Cadog - Jonah - Luciano: Jonah Carys - Olivia - Samanta: Olivia is particularly ordinary right here. Caerwyn - Ahijah - Maria: Maria Colwyn - Isaiah - Teodoro (eye-Z-EYE-ah, he hates the american ih-Z-AY-ah): Isaiah might get mispronounced lots if stated that way... i think of Colwyn could be easiest. Celyn - Elijah - Leopoldo: Elijah, very lovable. Cariad - Adaiah - Elisabetta: Elisabetta Cai - Josiah - Carmine: Josiah good success!

Most american parents are easy to please because we have lower expectations, even if they dont know it. I sit arround and watch the majority of people let there kids go to school and come home and they are out side till dark.. no home work time no chores, no family time. there also lazier and think there children are grown before they really are. I grew up fast and I dont want my kids to. I have sent a lot of other kids packing, and parents get mad at me. I say oh well, i dont want my kids dping the things yours are doing, oh as i told this one lady, ur kids a bully and rude to adults, fix that and maybe she will have a chance at beign something other than a brat when she grows. Kidss are good BS-ers, thats why every word i hear is taken with a grain of salt and also i keep in mind that what they are to me is not what they are to my kids.

I think that parents just want to give their kid's bf/gf the benefit of the doubt. They want to trust their kid's decisions to pick a great person. They just want their kids to be happy. Do you think that your girlfriend's parents made a bad call by saying that they love you? It sucks that your friends are scumbags. Why do you hang out with them if they're such crappy people? They must be doing something right if they can get a girlfriend. If you're really concerned about your friends dating certain girls then tell their parents that the guys are doing drugs and failing school. Call them out on being jerks.

Don't underestimate parents. There are quite a few (and definitely not all) that can see through an act.

Yeah, too many parents, especially moms, fall for that Eddie Haskell routine.
