Does it get harder or easier?

Apr 06, 2006 09:03

This should be easy for me. We've been together for 8 months, I've met his parents a few months into our relationship and I'm still so...nervous. Uncomfortable. I feel awkward. What do I say? How do I approach them? I keep thinking they're thinking I'm "the girl who is distracting him from going back to school", or that I'm "that kind of girl" because he sleeps over at my place several nights a week and Jeff doesn't let them know but THEY dooooooo know! Or because I don't talk to them when I come over I must be that "rude, too-good, Americanized" girl either that or they're praying for me for I must be "sinful".

I have a stress ball in my stomach everytime I think about it. I know the only way for them to see me as good enough for their son is to just talk to them when I can and not be so clingy with their son etc etc,. But why is that easier said than done for me? Why is it that in the past it was a breeze to get along with the "other's" parents but with Jeff's it's so much harder? Maybe it's because they're Filipino and the guys in the past weren't filipino thus cultures and expectations are different. I just don't know how to ease into it.

Help!!!!
