Tips to Survive Thanksgiving Dinner with Your Girlfriend’s Family

The holidays are here, that means visiting your father’s brother’s nephew’s cousin’s former roommate for dinner and also spending time your girlfriend and her family. This could be terrible: from the mom who just goes on and on, to the dad who just wants to watch football and then grandmother who just keeps saying how cute you are.

Here are some quick tips to survive Thanksgiving:

BE FRIENDLY TO THE KIDS: Always be polite. Just smile and say how adorable they are.

USE YOUR BEST MANNERS: Remember to say please, thank you, you’re welcome. Even if momma’s cooking is horrible say ‘Excuse me,’ so you can go to the bathroom.

OFFER TO HELP: Always ask if they need help with anything, even if it’s just setting up the table or bringing dishes inside to the kitchen.

MAKE FRIENDS WITH GRANDMA: If grandma thinks you are great, so will everyone else.

DRESS FOR THE OCCASION: Wear something that is appropriate, clean, wrinkle free and fits correctly.

5 First Great Date Ideas

We are old enough now to figure out that dinner and movie doesn’t work for a 1st date. Talk for an hour at dinner and then not talk for 2 hours at a movie. No good.

Here are some quick ideas for a first date:

1) Play video games – PS3, Wii, Xbox 360, it doesn’t matter. If your date is into video games, it might be time for some Street Fighter Turbo or some Wii Boxing.

2) Visit a new restaurant – New restaurants pop up all the time. Take 5-10 new restaurants put them in a hat and pick one out and go to it. It’s a gamble but worth the shot.

3) Eat in at your/her place- Ask before doing it but if she clears it, just order in.

4) The Aquarium/Zoo- Who doesn’t like the zoo? I am scared of snakes, but they are locked away. Show interest in all the animals.

5)Meet up for a drink- Harmless. If it doesn’t work out, you can leave it there and just move on.Who knows, she might stay around for dinner.
