Bro not cool....I want it to work But I'll be serious for ya...if, indeed, you want it to work, spend more time with Jenny instead of being on a dating site. She lives in LA and I come here for the forum. Anyway I try my best to spend weekends with her but this weekend is very important so back to topic |

Well another bright idea I got is to talk to my dad to influence my mom. He would really know what to say and how to best compliment her.
|
|
|
|
Honestly, why don't all parties just be themselves... all this fake compliments and figuring out what to say..what to do..
everyone be on their best behaviour and good things should evolve! stop directing this play.. Good luck at the party. |

Jimmy. You are way,way over thinking this.

Jimmy, I think I see what your getting at. You think if you do "nothing" and things go south, you will feel it's your fault. Jimmy, I know this is new to you, but you've got to give your ladies more credit than that. They both know the meaning of their first meeting. You shouldn't worry. I would wait to see how the initial thing goes. Then you know if it's a wedding or a wake! Oh, Rob, you are such a stinker! Yessssss I know! You are right Rob, I will feel awful if things go south. I understand they are modern intelligent ladies but I really want it to work for me. My friends stupidly showed me some hatred movies like monster-in-law, etc and it left me with some negative thoughts. I guess you can understand what I am going through right? Just want to make a smooth transition here Yup, you'll be fine hombre! <- dat means man! I thought hombre meant friend ![]() Amigo is friend and compa! Spanish and Poblano Native. |

Like RustyKitty said. Be yourselves.

|

So all I got is to be myself, do nothing and bring a gift. Any other thought processes anyone has.

I'm pretty sure Jenny and your mom will be fine Jimmy,but you might be the one needing some xanax to calm down.
![]() You're sounding like that guy in the movies , who passes out in the delivery room while his wife battles through the labour ![]() Relax hun . These things have a way of working themselves out. And even in the worst case scenario if things don't go as well as you hoped, Jenny will have many more opportunities to win your mom over in the future. ![]() |

Don't make to much of a deal out of it.
Let things take their natural causes. What the worse can happen your Mom and gf fight it out like two female tigers. Relax and enjoy the day. Give the present to me cause it would look like your bribing them to like. |

Jimmy. You are way,way over thinking this. ^^^...this dude... If this girl is good enough for you, your parents will accept her... If they don't...too bad...its your life... |

Well I have made some plan based on some inputs given by you guys and my friends. I hope it works and things work out in my way. Hate to lose anyone in my life

Wow if the day is not good nothing works out your way atleast. All kinds of wrong you can think happened and now I am in soup. So from today onward, I will be tore between my mom and Jenny. Life is such a difficult lady to dance with, always goes to my wrong side. Man nothing is easily in life for me atleast.

I'm sorry things didnt go well with the meet and greet jimmy.
But please dont allow that encounter to define the whole future of the relationship dynamic between the 3of you. My guess is that you and jenny were trying too hard to make this encounter go well and your anxiety made the atmosphere super tense and awkward. If Jenny continues to be the sweet classy person you have painted her out to be, it will shine through and your mom will come to respect her in time. And reassure Jenny that all is not lost because of this one encounter. Relax , and have a little faith that God and the universe have your backs. All the wrinkles wil lbe ironed out in time ![]() |

sometimes mommies (& daddies) have a hard time 'letting go' ... and no-one is good enough for little johnny, no matter who she is..
that is mommies problem, not jonny's ![]() |

Well I followed all the advises given to me. I bought flowers and wine for the dinner arranged by mom. Introduced Jenny and we were having a wonderful dinner with mild questions about Jenny's background and other playful doubts then suddenly my aunt joined in the party. From there the down hill journey started as I can presume. As advised I left them alone to break the ice but in 30 mins the iceberg hit me. My Titanic sunk in no time as Jenny was angry so was my Mom, I had to immediately take Jenny out of the situation and inspite of asking repeatedly, I am not getting any straight answer regarding their discussion. So that's the story, kindly let me know my mistakes
