Meeting with the FIL's for the first time in 2 years

ndzenowski

My FI's parents dislike me very much. I'm unsure why but it originated with him dropping out of the pre-med program to pick up a physics major and them blaming it on me (they 3 kids, 2 are doctors who went throug the same pre-med program). It escalated into much more and I haven't seen or talked to them in about 2 years. Well, we're meeting today .. and I'm nervous as hell.I'm trying to put alot of stuff behind me since we're engaged but I'm nervous.  I'm kinda looking for advice or distraction for the time being until i have to leave in a few to meet with them =(

Drink.  Possibly heavily   Sure, it may not be the right impression, but you'll feel better.Just try to avoid dancing naked on tables.  Why no, that advice isn't from experience.  Why do you ask?

Ha, yeah we're going out for drinks, FI and I planned on going a bit early to get one drink in us. He's almost as nervous as I am.

You play WoW, imagine they're raid bosses   Ok, that's maybe a bad idea.  I'm not sure running up to them and shooting them with an arrow will be helpful.  Do they like pets?

Kill 'em with kindness.  Bring them cookies, or wine, or something.  Nobody can hate the bearer of cookies or booze TOO much.
