It might be a little late to help me as I''m hoping to head over there tonight.
So is there a guide somewhere about how to approach the girlfriend''s parents before the proposal? I don''t plan on asking for "permission"; I''d like to be somewhere between "asking for permission" and "informing them".
What do I say? What do I ask? I don''t even know how to phrase the question. Should I even make it a question so that they have NO as an option?
Some people ask for their "blessing". How does that work? Do we have to be religious?
I can''t believe there''s all sorts of info around on diamonds and rings and proposals, but this step in the process isn''t talked about too much.
Somebody should write a book.
Do all guys (those who feel the need to talk to the parents, anyway) go thru this or am I the only one who has no clue how this works?
Thanks,
WC
