How To Get Acquainted With Ukrainian Girl's Parents: Four Effective Advice from 1948
11/26/2016
The American magazine "University: the publication for young people" contains the publication dated August 1948 and we came across the article about how to behave when meeting with the girl's parents.

Less zeal!
Show her father that you're a man, but do not break his fingers. Lol!
Perhaps you are an energetic person or may be nervous or just drunk. Whatever it was, do not exhibit excessive activity. Calmly shake the father’s hand with moderate enthusiasm. Answer the questions politely, but not too lengthy.

Diversify small talk
Even if you choose a safe subject, like the weather, do not overdo it.
Some people feeling panic keep discussing small talks. "The weather today is not very good. It's cold and partly cloudy. Rainfall is below normal, the pressure is about 749 millimeters of mercury. If we compare the mercury column that was in November last year ... "
Believe me, it is as boring to listen to it as to tell. Why not go into a safe topic? It is better to ask, where the souvenir mask that fell on your head when you sat on the couch was brought from.

Avoid disputes
When you first see her parents, avoid disputes on hot topics.
Try to skip all the political and religious issue. Do not dispute about anything. Do you think these people have been waiting for an unknown person to come and convince them of his personal point of view? I doubt it. But to spoil relations with the hot debate is very easy. Be patient. If you get married with this girl, you will have years ahead to try to change the views of the family.

Do not impose help
The first acquaintance is created to look at each other, and not to get involved into some house things that may end badly.
Good Luck!
