PartickGHBusan,

Wow it seems like you got a good story and experience. Are you a lifer here in Korea?

Didn't show up that way but all of them had seen me before running around like that.

We went out to a restaurant to meet first. very awkward. I felt her dad was alright with me very quickly whereas her mother was very suspicious and stand off ish.

Most awkward moment was being asked what I saw in their daughter. I was very embarrassed to tell my gf at the time what I saw in her to translate to her mom and dad.

I just blanked out thinking what do I feel, what do they want to hear, how should I put it type of thing.

Guess it is just me being unable to express my feelings or being a private person.

I suppose I wanted to say you treated your daughter like crap and only cared for your son and she has been wonderful to me and we get along and trust each other type of answer but yeah very unprepared at the time to answer that one.

Should I have said the sex was good?

Know what your are going to say!

The first time I met my fiance's parents when I went to pick her up from home to take her to a burn hospital for a serious burn she sustained on her calf from the tailpipe of my motorcycle. Not an ideal situation~

Before then however, I knew already her parents were rather cool with me...and remarkably the father is more at ease than the mother. She is the youngest daughter, and I am 10 years older, and while the father is quite friendly and such, the mother while friendly is more reserved (although my lady tells me that is mainly because she is shy)

I guess what helped me out more than anything was that I had always been telling her this or that about life, situations, etc...and it was always the same advice that her parents were giving her. Because she was going around telling her parents "My boyfriend said the same thing" so many times concerning various issues earned me points that I was a guy they felt had a good head on his shoulders.

For you guys who know in advance that the father hates mixed relationships and stuff, how did it actually turn out upon meeting with the father?

My girlfriend knows that her father hates mixed relationships already, but I was kinda holding some hope that he might change his mind when its his own daughter.

Kinda worried, cuz he always calls his sister things like "crazy bitch" for marrying an Arab guy. That said, he hires Bangladeshis and stuff at his factory and really likes them. All his friends hire foreigners too. He just hates mixed relationships, not the people.
