Not to kiss their asses so that I could date you, but to get to know them. Bond with them. Find out what type of person you are. What type of family you come from. Your heritage. I want to hear the stories they wrote when you were young. The ups and downs you’ve experienced. The advice your parents would want to give to me to pick you up when your world tumbles down.

People think meeting someones parents for the first time is nerve wracking, but I look at it as a chance to get to know you better.
