I hope she’ll be herself. I’m not going to tell my son what I think, because that’s really none of my business, good or bad. I mean, if he asks, I might say a little, but I hope he knows his own mind. My job is to be supportive, even if he’s making a mistake in my opinion.
So I just want to get to know her and I’d like to like her. I want him to be happy with her. Other than that, I can’t judge based on her career or education or background because I don’t know how she’ll change over life.
I know my parents didn’t like one of my girlfriends, but they never told me. I think they liked the one I married the best. I don’t know. They never said. I think my wife probably gets along with them better than I do, now. But I guess they’re the only “parents” she has, now that hers are gone.
Life is long and relationships change over the years. Just remember, the first impression is just the first impression. Things can change over the years, even if they don’t like you at first.
I think that if you ask a question like this, you are probably not an exuberant, outgoing person. You’re more of a worrying type. I don’t know how that will mesh with his parents. They could be outgoing and think you are repressed. Or they could be very closed up and think you are wild. You never know.
I think your goal should be to get to know them. They are, after all, your bf’s parents, and shouldn’t be too different from him, unless he befriended you to make a point to them. A kind of rebellion.
