Awkward gay Christmas dinner

How old is your partner? Im sure he's told them all about you, so there gonna be nice =] they'd be happy that he has a loving boyfriend and want him to be happy too. Im sure as the alcohol flows, the evening will too

It'll be fine =]

 

Yeah, how old are you and what race are you and him?

Hopefully they're smart and awkward questions won't get asked.

 

Getting really drunk. Probobly a big mistake. But if you need to feel that a few sips of wine will help you get comfortable then maybe that's what you need to do. Just know your limit (and I'm sure at your age you do) and you should be fine. Also try and keep in your mentality that these people are just curious. Using the word curious might make it less awkward.

Tell us how it goes, I'm excited to hear what happens.

Good luck

 

lol that is a big difference, we'll good luck ! They'll realize that you love eachother and accept it. =]

When ever I get a bit tipsy I turn into a bit of a slut. >_> If I was in your shoes I'd be hitting on his grandma lol.

 

Yeah on second thought, You'd want to be able to remember how good it was when you wake up the next day rather than not know how bad it was =p

But yeah, if you've met the family before, it should go well ~ Keep us informed!

Good luck!

 

You can be tipsy and not make a complete ass of yourself.
But in case if you do drink...and you do get over "tipsy"...Videotape-

Post-
Profit!

Hahahah.
Good luck

 

No matter what i drink i end up an ass :rolleyes: hehe


Vodkaaaaaaaaaaareddbullll

 

Don't even think about it. You've been invited, they're well aware of who you are, your orientation, and your age. So all of that is given. Just go and enjoy yourself. It's SO nice that you've been invited for dinner! That's great! Have a nice time!

 

Yeah, I'd stay clear of the booze. You want them to know and love the REAL you not some drunked up version.

 

Some people on here will think I am a sales person for Rescue Remedy (homeopathic medicine) however, no so... promise. It has helped me face numerous emotional situations when I really didn't know how I would manage or wether I would be able to get through something.

As a dunderhead I don't know how to put up a link but just look it up on the internet. It really does work wonders, and avoids you turning up smelling of booze even if you have only had a small glass of wine.

Smelling of alcohol ALWAYS makes a bad impression.

I don't think they would have invited you for Christmas if they weren't cool with the age/race/sex thing. They will see you with their son, they will see the love you have for him and the happiness you have bought into his life and they will love you for it.

As a the older partner in this relationship maybe you bring him some stability that was lacking in his life before... parents like it when their kids are stable, I know I do.

All the best

 

how old are his parents? if your like close to their age i'm sure they're going to find it weird and freaky. i thought my mom and her bf's 7yr age difference was creepy!
i wouldn't worry about races though. its way more accepted then it was 10 years ago. like my best friend always seems to date black guys and i dated a black/indian girl for a while. i don't think that should matter. or maybe its just accepted here in Detroit because whites are more of a minority, in the city that is. its more white in the suburbs where i am. although we've got everybody. lots of blacks, whites, a few mexians, lots of asians, and lots of middle eastern people. quiet diverse.

 

You can find Rescue Remedy in Tesco's, Boots and many health food stores or in my handbag, the glove compartment of my car, the top draw in my desk at work and my bathroom cabinet :lol:

No seriously Boots or Tesco's is your best bet.

You can even find it in the pharmacies in France!!! But that might be a bit far for you to go!

 

:-/ Well I don't know about the drugs Louise. If he's gonna stay away from the booze, best be staying away from the drugs too? Really the best bet could even be setting a proper state of mind. If you think it's gonna be a gladiator tournment of nervousness then it will be, however if you just think about what many people have said in this thread, you should have a tea party of calm and cool (and maybe fun).

This actually is a really good opportunity for you :-D So quit fussing.

 

DRUGS!!! *she shreiks indignantly* I would hardly say drugs, this is just a herbal remedy which helps calm the nerves and gives a feeling of inner peace. It's a bit like calling camomile tea a drug, except this really works and you don't have to drink ten liters of the damn stuff :lol:

You are obviously not from England; Tesco's is probably the equivalent to America's Walmart so they don't sell anything stronger than asprin.

 

lolol louise you drug peddler!!!! (btw sorry i never replied to your pm about it - i wasn't freaked out, i just forgot. anyway, i won't be needing it, hopefully, because i came out to parents all by own-ty self! )

to lorenz, i would encourage you to go. they must have some desire to know you, or they wouldn't have asked. it could be the start of a good thing. also, if you don't go, how will you spend xmas day? at home, alone, thinking about your boyfriend with his family?

 

Arneithel wins. That's a very good point. (*hug*)
