How would you deal with it? If it was your parents how would you want your date to deal with it?

 

I would shove it off if it is the first few times, however if they continuing it then I would just lash out at them. (with discretion.)

 

Don't take shit.. gnome saying.

For the sake of my significant other, I would bear with it in hopes that they grow to like me, and if they don't, I'll express to him / her my concern about going to visit them and how they treat me when we do.

I imagine it would be better in situations like these to outright go against them especially if I were trying to get them to like me. If I go through a middle man then it ought to make things easier. Besides, ultimately, if they don't like me, they don't like me.

 

I'm speaking hypothetically though cuz it's been over a year since I've even dated anyone so idk what it's like being married  :lol:

I was raised Southern, plus I'm already naturally non-confrontational, so I'd pretty suck it up and if they don't stop it, avoid them like the plague.

 

If my parents were being rude to my date I wouldn't want them to say anything, they're my parents, so I will handle them. I don't want my parents to have anything against my date because they lashed out at them...which is the same reason I wouldn't say anything to someone else's parents. He she/should probably say something to their own parents so I don't end up ruining myself in their opinions. I don't want them to hate or see me as rude.

People in the South are usually nice to dates right?

That's what I thought.

 

Unless you are not white from what I heard.

I'm black...

People anywhere on Earth can have racist parents. I've dated white people whose parents were nothing but nice to me.

Racism isn't as prevalent in the South as people make it out to be. I have family who live up north and they have had more experiences with racism in a year, then I have my entire life.

I'd keep it cordial and check if this is a constant thing in future meetings. If the parents continue treating me disrespectfully, I'd probably try to find out why and fix the issue if I can do anything about it, but otherwise avoid being in their presence.

 

If it was my parents being rude, I'd probably call them out on it immediately and ask them to stop. Not much of an issue because they are generally not disrespectful :)
