My boyfriends family doesn't like me?

My boyfriends family does not trust or like me in any way. Mostly because I'm not Mormon, I'm Christian. I need help. And fast. How can I gain their approval. Do you think making cookies and sending them is a good way to start ? Also writing a letter maybe?? HELP

    @ "Mostly because I'm not Mormon, I'm Christian." By that comment, do you mean you belong to one of those churches that teach Mormons aren't Christian? If so, that might be one of the reasons they don't like you, or as you put in another question, trust you. Many Mormons haven't had great experiences with some members of those non-denominational churches that teach that Mormons aren't Christian and that the Church is an evil cult. If so, that might be a reason they don't trust you. They may also feel you are trying to turn their son away from their religion. An expression of support or respect for their religion may help. If you are trying to sway your boyfriend away from his religion, then stop if you want to keep him.

    Maybe learn about the LDS Church from a reliable source, like lds.org, to help you avoid saying anything offensive. Also read "For the Strength of Youth" so you can learn the standards that LDS youth are encouraged to follow. If you are doing something that goes against those standards then change your behavior if possible. If they see that you have the same standards as them, they may trust you more.

    I think the idea to make cookies is a good idea. It shows that you are a thoughtful person.

    Sometimes there are going to be people who don't like you.

    I could be wrong but, mormons tend to want their kids to marry mormons because of the belief that you can't be sealed together forever if you aren't both mormon and don't get sealed in the temple.

    If they aren't friendly to you, then you should consider breaking up with your boyfriend to save you years of crap or talk to your boyfriend and see if he wants to have his parents in his life.

    I would recommend first trying to get them to like you for a while. (some people will never warm up to you sadly). Help them when they are needing help. Smile a lot and show them what a sweet person you are. Be friendly and talkative.

    Don'ts- Give them compliments all the time, kiss up to him, make it obvious that you despiratly want their approval.

    Good luck. I don't want you to have to put up with unsuportive boyfriend's parents.

    From my experience, it's better to either get them to like you or break up with your boyfriend. Trust me, it will save you lots of drama! XD
