I need help getting my boyfriends parents to like me. And suggestions of what I can do besides me myself?
They do not trust or like me. It's because They do not trust or like me. It's because they've only met me once, and I'm not Mormon like them. I love my boyfriend a whole lot. Please do not tell me to break up with him. I was thinking about baking some cookies or something like that..and doing sweet little things to get them to like me. I'm also planning on going over there a lot more. In going to prove to them that I'm not some little demon like they think I am. Any ideas to help them like me more?? They're trying to break us up...everyone is, and I know that they might succeed if they don't start to like me..I'm not over reacting either. I've seen the texts between him and his mother. She's very, opinionated about me. And his father, he thinks even worse of me. It's not just his parents either, his sister seems to think I'm the devil too. I've done absolutely nothing to any of them..

Wear modest clothing, be interested in learning about their church, be respectful and kind. Then they will want to get to know you for who you are.

I might be able to shed some light on this.
Mormons are taught to not date until they are 16 (so that they do not have immorality problems). They are also counseled to date only members. This is because if they date non members, the risk is high that they will fall in love with one and marry that person. This has huge consequences that include :
1. Not being able to marry in the temple. Temple marriage is the highest ordinance and covenant in the church. In Mormonism, the highest form of salvation depends upon the temple marriage covenant between 2 faithful members.
2. Mormonism is a complete life style. Church, service to other members, sacrifice of self, robust youth activities such as boy scouts, etc. make church membership highly involved. A husband and wife that do not share this together will live compartmentalized lives. Some times this is a living hell. It can also have a devastating affect on church activity of the children.
3. The son deciding to forgo serving a mission which gives tons of spiritual growth and is an opportunity not to miss out on.
His parents will do all that they can to ensure that their son stays faithful to the church and enjoys all the blessings that come from it. The only thing you can do that would have a huge positive impact on your relationship with his parents is to show interest in the church and it's teachings.

Ok, you just gotta keep the smile:)) be very polite and use ur manners. Speak with respect to both parents. Baking cookies is a good idea, too. Or buy the mom flowers. You can also invite them somewhere with you and your boyfriend. Like a double date. Try to include them and even ask them to go over for dinner and you can make them something. Offer to help with the dishes. Good luck:)

Walk up to them and give them a big hug and ask them how they are doing. Give them your love. My whole family have been trying to break up my relationship for the past two years. At first we avoided my family, but that made it worse. Then we ended up spending a lot of time with my family so they could see how much we wanted to be together and we were good for each other. Then they started to not try as hard to get us to separate.
