Remember Your Manners
Thank You and You’re Welcome are all important phrases to master, and you should avoid swearing, speaking too loudly, drinking in excess, complaining, and speaking ill of anyone. Never embarrass your date in front of their family, and leave off-color jokes and stories at home. If your partner’s family is cooking dinner, eat anything you are served and be sure to pay plenty of compliments, though you shouldn’t overdo it. Ask if you can help wherever possible, even if your help only involves clearing the dishes or setting the table.
