Nelis Posted October 13, 2009 Report Share Posted October 13, 2009 Just don't tell them you got him off TF.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeeMarc Posted October 13, 2009 Report Share Posted October 13, 2009 The truth is the truth... whether you tell it or not. And... how will you parents feel when they find out that you lied? But then, this is Thailand, where lies are boundless and seem quite acceptable. :roll: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imback Posted October 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2009 Actually, I don't like to tell lie... and If I tell lie, my mom always know...I could not hide my eyes when confront mom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

biachung Posted October 13, 2009 Report Share Posted October 13, 2009 Just tell them where you first met him in person, thats not lying Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
breakofdawning Posted October 13, 2009 Report Share Posted October 13, 2009 I told my parents the truth. They didn't like it at first and gave me a lot of negative views. But time will tell, if he's good or bad. If he lives here, it wouldn't be too bad. U can bring him to meet ur parents often. I think ur parents will change their point of view. All the best na ka!!

Teddy Posted October 13, 2009 Report Share Posted October 13, 2009 I met my gf (now ex gf) through the net. We were together for a few years. When it came to telling my friends how we met, it didnt have a problem telling them the truth. But when it came to my family it did feel a little weird saying "I met her through the net/myspace" But once they saw us together and saw how well we got on (not to be confused with got it on,lol) etc etc...they just dealt with it. So yea I see where your coming from...people who are less informed about the internet may see it as a seedy or dangerous way to meet people....I just said it and waited for the sly looks at each other across the table.lol. They'll get over it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beej Posted October 13, 2009 Report Share Posted October 13, 2009 Can a Don't ask Don't tell policy apply to this ? Yes. Unless you got a gay military boyfriend, he might want to build a stage in your parents front room and make a speech about it. :wink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eagle Posted October 13, 2009 Report Share Posted October 13, 2009 Tel them you met him online then decided to meet in person and got along well. Meeting online isn't so bad, its all in the presentation I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin_2 Posted October 13, 2009 Report Share Posted October 13, 2009 My good friend's father re-married via the internet. Guess she wouldn't have a problem telling him about an internet love! Both my sister and I worked for matchmaker.com early on, so mom and dad would just understand it as an office related thing... :roll: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AAAum Posted October 13, 2009 Report Share Posted October 13, 2009 i did tell my mom the truth... :wink: at first i hesitate...but i think where we meet isnt important more than what/how i tell her his story/ background... who he really is... just imagine how much your mom care of you... the guy from internet is like an "invisible" man... come from nowhere, but thru the cable! especially a guy from another part of the world... how deep you know him... his background... and surely introduce to your parents... ask yourself first... it's ok if you like to share with your parents whom you are dating with... it would be good if you tell his story bit by bit... and wait till the time is right for you and your parents meanwhile you would gradually know whether he is the right guy for you (and your family) somehow, what you worry now is not an essential :wink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see anything wrong with you saying that you met him from the Internet. Are you afraid that they won't like him or are you scare of feeling embarrassed if they laughed at you? :?: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chatty Posted October 14, 2009 Report Share Posted October 14, 2009 Difference family, difference way to deal with. I think I understand imback. My family is conservative as well. They know what internet is. But from the news about internet make them perception gone in bad way. If I told them I met many friends from internet they would freak out. I tried to tell them there are 2 sides of story... Good and Bad. Just my farang friend who they know in real life, they always told me to be careful when I go out with him... "Don't go to his apartment" "Don't go to with him alone, bring some friends with you" "Don't go to pubs and bars with him" "Don't let him touch you" etc. No doubt about my guy... yeah we met on the net. but someday the truth will be revealed. Still don't know how to handle it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pandorea Posted October 14, 2009 Report Share Posted October 14, 2009 Tell the true, and the true will set you free. If I met my hub via the internet, I would tell my parents the true if they ask. (but they never asked). Why is it so important how/where we meet our partner? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chatty Posted October 14, 2009 Report Share Posted October 14, 2009 Why is it so important how/where we meet our partner? haha, my parents wanna know everything about me...about my friends / my colleages / my classmates. "Friends from where?" "How did you meet them" "What do they do" "What do they study" "Where do they live" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
