Meeting Girlfriends Parents/Playing Poker Summer Job

[Slow Play Ray]

just say you do not need to work this summer, as you have independent means.

*edit* scratch this idea; it's going to make you look like a drug dealer. just tell them the truth.

I don't get it... unless you're going to say "I play online poker" (which you obviously don't want to say) you're going to be lying to some degree, so use the lie that is least likely to bite you in the ass: "I work in an office, I basically fetch coffee for a lawyer, it's easy but boring. What do you do?" etc. They'll be satisfied yet the job is so disinteresting that they won't badger you for more details.

This is really full-proof.

What company?
Where are they located?
What's your bosses name?
Who else works there?

Yeah, foolproof.

Unless her parents work for the gestapo or something it's unlikely that this series of questions will come up, but just in case:

Sampson and Goldstein, 189 Broad St. (your town, your state) boss is Jonathan Goldstein, small ambulance chaser lawyers basically, I type up some documents and keep the coffee hot.

Do you suck at lying so bad that you couldn't come up with that [censored] off hand? Jesus christ.

Just tell them you're a latex salesman for Vandelay Industries.

You are obviously not a parent.

LOL. No chance this will work with me (the parent).

I lie very well, but I'm 43. I'm an even better lie detector -- especially when it's lying punks that want to bang my daughter.

I dunno man... my girlfriend's parents never grilled me about what I did/do, although I will admit I've been looking at this from the perspective of a 24-year-old... if OP is like 16 or something her parents might look at it differently. But honestly I've temped in bush-league little legal offices before, I don't see how making one up is so obviously transparent. A lot of it depends on how good of a liar you are though.

In all honesty guy, if you want the parents to like you AND respect you, tell them the truth.

I have no idea how old the OP is, but he did say he was meeting them for the first time. Getting a good old-fashioned grilling from the old man needs to be expected (which is the reason for his post).

Let's just say I'd like to be a fly on the wall if the old man is like me, and he thinks he's being lied to...

If they ask these questions, you need to leave ASAP.
