Re: Meeting Girlfriends Parents/Playing Poker Summer Job
 
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.

another question to consider: how will your girlfriend feel about you kicking off your relationship with them by lying?

You suck at speaking to parents.




Take the word 'poker' out of your vocabulary for the entire visit.

Say you're signing up with a few temp agencies, but you haven't seen any work yet.

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.

Wow, cool guy...nothing like "you suck at..." without backing it up with reasons why.

While it may be debatable that I suck at talking to parents, there is no question you suck at posting.

Peace!
