Meeting your boyfriend's family for the first time is an event that often leads to hilarious and awkward situations. A young man in Guangxi, China, encountered an embarrassing situation when he brought his girlfriend home to meet his family.
They had been dating for a while, and the guy planned to ask his parents for permission to get married the moment he introduced his girlfriend to them. Unexpectedly, his girlfriend was so naive that she embarrassed him terribly, and he even considered calling off the wedding.
Seeing that they had guests, the boyfriend's parents prepared a table full of delicious food. They also invited other older relatives to join them for the meal. Before all the guests arrived, the girl saw some delicious-looking shrimp on the table and couldn't resist picking one up and eating it. This action displeased the boyfriend. He commented to his girlfriend, " Why did you eat before the guests? That's not appropriate."
The girl's inappropriate behavior when visiting her boyfriend's family for the first time.
At that moment, the girl stopped eating and forced a smile.
A similar story unfolded with another young man in Guangxi. His girlfriend also casually ate before the guests, and when her boyfriend pointed it out, she strongly retorted: " Am I not a guest? Why can't I taste it? That doesn't happen in Beijing. Why are your family so strict?"
The young man replied irritably, "Beijing is Beijing, and this is Guangxi. You have to follow the customs here. If others see us like this, they'll judge you as ill-mannered and won't agree to our marriage."
However, the girl ignored it and continued eating alone. Many people left comments such as: "There are no regional customs here; it's just basic manners and politeness."
Perhaps many girls can't distinguish basic rules of etiquette and blame their boyfriend's family for having too many rules. Small things can be adjusted, so you shouldn't be so carefree and tactless that you "lose points" in the eyes of your boyfriend's family.
Many Chinese women have decided not to get married.
