When should a couples parents meet?

I agree. I would never propose without getting to know her family first. All of these people are going to be part of your life from here on out. I would want to see how she interacts with my family, how they interact with her, how she interacts with her family, and how I get along with her family. That's all part of getting to know her better.

Of course, it was somewhat moot in our case -- her sister introduced us.

Has anyone ever met someone's parents and you got along with them like oil and water? And no matter what you did, they were just determined to not like you? What did you do about it?

Nope. I'm too likeable.

Even if I had met some like that years ago, I wouldn't have cared because I was too young to see future potential in my mate. It would've just sucked for the time being.
