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.

...if possible, get a peep of her mother preferably sans make-up. Likely preview of coming attractions. 
As for the rest, they'll probably contact each other after things become "official;" you know, planning, wedding arrangements and such. Other gatherings, meetings will stem from that. I woudn't worry about it.

hey, hey, now, stop that.  I'm sure Bro. Animate's woman is the epitome of fineness, both inside and out, no matter who she most closely resembles.
bruh, for real, though, if moms is still holdin' it down, ....I'll let the resident GC geneticist AKAMonet explain the rest.

I'm saying, some women look more like female versions of their fathers. Not in a manly or unattractive kinda way. They can also take after their father's side.
Just helping Animate know he needs to look at her overall family appearance because her mother's may be misleading. I'm not a geneticist so I dunno all that other stuff.

The parents like me until I divorce their son. Then I become evil.

According to my father, never would have been too soon to meet my in-laws. I'm inclined to agree - whoever realized that "mother in law" is an anagram for "woman Hitler" must know my MIL.
My parents and my in-laws met for the first time a few weeks after we got engaged. My father and my MIL took an instant dislike to each other. They have been in the same place at the same time exactly twice - the other time being my wedding.
That said, a couple's parents should meet each other early on in the engagement, if they hadn't met before the couple got engaged.

I know what you mean. I was bored and having some fun. A lot of attractive women look like their daddy, facially.
I'm sure Bro. Animate has a long and fun marriage ahead of him with homegirl, whether she resembles mama or daddy.

My parents met my husband's parents the night we became engaged.

Animate, first congrats on your decision.
As far as the parents, I look like my dad and I like to think I am fione... I have long hair, clear skin and at nearly 40-something, I am working on getting back my 20-something year old figure.
My MIL met me after my husband and I were married. She did not want to meet me or make time to meet me before my now husband wanted to marry me. We eloped and have been married for ~4.5 years.

I don't think it matters when the parents meet the other's parents. Talk to your G/F and mention that you'd like to arrange for your families to meet one another.
