Do whatever is more convenient typically it should be the guy going to the girls parents. Or the guy and his parents going to your parents.

Yes, the man comes first.

There’s no set way, do whatever works best for you.

The concept where man has to come first is an old school patriarchal way of thinking where the woman’s side must host the man’s side. It is essentially created for the men’s side to judge them and decide if the family is worth their time.

It depends where the parents are more likely to fight.

like

He and his parents should come to you and your parents.

How long were you in talking stage? If you don’t mind sharing.

It’s great to meet the families. Please still take your time to know each other before committing. Have you talked about all the hard topics?

I received a job offer from company A and am currently negotiating salary. I have an interview with company B next week and know that they offer a higher base pay. There’s no guarantee that I will be offered a job at company B but my gut is telling me that company B would be a better fit for me. Should I accept the offer from company A, continue interview process with company B and then rescind my offer with company A if company B offers me a job? Will I be burning bridges?

Ugh I wanted to take my son to see a UFC match in person. Just so happens there is one in November at Madison Square Garden - great right!

The cheapest ticket in the whole arena, basically top row so you can’t see crap, is $506 before you start with the fees!!! Am I wrong or is that just bananas???? Oh well, pay per view it is, maybe have some friends over. Just complaining… happy Friday!
