Dating & Marrying Ethnic Men

Fun With Your Foreign Boo’s Fam, Language Barrier Be Damned!

Be ready to adapt to how his family has fun.
When my family gets together, music and dance are normally involved. Take a cue from my Italian ex-boyfriend, the first man to accompany me home for Thanksgiving. My sister had bought a karaoke machine, my brother provided the 90’s jams, and we put on a full blown impromptu concert. My ex-Italian didn’t just sit watching us with his mouth open (not that I’d have blamed him. We wilded the hell out that night!). He grabbed his phone, and snapped a series of unforgettable pics. He sent them to us the next day. My siblings still remember him fondly, and we get a good chuckle every time we pull those pics out. Even if you don’t play ball, or dance (like The Ex-Italian) find some way to take part in what’s happening in the moment.
