How to Build a Relationship With a Girlfriend's Dad
- 1). Act politely around your girlfriend's dad. Whenever you see him, greet him with a "hello" and ask him how he is doing. Ask him how his job is going or what his plans are for the weekend. Also, occasionally give him a compliment by saying his shirt looks nice or that you like the decor in his living room. By making the effort to talk to him, you will prove to him that you have a genuine interest in getting to know him better.
- 2). Show him that you care about his daughter. Always hold the door open for her and occasionally buy her a small gift or flowers. Even if you aren't his favorite person yet, he will be happy to see that your relationship with her is strong and healthy.
- 3). Spend time with your girlfriend's dad. After you have been around him a few times, ask him to go to a football game with you or out to lunch. Spending time together gives you a chance to get closer to him.
- 4). Talk to him about your positive aspects and goals. For example, telling him that you plan to continue your education or are getting a promotion at work shows him that you are hard working and ambitious.
