As most of you know or have suspected, I have a boyfriend. We have been going out for a little while. He is super sweet and caring. A good match for me in many ways; one of them being he loves to cook and do the dishes(no idea why though, I think he might be mental!). Things are looking good but there is one scary thing that is going to happen...his mother wants to meet me.
Now, the only reason his mother knows about us is because I am the first foreigner he has dated and I made him tell his parents. I have dated guys in the past whose parents were not too keen on their sons dating a foreigner and ended up getting burned. I was not about to let that happen again; kind of selfish but whatever.
So, my boyfriend told his parents about us. His dad was more than happy and said the equivalent to "that's my boy!". Who knows?! His mother was a different story. She was fine at first but then her sister told her something and BAM "no foreigner," "never," and "anyone but a foreigner" all came out of her mouth. My boyfriend reassured me that it would be fine and she is just a worrier. Needless to say, his mother came around and is now fine (again) with us dating. But the idea she can change on a dime is scary.
Anyways, the point is, his mother wants to meet me...which is terrifying. One, we have not been dating that long (a few months, not meet the parent long). Two, what?! we are not talking about marriage (which is when you traditionally meet the parents). And three, she scares me.
She wants us to come to her art show opening in Seoul next week. Her art show! That is terrifying because she will be surrounded by her peers, family, and friends. All of who are equally scary. I do not want to go but my boyfriend thinks it is a great idea because his mother will "love me." I just do not know if I feel comfortable being in that situation. Maybe if it was a nice dinner or something, I would be okay but this is scary stuff.
Who knows what is going to happen but I will keep you all posted.
