How to Tell your girlfriend's son you are dating his Mother

from wikiHow - The How to Manual That You Can Edit

It is not difficult to do if you plan it out correctly.

Steps

1. Plan how you are going to do it. You might want to write a letter or you might want to talk to him directly. This depends on the age of the son. If he is old enough, you can talk to him as he is in a better position to understand you.
   
2. Develop a friendship with him. This is important as only then he can be comfortable while you talk to him.
   
3. Identify how the son's relationship is with his mother. Is he very close to her? Is he possesive about her? This can be found out by talking to his mother (i.e., your girlfriend).
   
4. If the son is close to his mother, it is quite possible that he can't digest such a relationship fast enough. If this is the case, let the mother speak to him first about this. That would make it easier to convince him.
   
5. Explain to him, how you and his mother feel lonely and you need each other. Be very honest here and tell each and every reason you want his mother for.
   
6. If he revolts, both you and his mother must try to convince him by talking to him either in person or together.
   

Tips

• Make the son a part of your party-time. If you and his mother go out, offer to take him with you. This will have the effect that he will see you as a good person.
  
• Never argue with the son and don't try to direct him. He has more right on his mother than you do.
