7 Zodiac Signs Who Know How To Make A Good Impression On Your Parents
They know how to impress potential in-laws.
getty There are many benchmarks during the courtship process: The first date, first kiss, and the first time you lock eyes with your partner and the both of you just knew you had the one. But perhaps one of the most anxiety-provoking things that we have to go through is introducing our partner to our parents.
Even if your horoscope indicates your partner will be calm, cool, and collected, you can't help but get stressed out about them meeting your parents. But when you look to astrology, you can discover which zodiac signs know how to make a good first impression on your parents.
By introducing your partner to your family, you’re telling them that they need to pay attention, because if all goes well, this person will be in your life for a long time. You want your partner to be presentable and not do or say the wrong things.
It’s not that you want your partner to act like someone they’re not, but you want them to be the best version of themselves, and you want them to do it out of respect not just for you and your parents, but respect for themselves as well.
So, let's take a look at the zodiac signs who are the best choices to bring home to mom and impress your dad.
1. CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 19)
Your parents won't have to spend a lot of time with your Capricorn partner to know that they have a good head on their shoulders. It's clear that your Capricorn is hardworking, practical, and wants to make sure there's a firm foundation in place before the two of you move forward.
Capricorns may be shy initially, but once they start to relax, their winning personality will shine through. Your family will probably breathe a sigh of relief if you're serious about a Capricorn.
2. CANCER (June 21 - July 22)
Cancers can't hide the fact that they love you — and it will be clear to anyone who sees the two of you together. Because Cancers are extremely family-orientated they'll be extra interested in your family history and will beg for more stories about you growing up, which your family will be happy to oblige to.
Cancers demonstrate their behavior on how loving, protective, and caring they are. Any anxiety that your parents may have about your partner will be put to rest once they meet them.
3. LEO (July 23 - August 22)
Leos are so kind and helpful, they're bound to win your family over. They're so energetic and enthusiastic that's it's hard not to like them. Leos are straightforward without being mean, and loyal without being overly clingy.
Leos have no trouble showing how much they care about you and how they'll always be there for you. Also, knowing Leo, they'll probably bring a killer hostess gift that the whole family will talk about for a long time. They won't be shy in complimenting you in front of your family; they'll want your parents to know how proud they are of you.
4. VIRGO (August 23 - September 22)
Once your family meets your Virgo partner, they'll be able to relax a little knowing that you've found someone who will match you in the amount of energy you'll put into a long-term relationship. It's easy to see how intelligent Virgo is and how the two of you share the same values.
Your Virgo partner won't get weirded out if the future comes up in conversation — they are excited about the possibilities of your life together. It will be obvious to your family how much you trust Virgo and how you've come to depend on them.
5. ARIES (March 21 - April 19)
Aries is going to get along great with your family and will bond almost immediately with them. Because Aries has so many hobbies and interests, there are sure to be some overlap in what they like and what your family enjoys, so there will be great conversation.
One of the many good qualities that Aries has is that as many things as they're interested in, they also care about what you're interested in, and that they're going to encourage you to step out of your comfort zone and challenge yourself.
6. SCORPIO (October 23 - November 21)
It will be very important to Scorpio that they show how much they respect you and your family. There's no game-playing with Scorpio if they're really into you. They'll be honest with how they feel, and they'll let your parents know how serious they are about you.
A Scorpio partner will teach you new things and keep you engaged in the relationship. They'll be faithful and will try never to lie to you. Scorpios may look great on paper, but after meeting your parents, they'll see how amazing your partner is in real life too.
7. TAURUS (April 20 - May 20)
Taurus are very thoughtful and their concern for you is transparent. They will make a wonderful impression on your parents with their thoughtfulness. If they know that your parents are wine connoisseurs, they'll bring a great bottle of wine; if your parents don't partake of the grape, they'll bring flowers or some kind of artisan food.
Taurus tends to light up a room and have a sense of fun that is contagious. However, they're not frivolous; they have a strong sense of self and have their own values. Taurus aren't hasty and they tend to make excellent decisions such as committing to you.
