Teen Tips s By VIVIAN BROWN If you want to impress that new boy invite him to meet your folks. This will not only make a_ hit with your parents, his parents and him,. but it'll make life sim- pler for you when you want: to date him in the future. Many girls write letters. to this column complaining that their par- ents insist on meeting their dates before they are permitted to go out, and most girls seem to think it is unfair, But do you know lots of boys must introduce their girls to their parents before they date them. You might not realize it, but that easual invitation to a-holiday or birthday party at his home may be just to give his Mom and Pop the - look-see. ‘The famous father of four boys, Bing Crosby,-said in a recent article that he insists on- meeting every girl his four sons date.
