So you want to take your Tinder boy toy from casual to family Thanksgiving dinner? For the faint of heart, this task may sound like the impossible. However, for this Tinder queen, no boy is out of reach and casual is only a clothing style option. All you need to do is follow my ten easy steps and soon enough you’ll have a boyfriend to complain about to your mom every Wednesday.

Step 1.

Intensively stalk all his social media accounts. Learn as much as possible and be well versed in everything he loves, hates, and pretends to politically care about.

Step 2.

Add all his best friends on Facebook and message them. Keep it simple and introduce yourself as his new love interest.

Step 3.

Plan to hang out during the week. Most importantly plan your hangout during dinner and then bring a crockpot meal.

Step 4.

While eating bring up that his mom’s birthday is getting close, information obtained through stalking, and ask what you’ll all be doing? Bonus Points: already have a gift bought and wrapped.

Step 5.

Force intimate behavior by drinking a whole bottle of wine and inviting yourself to stay the night. Show him how serious you are and bring your overnight essentials.

Step 6.

While unpacking your overnight bag ask if there is a drawer you can have to store some clothes the next time you come over. Also, bring a spare toothbrush and place it next to his in the bathroom.

Step 7.

Stay all night and get a good night’s rest.

Step 8.

Wake up early and make him breakfast in bed. The more extravagant the better.

Step 9.

Stay around the area so you can bring him lunch to his workplace. Get into the building by introducing yourself as his girlfriend and make friends with his coworkers.

Step 10.

Finally, to seal the deal, call his mom by taking the number out of his phone. The fastest way to marriage is mother approval.

And there you have it, instant boyfriend. Ten foolproof steps to jump into your next serious relationship. So happy dating and remember to invite me to the wedding!
