If I was ever married and the guys father or mother were visiting I would give them the front seat and I sit in the back. If it is his friend or anyone else they get the back seat.

I agree with this. Out of respect to his mother/father/brothers/older sisters, I would sit in the back even if they insist that I sit in the front ..... but not if the siblings were really young. However, for friends or cousins, I would take the front and they can sit in the back.
I would let the older people sit in front since they usually have arthritis but I would sit on the front seat in all the other situations.
This really seems to be confusing…Actually one of my male co-worker picks me up and I always sit at the back seat and leave the front seat empty…I’m confused whether I do the right thing or not…Whaddya say? Is it appropriate?
I actually know this one family where the husband's wife and sister-in-law literally fought over who gets the front seat. It got to the point that the other (single) brother purchased a new car so that the sister and sister-in-law didn't have to drive and fight in the same car.
lol, I've got a feeling I'd take the back seat, if the person involved is older than me, whether it be my parents or his or anyone else for that matter.
very interesting. if you decide to move up to the front seat, he might take it as a sign of your approval. If it is a minivan, try moving farther back to the third row seats and kinda hide yourself from his rear-view mirror sight. If you can still see his eyes in the mirror, do the last step and sit in a murgha position in the luggage area of the van.

I've thought about this as well.
I think the case with me would be that my husbands father would sit in front with my husband and I would sit in back with the mother.
If there is no father, then I wouldnt mind sitting in the back.
I personally think its only polite to ask the parent-in-law if they would like to sit in the front.

Munni this is exactly how the seating arrangement is performed in my family, respect is always given to the elders before anybody else, be it the wife or any other member of the family. Since I was brought up in this manner I have always thought it rude when I see the wife seated up front and the father and mother in the back!
Welll, what can I say? I’m trulyyy sorry for the dude. He really is a flirt but I take the back seat not because he’s a flirt but because he’s not my friend or someone close to me…I don’t usually sit in the front with someone who I’m not so familiar with…That’s my rule…It’s kinda big deal to me actually.. :p…So I keep my head down and sleep at the back while the front seat is empty. :o heheh
From reading al of the posts, I guess the solution is to marry someone who is older than your mother. That way she becomes the elder and gets to sit in the front seat.

Well i suggest Buy a scotty :D and have fun with your wife or girl friend
Whoever calls shotgun sits up front with me, the others can get their asses in the back.
Kidding aside, my wife always sits up front with me, parents/brother/friends always sit in the back unless they're already in the car when I pick up my wife.
I have a very roomy backseat so there's no issue of being uncomfortable.
^ hahahaha! Oh man, i remember the shotgun days :D When i wasn't a driver, me, my sibs, cousins, friends used to do that all the time. But even when u did call shotguns, you still had to race to the front seat before anyone else :(
I don't/won't have issues sitting in the back if it's someone older than me, it's one of those unwritten rules of "respect".
