well first things... don't like be a total prude to your boyfriend, actually do stuff w/ him even if it is in front of his parents... then they'll know that your not afraid to show your love in front of everyone also dont be a stuck up bitch to his parents... be nice and if they ask you questions ask them truthfully but dont make a total fool out of yourself... be nice to his whole family not just his parents... becasue if his parents find out your being mean to his little sister... ohhh hun your screwed big time! well i hope i helped...

make sure you bring a present for the little sister....not too expensive, because then you will look desperate, but not too cheap either. show some thought went into it. maybe bring cookies or something to put out just to be considerate as well. and other than that, just be yourself. good luck!

That being the way you feel you shouldn't need to do anything out of the ordinary.
Just be yourself and they will like you as much as he does. Be polite and use your manners just as you would when you go anywhere. :)

It's very simple. If you want to make a good impression, be polite, but not too timid. Look nice, but not slutty. Be yourself! People don't like others who seems fake.

#1... just be yourself. his parents will see why he likes you and its better to be yourself than to just be too nice and too perfect. im not saying dont be nice and all, be yourself but make sure you are polite, use good manners, smile, and just be toteli interested into whatever theyre saying. dont worry... you'll do fine!

What I seriously would do is NOT-->be all on him during the party (or whatever).. BUT--> Show you like him and would do ANYthing for him, get him drinks (for example). Compliment him. Help his parents out, volunteer to do some dishes..ask if they need any help during the party! But do not forget to have full and complete manners.. say "please" and "thank you", and don't be rude, like burp or anything. Just be yourself, and you'll be fine!

The best way to get on his parents good side is to be yourself, be genuine, and friendly. Try not to be shy, because this makes you seem secretive and shady. If you seem too excited you will seem fake and insincere. You want them to like you, so try and get a little something for his little sister since it is her birthday. When your bf introduces you smile and say something like, "Nice to meet you." Let them be the ones to ask you questions about yourself, that way you won't babble about something you might not want them to know about. And don't act nervous. Just smile, answer their questions, and also ask them questions too, that way they don't feel like their interviewing you or something. You will appear nice, friendly, and they will feel that you generally want to be a part of their son's family. Just don't worry... if their son is dating you, I'm pretty sure his parents will love you! Just be yourself and relax, because their is absolutely nothing to worry about! Good luck! ~Sherah
PS:) If his parents aren't as excited to meet you and aren't as friendly as you expected don't give up. Just keep coming around, so they know that you are going to here for a while. They will warm up eventually. Remember... this is THEIR son and they want nothing but the best for him. So it is obvious that some parents will overprotect their son and question every girl he is with. Everyone's parents are different. Like my mom... she is very intimidating. When she met my bf she acted like it was an interview. My bf was very polite, answered the questions directly, made eye contact, and smiled... things a person would do in an actual interview. But his parents on the other hand... totally the opposite. When they first met me they introduced themselves and then acted like they didn't really care about much more about me. Well I kept coming back so they warmed up to me and now I feel totally at ease around them. It takes time and little effort. So just don't worry. Things will be just fine! :)

Just be you. Thats hte best I can tell you. Don't pretend to be something your not. Don't be shy. Don't be scared either. Parents can pick up on that! (lol). Just act like you two normally would, except if you are into the exhibition thing (i dont know if you are or not...) then keep kissing and things like that to a respectable level. respect them, since it is their house...and just be you above everything else. Good luck!

Hun> the biggest thing you can do is BE YOURSELF! Thats what made their son fall in love with you in the first place!! You cant be something youre not!

It's real simple. When you get there ask his mother if there is anything you can do to help. If she says no just enjoy the party, do that. Then, when the party is winding down and people are starting to leave ask her if you can help her clean up. If she says no, you are off the hook. But, you may even go ahead and help tidy up while the party is going on. Just take the initiative, as you see empty plates pick them up and put them in the sink if they are china plates or trash if paper. This will go a long way with his mother. Most of all have a good time and be yourself. This will all indicate to her that you are a sweet person who obviously cares very much for her son.
Good Luck!

Well for one, you don't want to be TOO nice, parents especially can see right through that. As nervous as you are you really do just have to be yourself. Tell them how much you enjoy being around their son and that they have done a good job raising him--they would really appreciate hearing that.

First of all that is really sweet of you. Its really great that you want to please his parents, so good for you. Smile a lot at them and talk to them like you would any other adults. Show respect, and ask them questions about themselves and their lives. Show general intrest in them. As for your boyfriend, be respectful while in their home. I dont know how old fashioned they are, but dont get too touchy feely. Holding hands and hugs are okay, but no hands on thighs and such. You dont want them to think that youre all about the physical aspecg of a relationship. Oh and I dont know how old his little sister is but make sure you talk to her. If shes young, play with her a little bit . If shes too old for that, make a little conversation and treat her like shes your friend. His parents will probably notice that and see you really are a nice girl.
Good luck! Im sure they will love you. Let me know what happens!

Had that situation and I will tell you honestly..you have to be yourself. Parents can seem to just tell when someone is being fake about who they are or trying to impress them.If their son picked you, then they will more than likely see in you what he saw and parents really do want to trust that their children have learned or were taught well by them and that their choice in a mate will reflect that. If you want physical things, don't dress to provocatively, do fawn all over their son in front of them (like always kissing and hugging him, smiling sooo hard at everything he does and says, pointing out cute things about him that you find so sweet..things like that), you can talk about their son to them but don't go overboard and just gush everything...just have polite conversation with them. ALSO..big thing, if he is very family oriented, try to mingle with other members of the family, let them get to know you. Don't just sit in the corner or just hang withhis parents and no one else, it would be like you were really obvious in trying to get brownie points, even if you weren't. They all will be watching you, in their own ways, whether you notice it or not, just be comfotable and go with the mind set that this is not the "meeting" that will determine if you and he will marry, just go and be natural. By the way, I married the guy I am speaking of and his parents let me know that they knew right away what kind of woman I was just by how I interacted and handled myself in the situations I found myself in when it came to interacting with them all...and his family is HUGE!!!!!!!!
Good luck and keep me posted!!
