Be yourself. Don't try to be anyone that you aren't.

Be respectful. No matter what kind of parents they seem to be, treating them with respect is a great way to show his parents that their son is dating a mature young respectful lady.
Dress appropriatly. Not any shirts with profanity, or a political statement. Wear something casual, but in a little fancy way. Look nice, this is a first impression.
Shake their hand if they go to shake yours, look at them with a smile and tell them it's nice to meet them. They don't want a girl whose shy and will hardly even wave, make them think you've been waiting to meet them and you are happy.
And all together importantly, be yourself and don't push your limits with this impression. In other words, don't try so hard! Relax and have a nice time, start some conversation. If they ask about you, just tell them a little about yourself.

*Be polite. Call them ma'am , sir , Mrs. ____ , Mr. ____*
*Wear appropriate clothes. Maybe some jeans (not tight jeans.. lol) and a long sleeved shirt..*
*Have good table manners if you eat dinner with them.*
*Don't try to be desperate for their attention and say stupid jokes.*
*Don't do anything nasty with your bf in front
of his parents.*
*Be respectful.*
*Don't reveal too much about yourself or your bf & you*
Good luck. :]

Be respectful and polite. When you meet them, say Hi ___, how are you. It may seem obvious, but sometimes people just say hi and skip the second part. Try to say yes instead of yeah. If they ask how you are: I'm ___, thank you how are you. Most of this seems very common and obvious, but sometimes people skip right over it. Really, keeping things courteous and respectful will get you a lot of points. Also, it really is up to you, but I would suggest dressing presentable. No that does not mean a business outfit, but something neat and nice, not sloppy and all over the place or too revealing. Again - its obvious but often times missed: say please and thank you. So if you remember those obvious (yet sometimes overlooked) simple things, you'll do fine. Hope that helped and good luck.
