Want to answer more questions in the Relationships category?
Maybe give some free advice about: Love Life?
Do: Treat her like a friend
Don't: Be too friendly and gossip or start cursing.
Do: Compliment her
Don't: Overly compliment her. one or two compliments are good but too many make you seem nervous and fake.
Do: Tell her how much you enjoy being with her son.
Don't: Go into full detail of what you guys do together.
Do: Tell her it's nice to meet her.
Don't: Say it fake. *Always be sincere about everything you say to her.
Do:Be yourself!(But in limitations)
Don't: Be fake. And don't start talking about uncomftorable stuff (Like periods or making out)
It'd be ok to wear make-up don't put pound it on. I'd say a little eye-liner and some cover-up would be fine. Maybe lip gloss.
Don't wear jeans. I'd maybe wear a nice white skirt and sweater or a shirt. You can also wear nice pants or gauchos.

DO -
Be comfortable.
Compliment her hair, outfit, home, ect.
Bring up some real life topics. If she's someone who watches the news a lot and is into the current things that are happening, bring up a topic about whats going on in the world.
Wear something nice and classy. Don't wear like a huge wedding dress or something, be simple.
Be simple with your makeup. Put a little eyeshadow on. Some mascara, maybe even some eyeliner. Go for a coral/light pink color for your lips. And some light blush.
DON'T -
Wear something skanky that shows a lot of cleavage or wear a really short skirt and fishnets, that'll definitely send the wrong message.
Don't be nervous!
Start making out with your boyfriend at the dinner table or something.
Burp, slurp, ect.
Best of luck!

dont feel unworthy- the fact that youre so willing to make a good impression on her would mean a lot to her if she knew. id say makeup is fine. wear, probably a cute polo, and a decent pair of capris and flip flops or sumthin. nothng to dressy, and nothing to worn in. other than that- be yourself, and everythig should go fine. good luck.

*for the added info scroll to bottom*
dont over do make up
if you are going out to dinner, a nice skirt and blouse
NO V-NECK!
if you are going to their house, nice jeans and maybe a t-shirt will work
just overall BE YOURSELF! wear what you are comfy in, be polite, and just act how you would around someones parent. I'm sure you are nervous (i know i was the first time i met my bf's parents) so just try and calm. Don't be fake and cheesy, compliment them, but not in a weird "oh i see where so-and-so gets his looks" cheesy and werid!
Hope i helped! :) Good luck!
P.S. im sure you will do fine!
P.P.S. no one is unworthy of anyone! EVER! if his mom is nice on the phone to you, im sure she is nice in real life, and in my experience, if boys moms dont like you, they wont be nice to you! If she doesnt think you are unworthy, you shouldnt eaither!

For the outfit, something nice (no jeans or miniskirts) and not revealing, with subtle jewelry...the look you're going for is classy. It depends on what you're doing though...if you're just going over to his house don't look overly dressed up and fake. Natural makeup- mascara, blush, and a natural looking lip gloss. But the thing that's gonna matter the most is how you trat her so no matter what she does or says BE POLITE.

Wearing makeup is fine, just don't go overboard, you don't want to look like a whore. As for the outfit, where something more sophisticated, you don't want to look like trash. Make sure you don't wear anything too revealing or tight either. His mom won't want to see your cleavage or belly button. Also, just make sure you are polite and compliment her and whatever, just once or twice, you don't want to seem like you are sucking up. Don't bring up conversations that might be awkward and make her not like you. Sex is an obvious example. Hope this helps and good luck. Don't worry she'll love you.

ok, dont OVERDO the makeup, because a lot of moms think that the make up these days are very whorish. you dont want to look like a ho do you? and be polite, but not to polite, because than she could think your boring because you dont laugh. and dont do fake laughs, real ones only. wear something casual that could be fancy, since you dont really know her. like a halter, and a knee-ish length skirt. minis arent good for first meetings, and halters can be casual or dressy

Do's
----
* Be yourself, she'll spot if your being fake
*Be polite
*Compliment her, but only on things you think should be complimented, eg. dont say nice things about her awful haircut, say nice things about her gorgeous house (what i mean is compliment her on what you like).
*Wear natural makeup - some mascara, sheer lipgloss and bronzer or blusher.
*Wear a colour cami (tank) in a colour that reflects your personality - eg. if youre calm wear blue, if youre kind wear green, if youre confident wear red, if youre happy wear yellow, if youre daring wear orange, if youre girlie wear pink, if your smart wear white and if your independent wear black.
*Team your cami with skinny jeans and heels, or a knee length skirt and flats

Some mothers are lovely and some mothers can be right witches. Until you meet her you will have no idea what she is like. Don't make judgements on the first meeting and treat her how you would like to be treated back. Be polite and honest and above all be yourself. Your boyfriend obviously thinks highly enough about you to want to take you home and if it helps, come up with a signal you can use if you start to feel uncomfortable. Wear what reflects your personality but obviously not if it reveals too much flesh. Wear make up if you are happy to but don't overdo it.
I have a son who 21 and as a mother I don't want my son to get hurt but I have to respect his choices. I hope the meeting goes well and you get on with his mum but don't take it too much to heart if she doesn't like you. Some mothers are reluctant to let their children go regardless of who they are. I wish you lots of luck.
