I am in a long distance relationship with my boyfriend( its only like 3 hours difference) we have been together for about 4 months and he wants me to meet his family for dinner. I am nervous as hell but how should I act? His family is REALLY REALLY close to one another too everyone knows everyones business.

You should act like you normally act. If you act any differen then your boyfriend will wonder whats going on. I say the only thing you should change is your manners if they arent up to par.

I'd just be yourself. Anyone's gonna be nervous the first time they meet the parents. But it's actually not that big of a deal. He's probably been talking about you, so they already know a bit about you, I'd bet. Dress appropriately for the restaurant, and don't wear so much makeup you look like a clown. Talk to his parents like you would anyone else's parents. School, your friends, and hobbies are bound to be conversation starters. Good luck! :)

Meeting parents can be nerve racking and scary haha. But don't sweat it, once you meet everyone and you all get talking it won't be bad at all. Act really friendly to everyone, smile, be sweet and respectful to his parents, and nice to his siblings. They'll ask you questions about you, your family, hobbies, etc. so just tell them about yourself. Tell them about you're future plans for school, stuff like that. And don't be afraid to ask questions to get conversations going. If his mom is cooking the meal, compliment her on how wonderful it tastes, tell them you like their house, when you leave thank them for a great time, and that you can't wait to see them again. Also, when dinner is over, offer to help with picking dishes and food up to take it to the kitchen. Mom will love you. Try not to be shy.
Dad's are usually easy to win over, and as long as you're sweet to the mom, you're good to go.
Just make sure you dress conservatively. Don't show too much leg or cleavage. When I meet a guy's parents for the first time, I usually go with a cute knee length skirt and a cute top. Nothing too fancy, but looks put together and nice. good luck :)
