I met my BF 6 months ago in a club and at the time i told him i had an italian background because i thought it was cool and i can get away with saying that cos i am dark.
now my parents are coming to see us next week and have refused to go along with the story, and i know he will raise it when we go out to dinner.

Maybe give some free advice about: Love Life? hovo answered Tuesday August 21 2007, 2:27 am: Ok well its obvious that your parents aren't going to go along with it, so on your behalf telling the truth is the best thing that you can do. Im sure he isnt going to break it off just because you are not italian...he loves you for you being you and not that you could have an italian heritage. If the topic does come up at dinner, casually laugh and mention that you really are unsure if you even have italian in the family and ask your parents infront of him about your origins. It creates conversation and interaction, he gets to find out about your REAL heritage and gets props from your folks who will love it that hes interested in the family! Trust me, he will enjoy the mini history lesson and your parents will love him all the more for listening! [ hovo's advice column | Ask hovo A Question ]

ADDiCT3DTOHiMx answered Tuesday August 21 2007, 12:17 am: Just tell him "Well, when we first met I told you I had a italian background because I was trying to impress you. Now that your meeting my parents, you would figure out it wasn't true eventually so I thought the best way was to tell you straight up."
