Hey girl, you should just be yourself. You should pretend you're talking to your friends. Now when you're talking to his mother ask what she does for a living. When you're talking to his siblings ask what grade they are un and if they are in college ask what they major in. I hope this helps.




Thanks and remember to come back for more advice.

Maybe talk to them about work. Always show interest in the kids and just be really friendly and open (to a certain extent), be warm, give hugs and smiles whenever and wherever. Help whenever!! Offer to set the table and clean up and things like that, if you're sleeping at their house, make your bed every morning and leave the toilet clean. As they all say actions speak louder than words.
By the way, your boyfriend is probably really close to his family, and so he's really excited he has something to perfect, and so he wants to share it with them. This may not even be something big like, meeting the family for marriage or anything, it is probably just a get-to-know my girlfriend, just bluntly because I think she's perfect and I want everyone to know.

Ah, trust me. I was so scared and I felt rushed when my boyfriend (now of 10 months) wants me to meet his family. Tell him calmly to take it slow, you're a shy person, but you really like him, it's just you're shy. He'll understand. When you go about meeting his parents, and other family members, be calm and don't look away, (which I know, it's going to be hard to do)

Just be like, Hi. I'm ... or whatever else they talk to you about. Just look them in the face and that way they'll know you're trying.

Just relax, it gets better. Haha.
Hope I helped, let me know. =]

Just try to relax. It's a compliment that he wants you to meet them. That being said, there's not a lot you can do except know that however you act around them is fine. Coming across as shy isn't so bad. Don't beat yourself up about it. Most people are shy around people they've just met. You'll loosen up eventually.
