Meeting the parents...
I am 16 and my boyfriend and I have been dating for a few months now. The other day, he invited me over to spend Christmas Eve with him and his family. I've met them before, but never actually sat down and had a meal with them or anything, so I'm pretty nervous.
Any advice/tips on how to make a good impression? =]

Tips/Adivce:
1. Dress nicely is the first step. You don't want to dress up too nice but not too casually. Dressing up too nicely looks like your trying to suck up...not trying to make it rude or anything. Or dressing up to casually seems like you don't care. Appearance is what they first see.
2. Try to be interesting. If they ask you about school, go into dept a little. They probably want to know what your aspirations are and what your plans for college is and such. Don't reply, "Good" and let the conversation drag. Try to keep it flowing but not make you talk the whole time.
3. Don't be tense! It will you feel more incomfortable. Try to make it feel like his parents are family and your just at a family dinner.

Well first of all make sure you use good manners but make sure you are still being yourself. You could wear something nice that they will approve of. Don't talk about anything that is inappropriate at the table. Just show them how charming you can be. and make sure to thank them for having you over. Good luck. =]

well the little things that you can do to make a really good impression is:
-wear a nice outfit like a sweater.obviously nothing really low cut etc.
-bring something over like a cake you baked or brownies
-smile be polite, the obvious things like saying please/thank you
-just be yourself..make conversation like about school, your family, tell funny stories, build off of the questions they ask you. dont be too quiet..
dont worry im sure they will love you! maybe ask your bf about your parents and their interests ..likes/dislikes so you can generate more ideas of what to talk about etc. good luck and remember to be yourself!
