Hi there. I'm 16/f. Well here's the story. My mom has a boyfriend,i'm not sure how long they've been dating exactly but my guess is about 4 months? anyways, he has 2 really cute nefews who are 18. But there is one in peticular i think is really cute. But i'm just now starting to meet his family, and i've only met this guy twice, and all it was like "hi i'm so and so". but see both of these boys are having a graduation party next sunday, and i want to go to get to know him better, but i think it may be really weird. like since i don't really know them i don't want them to think, why the heck is she here. but thats my problem. i overanalyze absoulutly evething. my mom thinks i should go because i'm "associated" in with their family, but i just think the boys will think i'm weird for going. but my mom says they won't mind because they're pretty laid back and easy going. but i just don't know. so do you guys think i should go, or would that just be completly weird?? thanks! and also, to get to know him better, what should i talk to him about? i really stink at the whole boy situation. thank you!

All people who are graduating think about are "MONEY MONEY MONEY!!! More people, MORE MONEY!" And your mom's going, right? She's dating the dude...it's pretty much expected of you to be there. NO ONE will think "Why is she here?" So yes, you completely thought WAY too much about that situation, but that's ok! :) lol
As for the whole getting to know him better...I don't think now is a good time. I'm going go assume that his opinion about getting to know his maybe future step cousin isn't a good idea. But then again, maybe he thinks your cute too. So, instead of "getting to know him" see if she gives you "the looks" or makes any other gestures that show he's into you, ya know? Hope this helps! :) [ Andreaaaa's advice column | Ask Andreaaaa A Question ]

If your mother ends up marrying the guy, that would make you related to the nephews by marriage. Talk to your mother about it first and see what she thinks. It just seems a little bit off to me.
And if you do go for it, talk to him about things that most people like. Music, movies, hobbies, school, summer vacation. Just random things that everyone has opinions about.
