When you are meeting someone's parents, you are making an entrance into their lives. If you feel that at this point, you are not ready to be in their life, I suggest you should wait.
The fact that you are questioning meeting his parents, shows me that you are hesitant and I think you should wait until you are more confident about the relationship itself. His parents are excited for him to be dating in general, that is great. But you will be making a first impression, and that is a very important one. Unless you feel confident in your own shoes (not acting) you shouldn't meet his parents. You can wait a little, let the relationship grow.

Never think you have to act a certain way infront of parents. if you are confident with yourself, let your colours shine. This doesn't mean that you can be disrespectful and blunt the first time you meet them. Be courteous and thankful for them inviting you to their home. However do not be uptight. Let them see you for who you really are. If it ends up working out- they will anyways!

Are the two of you officially boyfriend/girlfriend? If not it may be too premature to meet the parents. But if you feel commited enough to him to want to know more about his life and know his parents then it's a good thing. It shows you that he likes you enough to bring you home. If he thought you would make a bad impression on them he wouldn't have invited you.

I suggest be yourself, make sure your language is clean and manners are good, tell your boyfriend about any food restrictions ahead of time like your allergic to nuts or something, and dress casually but conservatively. And have fun!

Good luck,

-Abby
