Want to answer more questions in the Health & Fitness category?
Maybe give some free advice about: Nutrition?
as for the first part simply say "sorry i don't eat meat." that's all you need to say. bring some veggie burgers along so you won't feel like you have nothing. you can blame it on allergies if you need too. it makes you sick, etc.
as for introducing, stick to "friend". if you're at a family gathering, most people will assume you're dating. hah.

Well im sure they will have like salads or something besides just meat so have that instead but if you this bothered by meat just talk to the guy and tell him that your a vegetarian and that you wont be able to eat meat and that your not trying to disrespect them in any way its just how you feel and if he understands great but if he doesnt maybe hes not the right guys for you. And as for the introduction you can say your just dating but not bf and gf meaning you guys are still getting to know eachother.

Maybe you can bring a vegeatarian dish as a thank you gift (my parents always try to bring something to parties) and eat mainly that. If his father bugs you, nicely say that you are a vegetarian. Why don't you ask the guy to tell his parents that you don't eat meat?
And introduce yourself as a friend for now, unless your guy says otherwise to his family.
Good luck,
