Going on a car ride with my boyfriends mom
I'm going on a 6 hour car ride with my boyfriends mom alone. We don't really know eachother really well and weve had lunch together twice and we text on and off small talk a few times a week. I'm stressing over what we will talk about or how it will go. I just need advice on topics or what to do for anyone who has had this experience. I've never had this experience before and I'm nervous cause I'm shy when I'm not comfortable or used to someone. And she knows I'm shy as well. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thankyou

I don't understand what could be the need for a 6 hour road-trip with b/f's Mom. But if you are not comfortable with sitting together in silence, then here's an easy out. People tend to believe that a person is a terrific conversationalist if they ask you to talk about yourself and actually listen to you talk. And none of that involves you doing much talking, just asking new questions every once in a while, even if you don't really care to hear the answers. You can pretend good, right?
So all you really need is questions to ask. Start with the link between her and you...the boyfriend/her son. So, Ask her to tell some stories about b/f when he was little, that she as mom loves. They will differ from anything he's told you of childhood.
You could ask how she met his father. Did she go to college and what did she study. If not, what was HS like for her, was she involved in anything.
What was her childhood like or favorite memories of it. How many different states, or if not the US, how many different areas of the country has she ever visited. Does she have a dream of visiting any particular country.
Ask if she has any hobbies, her favorite foods, colors, etc.
If she talks and then asks you the same question in return, you don't have to go into detail like she may have, just give a basic short answer and then ask her another question. That makes it easier on you. Enjoy the trip.
