Boyfriend’s parents.

I am scared to meet my boyfriend’s parents because I really want to impress them. I want to be charming, sweet, funny, and suitable for their son. I’ve met previous boyfriend’s parents, but that was in high school and in high school you think you know everything, so anyway… I am feeling anxiety and really can’t seem to relax. What should I talk about? I want to be the conversation starter. Also, my boyfriend has 2 little sisters that are close to my age. I’m afraid they may treat me weird or they’ll be bitchy. How can I make sure they are sweet to me?

my parents do something called the beer test……if they offer you a beer, SAY NO!!!! lol and if they ask you if you’ve ever done drugs, SAY NO!!!! lol that’s mostly what’ll keep you safe. other than that, be yourself. if you get a phonecall that’s not important, don’t answer it. if it’s important, explain who it is in simplest form, and excuse yourself. as for the sweet, charming, and funny part, again, just be yourself. tell a couple of funny stories. tell them your achievements. and that’s pretty much it lol and the little sisters, don’t worry too much about them. you might even end up being friends by the end of the day!

Just be yourself.
Don’t TRY to be sweet/charming/funny/suitable ..it will be awkward and more than likely, you will just come off completely the opposite.

It is always a good idea to impress the mom by saying how lovely you think their home is. Giving complements is something everyone appreciates. Relax and be who you are. Anything else, will be easily spotted as phony. as far as his sisters go, you cant’ make them like you. They might very well, be genuinely impressed with you. Don’t worry so much. If he is nice, chances are so is the rest of his family. Good luck! :)

Be yourself. You can’t fake it forever so just be polite and don’t force yourself on them.
After the first meeting you can begin to open up, but don’t let it stress you or your nerves will get the best of you.

I know it’s crude but my uncle once told me if i was ever nervous about meeting someone I should just imagine them on the loo trying to push one out.

It’s funny but it kind of works. They are only people just like you :)
