Dear Missy,

I know exactly how you feel… Don’t worry about the topics – they’ll be the ones entertaining you and coming up with questions, stories etc., I assure you :)

Although you might compliment them on their son ( what a gentlemen he is, how smart he is etc.), the house, the dinner…

It will be great, don’t worry, sweetie!

Obviously I’m here because I’m meeting my boyfriend’s parents soon, but the thing is, im not nervous. I’m just a little worried about what to talk about. Also I kinda feel out of place and awkward when it’s just me and his family. :/

I am going to meet my boyfriend’s parents this Sat and after reading this I am actually feeling a lot more nervrous than before. My boyfriend and I have not been together very long and he said this is a very casual meeting. I have never met any of my ex’s parents, nor have I brought anyone home to meet mine. He had assured me this is nothing formal and now after reading this I am freaking out a little. Should I tell him no after I already agreed to the meeting?

I agree with you, First impression matters a lot. If he’s not accepted the first day..wooh

Dear Cassandra,

I know how nerve wrecking this experience can be and there isn’t much you can do about it. Except a couple of shots of Jack Daniels… (kidding!). Just think about the fact that his parents are too nervous about the meeting. They too are worried about making a good impression on the girl their son loves, so, you guys are in the same position :)

But despite all the nervousness, I hope your meeting went great!

I’m meeting my boyfriend’s family tonight and I am very nervous. I’ve known about this night for weeks and yet, still nervous. I just relax, take a couple of shots of Jack Daniels (Just kidding!) and be myself. Thank you for this article.

Steph,
I met my boyfriend’s parents 2 years ago also. I’m not shy at all and I STILL have difficulty talking with them! It can be akward.
Just try to be “normal” and strictly yourself. Stick to a conversation in which you are comfortable. It’ll get easier, I promise.

Well I met my boyfriends parents 2 years ago! Til this day I still can’t talk to them. I am really shy and when I start talking to his mom I mess up what I said. I’m frustrated and I don’t know what to do.

After reading this I’m starting to feel more and more confident about meeting my boyfriend’s family for thanksgiving, and I plan to help his mom out and show her that I can be a responsible woman, and worthy to be part of my boyfriend’s life and her’s.

Yeah, this was pretty helpful to me, thanks!! :D

I’ve met my boyfriend’s mom a couple of times before and she’s really cool. I am yet to meet the rest of the family and it’s making me feel very squeamish about it. I hope it turns out well…..’cause my family approves of my boyfriend very much.

It’s really scary meeting your boyfriend’s parents for the first time. Just act normal and be yourself. Parents have a strong sense when it comes to this.

I liked this article a whole lot.
I will be meeting my boyfriend’s parents soon and want to make the right impression. I know that I will be myself because parents can see right threw people and they will see my intension’s are good. Thank you for writing about this issue now I know that what I’m doing when I meet his parents is just going to be fine. Also this can apply to him meeting my parents which he will do sooner then me meeting his.
