First time meeting girlfriends parents. Help please. (I am looking for someone who is a parent to answer)?

[Nick]

Me and my girlfriend have been dating for about a month and its time to meet her
parents. I have met past girlfriends parents
and really fucked up and I hate doing that because its embarrassing and I don't forget it.
Anyway, what should I do when meeting this girls parents? How should I act? What do I
talk to them about? What should I wear? Stuff like that. I think I'm more nervous then I
should be but I still want some help:/. I'm 19 if anyone was wondering. I'm looking for anyone who is a parent to answer

A nice pair of jeans and a button up shirt. Yes ma'am, no ma'am, and the same with sir. Don't forget your pleases and thank yous. Be yourself. Be honest, let them know that you are nervous meeting them because their daughter means a lot to you. Ask them what they would like to know about you. They will probably ask about what kind of work you do, if you go to college and if not do you plan on attending and what you would major in. Where you grew up and in what kind of neighborhood. Avoid religion and politics at all costs to start off with. If they bring it up, just go with the flow. Good luck. My daughter is 16 and has been dating her boyfriend since they were 13 and I love him so much.

I'm a parent, but just to a 6 week old so I'm probably not the person you would want to answer your question.
But I just wanted to say that I have been in the same boat as you! Whenever an old boyfriend of mine mention meeting his parents I'd feel physically sick and for a while make excuses not to go!
Just be yourself, you want them to like you for who you are! They will probably ask you most of the question about yourself, your job/education, family and things like that. Just generally show an interest in their lives aswell

Why can't you be yourself? Why can't you dress the way you always dress? Why can't you act the way you always act?

It's normal to be nervous but you shouldn't have to become a totally different person just because you are meeting your girlfriend's parents. Be yourself! And if you don't like who you are, change permanently, not just for a day to leave a good first impression.

I am the parent and I would want to see the "real" you.

When my daughter brings home her boy friend.....
I would hope he would be decently (no sagging pants),
No vulgar language,
Look me in the eye while we talk,
Treat her mother and I with respect,
And turn your phone off......
Communicate with them.....
You can check your social media LATTER !

No reason to be nervous......
Unless you feel guilty....
While her father is sharpening or cleaning a weapon !

Dress for succes. Wear a nice pair of jeans(no holes) and a nice shirt such as a button shirt. If you are eating there have manners when you eat. Simply say "thank you" and don't shovel your food in your moth. Don't act nervous while your eating, and hold your fork nice, napkin on lap, and say "food is delicious" or something like that. When you meet her parents, act normally. Say any accomplishments you have ever made, and what college you are attending if you are, and what you are going for. If you really like this girl, and want to spend the rest of your life with her. Make friends with her parents because you will be seeing them a lot.
