Always be yourself.If you start off being fake,you will have to keep it up.If you truly are nice then you wont appear fake.If your boyfriend has asked you to meet his parents you must have made a good impression on him.If you have made a good impression on him,then he must think that you will make a good impression on them.

1. This is about you, too — not just them. You want to know as much as you can about them, because if your relationship with their son evolves into marriage, you are stuck with them for in-laws.
2. Be yourself. Phoniness is impossible to maintain unless you are a psycho/sociopath. Don't be afraid to ask them questions or give your honest opinions. Main thing is to be polite — not obnoxious, even if they disagree.
3. Watch how they interact with their son. Especially Mom. If you do eventually marry him, who is his undivided loyalty with (i.e. if their is a misunderstanding, who will he back up, his Mom or you?).
4. Does Dad flirt with you, or just happy for his son?
5. Treating first dates, and meetings, as interviews can give you a lot of information to help you decide whether to involve these people closely in your life, or pass. You owe no one anything but politeness, civility and to be yourself.

don't make out w/ him in front of them. don't sneak off to his room and lock the door. engage parents into ur conversation. mention that u have a curfew, that way they'll think that you're a "good" girl. wear appropriate clothing for the occasion. don't be fake, be yourself - good self.
good luck

If they are having you over for dinner bring them a nice wine. Whatever you do whether it is dinner, just visiting etc. send them a nice card telling them how great it was to meet them and look forward to seeing them again.

Then don't fake it. Just be yourself. You are who you are. Either they will like you or they won't no matter how you act. So just be your friendly self and don't fake anything.

Talk about religion and politics. Also wear a really short skirt with no panties and a tight white shirt with no bra.
That ought to do the TRICK.

Well one thing to remember is not to make out around them. I made that mistake and I think his parents don't like me because of it.
