Make sure that you don't check out the mom's butt. Don't look at your gf's bust. Shake the father's hand really hard. Offer to help clean up if you have dinner with them. If they have a pet make nice with it. Bring flowers for the mom and a single flower for the gf. After all this be yourself.

Just be yourself, mind your manners, don't wear all your pierced stuff if you have any. Dress half decent and don't talk stupid.
Bring some flowers for Mom.
Gotta a joke for you:
Boy is supposed to meet girls parents for the first time and have dinner and the girl promises him that they would do it after that. Also for the first time.
Boy goes to Pharmacy to buy condoms, doesn't have any idea so he confides in the Pharmacist and tells him the story and the nice Pharmacist talks to him for an hour, explaining sex to him etc. He asks the boy how many condoms do you think you need.
Boy says oh give me the big package, I think I'll be using them from now on.a lot
Boy rings the bell, Girl answers, takes him to her parents and as they sit down on the dinner table, boy starts saying grace. And he goes on and on. Finally Girl whispers to him, I didn't know you were so religious, Boy whispers back and I didn't know your Father was a Pharmacist.
Good Luck, you'll be fine.

I think you should be yourself this way they know the real you. I know when my boyfriend met my mom he was very nervious but he was himself and he struck up conversations with my mom, somewhere is conversation he told her about himself and what his plans are for his education/ careers, a little bit about his family, show her parents that you have a good personality and a sense of humor. Good luck.

Just stay calm. Parents smell fear.
Try to be polite, ask what they do, how was work. Try and let your girl direct conversation. Don't swear or chew gum and look nice, but not to dressy. looks are everyhting. STAY CALM, though. if you tweak ,that would look bad. or you'd sweat too much and then you'd smell! j/k. maybe think of some parent-ish jokes.

Get a haircut, be polite, dress nicely. Show respect for your girlfriend. Talk about future plans, what you want to be when you grow up, talk about your hobbies, the good ones, ask about their interests.

Bring them a simple gift, eg, flowers, food, etc. Talk maturely with respect, don't out-talk them, smile and speak clearly, gently. Thank them when they serve you with food/ drinks.
Always talk positively about your gf, give genuine praises about her.
Lastly, all the best to you.

ha ha ha well for starters dont try to be all lovey on your woman in front of them. always eye contact when talking to them. and shake hands as soon as your introduced. always call them mr. and mrs. never first names. even if they insist. mam and sir work well and be very polite. dont cuss!!!! good luck buddy!! also no gifts as this just looks like your trying to buy them off ( like flowers and such)
