Take a shower, brush your teeth, be courteous and actually talk! If your guy likes you enough to bring you home he must not be worried that you wouldn't be approved by mom and dad. Just act normal and be open minded to other's family quirks, If you feel cornered or uncomfortable tell your boyfriend he can help!

UH, he's a white guy? Whats that got to do with anything? Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh........oh......you are not white? Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.....still........whats that got to do with anything? Be yourself, make small talk, DO NOT DISCUSS SEX, POLITICS, RELIGION. Ask about family members, what they like, where they live, how many children, favorite colors, simple, easy small talk. Be polite, remember your manners, don't swear, dress appropiately like you are going to see your Grandmother, not a hoochie girl or Britney Spears. Leave tongue rings, belly button rings and nipple rings off, and dress to cover any tats if you have them. If they ask you questions, think before speaking and minds you p's and q's. Try to be comfortable, and offer to help set the table, bring the food out, or clean up. Just be personable and affable and friendly. Do not volunteer too much, but don't be too distant. This is a a first impression you may have to live with for life if all works out. Try to do your best to show your best side. Think of it of like going for a job interview for a job you really want. Not that they are going to hire you, but that you will be demonstrating yourself under pressure. Be like cream on milk, rise to the top! You can do it! Good luck!

Be yourself. Don't act a certain way. Be talkative and pleasant. They are there to impress you just as much as you would be to impress them. They might ask you a bunch of interview-type questions, just do the same back towards them but in a get-to-know you type of way. If they act conceited, walk out.

Well I can tell you from experience that you just need to be yourself don't try to be something that you know you aren't. Rather black or white just be yourself because if he can like you for who you really are then his parents will have to learn to respect his decision. And don't be nervous because parents can pick up on it and use it against you.

Yeah. Relax and be yourself. They'll see what their son likes about you. Just remember that we are all more alike than different and you may be surprised how easy it will be to make a good impression on them.

Hopefully you can be yourself. That hopefully entails respect and courtesy. If you are polite, respectful, and courteous you will do well. Honesty is a plus. It should be tied in with the other attributes.

Be polite, if you are eating dinner, ask to help clean up in the kitchen. If they are open minded they will like you

Most importantly, be yourself. Offer to help out after dinner.

Just be yourself....expect 'some' stereotype (just comes with the territory). Be polite and relax you will be fine.
