How could turning into Ms. Polite be a bad thing in trying to impress his parents? Just be yourself.

I'll just bet your "friend" is much younger than you, am I right? Or at the very least, a LOT more immature. Because his attitude is so reflective of most young gay men these days. Not only could they give a rat's a$$ about older GLBT people, but probably about older people in general, which unfortunately is how a lot of this generation thinks of their elders, regardless of sexual background on either side of the issue. I think he got it backwards - YOU and your BF certainly don't need friends like HIM. I take Metro and the buses here in DC, and if an older or handicapped person needs that priority seat and I'm in it, I will get up and move or allow them to have it. It's kind of amusing, though, when some older people actually seem INSULTED when they're offered that front seat. But that's for another question entirely. But you and your other half keep on being true to yourselves. It's a sign that you were raised properly. Unlike OTHER people.

If you want to eat truly healthy, lose body fat consistently, normalize your blood pressure, cholesterol levels, prevent cancer, and even boost your brain health and energy levels, you may have heard all over the news that the Paleo Diet has been found to be one of the best methods of achieving all of these benefits compared to any other popular "fad" diets out there. Go here https://bitly.im/aMmZZ
The truth is that the Paleo Diet will never be considered a fad because it's just simply the way that humans evolved to eat over approximately 2 million years. And eating in a similar fashion to our ancestors has been proven time and time again to offer amazing health benefits, including prevention of most diseases of civilization such as cancer, heart disease, alzheimers, and other chronic conditions that are mostly caused by poor diet and lifestyle. One of the biggest misunderstandings about the Paleo Diet is that it's a meat-eating diet, or a super low-carb diet. This is not true

Be sure to dress very classy. Be sure to speak clearly and don't use the word, "like" a lot. Have good answers to the following questions:
What are you going to be when you grow up?
What has your education been like?
What are your plans for the future?
I'm not sure how old you are, or what you do, but be sure to be prepared to talk about your job, hobbies, and your family. Be sure that you only say nice things about your parents, other parents love that. Compliment his mothers cooking too, she'll love that! Be nice, but not fake. Shake his parents hands and smile a lot. Good Luck!

Relax! is the first thing you need to do. Everything will be fine if you just be yourself. Try alittle humor and ask his parents questions about themselves. They'll see how interesting you are. Or try to find some common ground with them.

Just act yourself but don't be TOO open. Try to carry on a nice conversation and don't be all about him. Try to interact with his parents, it'll make for an easier night.

Just be yourself. Act is if you would if you were having dinner with your family. If their not going to like you at least let them not like the real you. There is no worst feeling than someone disliking you for someone your not.
