Well, since I am americanized and I am sure there are some things that are different the way we do with the european. I need help because I am not gonna see her only for a day but it's going to be two weeks. Help, I need help to do this. I am going to stay in the same house with her and my bf, oh gosh this is going to be hard! It sounds like she is nice because when my bf came to visit me, she was asking him about me and say hi to me. However, there are still things that I am concern about, specially this is going to be our first meeting.

well, I would study up a bit on Belgian culture and some of the manners/customs there. Also it might be nice to learn a few phrases, to show her you are trying. But sincerity and a real smile translate clearly all over the world. Be yourself, don't try to fake being someone to win her over. And you will do just fine...

Just be yourself. If your boyfriend was worried about your making a poor impression he would not be introducing you. It sounds like you are traveling to Belgian, no? Take her a little gift and mind your manners. do not sleep with your bf in her house.
My grandmother still talks about my cousin who brought his girlfriend into her home and slept with her instead of staying in the room that she was put in. that was 10+ years ago and he is married now to someone else. europeans are a little more liberal than we are but still be respectful.

take something simple as a gift find out her favorite color or an american product she like and buy one like a scarf or a funny little thing like belgium is famous for chocolates take her some hersheys pot of gold varieties ,, or call the belgian consulate in new york and ask the secretaries if theres something they love from america what a phone call cant hurt

Just be yourself. Honestly, there is nothing you can do to impress them. Even you do something you think that is impressive, will not be important, if they do not really like you at all..
If you show them who you really are, no matter what it takes at least you are honest. Remember people can sense if its fake or natural..So be yourself...whatever you feel comfortable..If you do that, it will flow naturally.
YOu love him, and that what matters most..

When you first meet, bring her flowers. Then, go on from there.
