Don't try to impress him, be yourself. What will impress him is if he believes you truly care about his daughter and treat her well. So you are not stuck without being able to talk about much, read the paper and be able to discuss current events. Do not talk about potentially flammable issues like religion or politics and don't talk about your ex-girlfriends. If he does have some special interest, try to learn something about it so he can engage you in conversation about it. Don't fake knowing a lot about it because that will be obvious. You can easily say that your girlfriend told you he was really into it so you decided read up on it. If you get any gift, like chocolate, give it to her mother not him. He will take this as a sign of respect and it will show him that you appreciate meeting the family. It is okay to be nervous, just be yourself and you will feel comfortable much more quickly. Good Luck!

your question is a good one , TO start with , you have a girl friend, so you must of impressed her and i guess it was the first impression that did it for you and your girlfriend. . now you have been invited to meet the father and family. Well if i was you just be yourself when you meet the father , and family , I think it is no good to be going to your girls family , if you are going their and not be yourself , If you are a positive person, and you have faith within your self , then this is all you need , when he as you questions , be honest with them and truthful about your self , Do not walk into your girls friend house , and try to impress anyone , , for this could be your undoing , BE YOURSELF ,DO NOT TRY TO BE SOMEONE YOU ARE NOT , As this will not work ,Look your young lady knows who you are , so let things take its course , Just be you , good luck

You should try to be yourself, maybe it would help. I mean like don't try to become another person. You just show your best, especially, you must show how much you love your gf and how u can give her happiness. i think it is the best impression that you can give him. it is also a lasting impression..
Good luck

Look him in the eye and shake his hand firmly. Don't touch his daughter in front of him. Try to talk to him a little, but nothing phony and forced. Get his daughter home on time. Call him by his name (whatever he introduces himself as is probably what he'd like you to call him).
Think about what you would want if you had a daughter.
Most of all, be as open and friendly as possible.

Forget the dad. Impressing the mom works much much better and he would have to go along with whatever she thinks so charm her without looking like your hitting on her too much. A lil subtle hint of hitting on her wouldnt hurt tho. It will make her feel young again but be careful that you dont do it too strongly .

Be polite is the key.. Engage in a conversation with him now and then. Show him how important his daughter is to you. Dont be too afraid.. Just be yourself.. Get a gift for him.. Its good to bring a gift for a first time visit, maybe wine or something.. Good luck!

Be attentive, answer any questions honestly (as you can!) and listen to what he says. Be mature and by all means, do not grope on his daughter, kiss her, hug on her excessively, in front of her. Perhaps a little hand holding is okay, but be conservative in that area.
Be yourself as much as you can, try to be a little relaxed, but show that you respect him, and be yourself within the few guidelines I just mentioned above.

Be yourself.
Be confident
Be polite
Answer questions straightforwardly and honestly
Dont say anything you wouldn't say in front of your grandmother
Take a deep breath and dont be too nervous, if he thinks you are nervous or you try too had it wont be the greatest first impression, good luck !

just be yourself , and if you dont think yourself will impress him, just be extra kind like open doors for your gf and other women in the house or pull out your gf chair for her if you are all eating dinner just common sweet things , a dad wants to feel at ease when he sees that his little girl is with a biy but dont over do it to where he thinks you are faking but your best bet is not to fake it
