Here's what you do. You be the most gentlemanly man you can be. Open doors, pull out chairs. Wait before you eat to see if they say grace. Bring the Mom flowers. Call them Mr and Mrs until they say you can call them by their given names. Compliment the food. Try to be specific if you can. For example: "Mrs. Smith, how do you get your turkey to be so juicy? My Mom tries but it always comes out a little dry." Look at your girlfriend adoringly NOT sexually. Dad will want to kill you. Dad may ask questions regarding your career or future career. Try to sound like you have a plan.

Always just be yourself. Above all else be polite, ask if there is anything you can help do, offer to help with the dishes, compliment the food (if it is good). Don't be a chatter box, Give them a chance to talk to you instead. (that is really annoying when my daughters bring their boyfriends to meet me) But, ... don't just sit there and say nothing either. If they are quiet people... start a conversation with them,.. Topics: Nascar, Sports anything. I usually will break the ice by asking who their favorite team in the NFL is, and with a smile on my face tell them "it better be the Carolina Panthers" (I am a BIG fan of the Panthers). And like I said, just be yourself, .. that is who their wanting to meet anyway. Everything will be fine. Happy Thanksgiving!

Play it Kool and be yourself that is all they might ask of you. Try to be a little conservative it is just the thought of it that scares you not the doing of it so relax and enjoy they might be your life long friends in the long run so that would be great. If not they are her parents so be respectful. If it is meant to be the it will be hopefully the meeeting of the parents won't clinch that for you. Good luck Kool meeting the parents.

smile,shake their hands...DON'T START A CONVERSATION unless u and the parents had been quiet for a long time..Why,because if u start a conversation,it will annoy them because it seems like u want to show them that u are better than the ex..don't ask to many question..Don't need to tell them about your great experience or bla..bla..bla.Just relax..greet them,happy thanksgiving(although I don't know what thanxgiving is)...Bring food not present to them and say,My mum give this..it will make u look polite..Always think about subjects to talk about...Why??because,there is no doubt that your girl will say,"I will prepare drinks.."Then,you are alone with the parents..hahaha...

RELAX! Okay, breathe.....
Good, feeling better? First off, calm down. The best thing you can do is be yourself. That is who your girl fell in love with and the person her family will have to deal with.. so just be YOU!
Ask your girl if you should bring anything, she should be able to let you know what to bring and if you should.
But most importantly, please, just be yourself!

relax. dress casual and bring a bottle of wine or some flowers. don't swear and be a good listener. it's really no big deal. they're as nervous as you are.
