I will be meeting my boyfriend's (of 2 months) mother and sister. He told me his mom will ask questions. What sort of questions should I expect and how is it best to answer. I will be honest, of course and try to keep my replies short and sweet. I am a few years older than her son, no children, divorced. he is never married, 2 kids. Any advice would be appreciated. thank-you
We were talking about this issue at coffee this AM. What worries parents the most is when the gf/bf is uncommunicative or evasive. This is a definate turnoff.
Parents love the type who is open to conservation and apparently likes to associate with them.
I pointed out that this was usually the kiss of death to relationships when I was young. We had a good laugh as everyone agreed.

I know, forgot about that, if the parents love you, the b/f starts not to! Yes, Id like to be friends with his family and , of course , want them to like me. I will not be too quiet, I really am interested in them as people as he is important to me.

You should have asked your boyfriend about what KINDS of questions that they'll be asking. Just because they are his family does NOT mean that they are entitled to personal information of yours.
I'm guessing there won't be any questions you won't be able to answer. It sounds like it won't be too different than a job interview, with the job title of girlfriend. I'd also think of some questions to ask them. That way you'll show interest in his family.
I would just be yourself, and be confident.
Try not to worry too much. After all, they are human, just like you and the rest of us. I`m sure they will love you! Good luck!
