dear cupid

I have been going out with this guy for about a year. I have lived with him for 6 months. I have never meet his parents as they live in France (we live in the UK) My boyfriend's grandmother died (his mum's mum) and we are going to her funeral tommorrow. I will be meeting his parents there for the first time.

I was nervous before but now I just don't know what to say when I meet them in such an awkward situation.

What should I do???

I was dredding that first time i met his parents but on his birthday i finally got to talk to them for the first time in 8 months its so hard and i can see where your coming from cause it is so hard to speak 2 them but to make it even better if you have time is to go out with them like the cinema or a resturant its better to get it done with than dragging it on for years. youll be full of confidance and up for a meeting again. Hope all things go well. Christina

Obviously his mother is going to be upset so don't take offense to her if she doesn't seem particularly intrested in you. She will most likely depend on her family and friends so don't go there expecting her attention. Stay close to your boyfriend as he should expect you to and when you meet her say something like "it's a pleasure to finally meet you" Im sorry that it had to be under these circumstances" Im very sorry for your loss, let me know if there is any thing I can do for you". don't forget the kleenex, if she needs one you'll have one to offer.
