Hi there,

I assumed by "him" you mean his dad, right? (so sorry if I'm wrong. Just ignore point 1-4 if "him" means the cute guy)

The first time I met my future father in law, I brought him some home made biscuits/cookies. It's easier to make than cake. If you are invited into a dinner/lunch, offer to make dessert or salad.

If his dad is like my dad in law, when you are alone with him, he'll probably ask about:

1. Your school and family (feel free to tell him subjects that you love and hate most, feel free to tell him a bit about family member, especially siblings.)

2. Your hobbies. ask him what he likes to do in his spare time too.

3. Your favourite football team. Now, even if you found out that he likes rival team, stand your ground and debate him on the outcome of the season, that'll get him to like you faster, and probably turn to support your fav team too.

4. As a last resort (avoid it if you can): Talk about world issues, but try to stay away from politic. My father in law likes to talk about global financial system and tax, but I think his dad will spare you that strange conversation.

Most important of all, just relax and enjoy the time. They just want to know you, there is no bad or good score on your first meeting with his dad, so just be as merry as you can be.

for the case that the "him" is the cute guy,

well, still kinda the same, bake cookies/biscuits or make fruit salad (it's super fast, NOT veggies salad, because I haven't known any young man who likes veggies salad) or bring him smoothie (nice for summer).

Talk about basically anything with him, get to know his personality more.

I am a conservative, so I think when you are alone with him, you can hug and kiss him if you like, but maybe not more. Besides I think it's rather a good time to know about his family and not only him, so spend time with other family members too.

have fun and good luck, I'm crossing my fingers for you.

I would advise you to be yourself. Find a topic that will get him to talk. to were all you have to do is knod and say oh oka, thats good. Haha. Do what you feel is right. Ask about his plans for the future. Favotire hobbies. I hope this helps.
