Hello, I'll be meeting my girlfriends mum over the holidays. I want to be myself but I'm worried she wont like me or something awkward or embarrassing will happen. Unsure how to speak to her and what to do
Meeting parents

Everybody is a bit nervous when they're going to meet their SO's parent(s) for the first time, but for the love of everything, be yourself. Smile, be polite, but don't kiss her ass.Keyboard not found. Press F1 for help.

yes, don't kiss her bottom, that would probably be the wrong thing to do.

Just be yourself. Your gf loves you for who you are so I'm sure her parents would to helping out with things over holidays could also be good, show you can be useful and do stuff, and also good way to talk while doing something, or just having a fun time

Just met my bf's parents recently. His dad was easy because his dad dropped him off at my house and my dad already knew him. Harder for me to meet his mom, it was at his house and I'm not confident meeting people the first time. But as others said, I was polite and sort of quiet at first. Now I'm pretty comfortable going there

You have to be yourself. That is what you S/O likes about you so don't change that up for the parents.

Meeting my boyfriends parents was not a big deal at all. Since my boyfriend is the older brother of my best friend I have knew his parents for a very long time. My boyfriend is 4 years old then me and when we started dating I was only 14 and he had recently turned 18. Prior to that I had been his younger sisters best friend for many years , but he never really paid attention to me until I kind of matured a little. We have now been together for 3 years and 5 months. So already knowing his parents very well made things really easy. It was introducing him to my mom and getting the whole he is 18 when we started dating thing for my mom to grasp onto at first way more difficult.
Here is my advice to you when meeting the parents for the first time though. First off be polite thanking them for having you over to their home is always a good thing. Hell I still do that when ever I go over to my best friends/ my boyfriends house. Yes, I do just sometimes go over to the house to hangout with my best friend and my boyfriend does his own thing and other times it is my boyfriends time as well, but letting his parents know that they welcomed you into their home is a good thing, especially if it is for dinner. Just be yourself and relax to. For me that really wasn't an issue because his parents already knew me like the back of their hands, but they want to see that you are not scared of them. -

I met my boyfriend's parents when we both came out last year, and they were pretty cool with us being a couple, and they and my parents sort of made some rules we had to agree to, and its mostly worked
