I'm so nervous! I'm meeting my boyfriend's family in a few weeks and I'm a really shy person, I worry this is going to come across as me being rude. I'm usually a happy, bubby and fun person with my family and friends but I find it so hard meeting new people.

I don't think my boyfriend is really aware of this and of course I really want them to like me. Does anyone have any advice? I am friendly and polite but is that enough?

    Be yourself. There is a thirty-three percent chance that they both like you (if you give equal odds to both of them hating you or one of them hating you).

    Thirty-three percent is still potentially a higher percentage chance than this boyfriend being "the one" so don't stress about meeting his folks.

    Maybe they are feeling the same way. Each time you see them you will feel better and not as uncomfortable as they get to know you! :) Good luck and have fun! :)

    Can't be stated enough flower, be yourself, if you're shy at first and blossom as people get to know you, stay like that, people generally can tell whether someone is shy as compared to generally being rude, let your partner know in advance that you're nervous but excited about meeting his family :)

    If they can't accept you for who you are, then I guess it would be their loss at the end of the day... Just stick to one rule, be yourself, not only for yourself but for everyone else also. You wouldn't be you if you wasn't being yourself, would you?

    Hope that helps and hope all goes smoothly for you!
