Icon17 Meeting the parents

So i've been looking through forums on google and i think this one is the best i've found yet. I really need help. It looks long but it's actually short.

My girlfr- ehem- girl that is a friend that i am deeply inlove with wants me to meet her parents before she can be my girlfriend. We've been datin- ehem- bondin- ugh- hanging out and expressing our feelings to each other for a little over 2 months now.

So here's the problem, what do i wear? how should i act? I don't do drugs, don't smoke, and drink any form of alchohol. I am straight edge all the way. Her dad has a texan accent and i think he's from texas because besides the accent, he wears a bolo tie, if that's what you call it, to walmart. I don't wanna look too formal. I wanna look casual with a side of respect and a sprinkle of some formality.

Please help me guys! I have a little more than a week left before D-day
And yes, we're only teens. We just wanna be girlfriend boyfriend. She said it herself, we're inlove with each other right now but it wont last. It's just that teen lust for love, ya'll feel me? still need permission tho

thanks in advance

Just be yourself. Be polite and smile and all that.
I'm sure they'll like you.

Be polite. If you're staying for dinner, offer to help clear the table/do the dishes. For clothes, just wear a nice shirt and pants/jeans of some sort.

Most importantly, like Charlotte said, just be yourself. They want to meet you, not what they want you to believe.

Good luck!

Second what everyone else says, be who you are, not who you think they want you to be

Enter their house in the nude. Always makes for a good laugh

Seriously though, you seem to be a decent guy from what I can tell by your description of yourself. I don't think you'd really need to "do anything" besides being yourself like everyone's said. And remember: Please, Thank you, sir, maam and smile
