As a parent of adult children all of who have introduced girl/boy friends into our family at one time or another , you might be interested to know that his parents are probably just as nervous as you are so chill out & let nature take its course ...
Let them start the conversation & just try to be as natural as you can..
Good Luck...

AWWWWW HOW SWEET!
Well firstly, RELAX! The more you freak out, the more your train of thought will begin to make you even more nervous. Whats the worst that could happen... they arent going to kill you! Just remember, its going to be a conversation between 4 people (his parents, you and your boyfriend). I'm sure you have had plenty of conversations before so relax. Just be yourself, be polite and sweet.
You can't really prepare yourself on talking alot or too little so don't waste time practising conversations because you don't know his parents personality... so maybe they will do most of the talking etc. But look, your a sweet girl! whats not to like?! What ever happens will happen and whats meant to be will be, so relax and ENJOY your first expirence on meeting the parents. It does sound scary just like a job interview, but you just need to remember its just a conversation like any other!
good luck xoxox

Aww!!! Okay just relax. If you go in there all nervous and everything, they'll know. Just be yourself and don't be extremely talkative like talking the while night haha but don't be to quiet either. Answer what they ask you, or if they ask your opinion on something. Don't answer with those one-word answers, say why and they'll admire you :)
They're probably very friendly people and I'm sure you'll make a great impression!

chill out lol, its your boyfriend, not husband haha, its not like your going to meet your future in laws, and stop coughing for petes sake *slaps on the back*
its best to make conversation and stay quiet at the same time, ooo and stay away from politics lol, i remember i went over to my ex gfs house for the first time when i was 14, of course her dad thought i was just a friend, but the first night we got into a debate about israel and palestine lol, i was like i cant blame israel for everything and he was all like DEATH TO ISRAEL!!! he reached into his pocket and i thought he was about to take a rock out and throw it at my head, so i ducked for cover, and turned out he just grabbed his lighter and lit a cigarrette, and then told me im just a 14 year old kid and that i dont know jack sh*t, then he asked me if i wanted tea and dates......
