Actually, your boyfriend should introduce you to his mother. If he isn’t going to be there then a simple “Hi Mrs Blank, I’m Jette, your son’s new squeeze.” Ok, leave out the squeeze part and say “girlfriend”.

Give her a lap dance.

Just say “Hi, I’m Jette” and then she’ll say something like “Hello Jette I’m _____” and you can follow with “How are you?”. You don’t have to mention girlfriend at all really, isn’t it just kind of implied?

How about “Hello, I’m jette, your son’s new girlfriend. You won’t be seeing him as much as you used to because I’m going to be occupying almost all of his time from now on. I’ll have him check in from time to time but remember, he’s my boy toy now and that takes precedence over everything else in my eyes. It was nice meeting you.” :o)

@Blue, Ha!

@jette, I imagine you’re nervous about meeting her, and want her to like you. (And hopefully she won’t make your life hard!)

It sounds like you’re asking for advice about how to approach it. My advice is to come from an assumption that you’re going to like her, and she’s going to like you.

You didn’t say how strongly you feel about your boyfriend, but if you’re serious, you could even approach meeting her as if you’re in it for the long-haul. You may be.

I’m single, but I’ve watched my brother’s wife seamlessly integrate into our family. She has a great relationship with my parents, her in-laws, and I absolutely love having her as a sister-in-law.

Bottom line: Create a relationship. Find things to appreciate her – don’t worry about her liking you.

Awkwardly. Sorry, but it is most likely true. But don’t worry—she’ll know you are nervous, but so is she! Be yourself and let her see who you are. And if you are going to her house, a hostess gift wouldn’t be amiss—flowers or a bottle of wine.
