"I spent Easter dying eggs with my boyfriend, Troy, and his family, which reminded me of the funny way I first met his parents two years ago. The first time I met Troy&amp;#039;s family was a week after junior prom. Troy is a year older than me and actually didn&amp;#039;t get to go to his own prom because he graduated a year early. So prom was a special night for both of us. (Read more about our night here!) A week after prom, Troy invited my friend and me to watch his band play. A few minutes after we got to the venue, a super cool woman grabbed my hand. She said, &amp;quot;Oh you must be Brooklyn, you&amp;#039;re so pretty! Thanks for taking Troy to prom, we really appreciate it.&amp;quot; It took me about two seconds to realize the woman smiling at me and holding my hand was my future boyfriend&amp;#039;s mother! To top it off, she was soon joined by a man who had a striking resemblance to Troy. I suddenly wished I wasn&amp;#039;t wearing fishnets, combat boots, short shorts and a low-cut top!  I quickly composed myself before I could stammer some embarrassing comment about how I do own a pair of clothes that are not ripped. But it turns out there was no need for me to be nervous. Troy&amp;#039;s parents stood there totally cool in their leather jackets and were so non-judgmental. They weren&amp;#039;t focused on what I was wearing, they just wanted to meet me! What I learned is that when you&amp;#039;re meeting your boyfriend&amp;#039;s parents for the first time, just be yourself! They are just trying to get to know you. It would have been weird for me to meet Troy&amp;#039;s parents wearing something that didn&amp;#039;t reflect my personal style.I proved to them I could rock and roll with the best them! When you&amp;#039;re about to meet your boyfriend&amp;#039;s parents for the first time, just remember: he already likes you; chances are, they will, too!
