We meet up halfway most weekends and spend a Friday and Saturday night together and most of the day on Sunday. We go home on Sunday evening around 6pm. We are both happy with this arrangement because we miss one another through the week and it gives us a lot to look forward to, also it keeps the spark alive in our relationship. I am deeply in love with him and I know he feels the same so after the festive period has died down, we are making steps into getting a place together.He has been down to my place twice and has met my family. My parents think he's wonderful which I am thrilled about, however, I have yet to meet his family. We have discussed plans for the festive period and he has asked me to stay at his. I was delighted that he asked me, but I am really anxious and nervous about meeting his family.His parents are very well off, and while mine are quite well off too, they are very relaxed and down to earth. Although he has assured me that his parents are lovely, I'm still worried about meeting them.I only met my first ever boyfriends parents, and that was when I was 20 (I'm 26 now) so that was some time ago. Do you have any advice on how I can overcome my nerves upon meeting his family? I really would love to meet them if I can get over my anxieties! Thank you for reading x

 Dear Anonymous,
It is completely normal to be anxious about meeting your boyfriend's family, especially when you are looking for acceptance from them. Just be yourself, and I'm sure they will like you!
You can also assure yourself that they probably are looking forward to meeting you, since they've been hearing good things from your boyfriend.
Good luck!
