How do I make a good impression for his family?

Today,at work my guy friend had asked if,I would like to go to his place to meet his family.Im real excited about it.Im kind of nervous and want to make a good impression.Do I dress up to meet his family or do I just wear my regular clothes? I was thinking of taking a camera with me.Is a camera ok for that?

I heard he has a sister that speaks English so Im kind of excited about meeting her and the rest of his family.

Ask him about how you should dress. If you are going for, say, a casual weeknight supper and over dress you may make them feel uncomfortable. The best way to make a good impression is to just be yourself. They will either like you or they won't, but in any event, that shouldn't be too big a concern to you.

What about a cute skirt? Those seem to be the in-style thing.

I went to his familys apartment last night.His family is real nice.

The only thing is he got carried away and had sex with me.I told him I had to go to the bathroom and would be right back. I tried pulling away cause I was afraid I was going to get pregnant.I told him to get a condom .I dont think he understood me cause hes Spanish.I kept telling him I really had to pee and after awhile he went and showed me where the bathroom was.

I didnt realize he was that much in love with me.

Im worried that I could be pregnant though.I dont remember when my last period was.Im really scared.I already told 1 member of the family so far about it and she told me not to worry to much about it.I just am scared though.

Patty! He's not 'in love' with you!!!!! Men will have sex just to have sex - they *very* often don't care if you want to or not. Patty, if you didn't want to and he did it anyway, that's rape!!!!!

Please, please tell someone. He took advantage of you. This should never have happened!

She doesn't say she didn't want it. She says she was going to come back and was worried just about being pregnant. I find it bad though that you had unprotected sex. It tells me two things: he is immature and he doesn't care about you. Wish you the best.

Comeon Merry! Recant this. MEN DON'T. Boys and players, perhaps.

I would prefer to believe that was said merely out of concern for Patty. As far as what happened to her, yes, she was IMHO taken advantage of.
