So I met my boyfriends parents for the first time last week. We’ve been dating for almost a yr now and they didn’t like me at first (even though they’d never met me) just because I’m older than him. So they didn’t approve of the relationship.
Well when finally I met them last week first off I was super nervous bc I was scared they still didn’t like me. Well when I finally met them they seemed super nice which put me at ease. They were talking to me some at first but it was just like small talk I guess you would say.
But as the night went on they were talking about stuff that I didn’t have a clue about so I couldn’t really join in on the conversation. Which I’m not going to lie that was fine with me bc I was so nervous I didn’t really want to talk anyways. But now that I think about it if they were doing that and not really talking to me bc I also noticed that they never really asked me anything about myself either.
My boyfriend told me that his mom was really friendly to me and that’s usually not like her. Which I could tell she was trying to be really nice to me. But he also said that he thought they should have been more courteous and not been talking about stuff with just him where I couldn’t really join in on the conversation.
Would you say that maybe they did that and didn’t ask me anything about myself because they still don’t like me and they were just trying to be nice or am I just overthinking the whole thing?
He also told me after I met them that his mom said I seemed really nice and really polite and she also said I seemed shy which i can be when I’m so nervous like that. Then she wanted to know what I thought of her/them. How does all of this sound to anybody else? I’m not good at reading situations for myself.

Hmmm I wouldn't necessarily automatically assume that it's a bad sign. I mean yeah maybbbe they could've asked questions that involved you. But you got to think about their point of view. Maybe they weren't even considering it to be "unkind" maybe they were just asking questions that so happened to not be about you. I wouldn't go and say they did it on purpose. Could've just been how the night went. I dont know I'd say just don't read too much into it and take every encounter at face value with them until some red flags start going off. I think you're fine for now
Well it was just they didn’t ask me anything about myself like about my job or anything. Then towards the end of the night I feel like most of the conversations were stuff that only them and my boyfriend knew about. Like I either didn’t know the people or wasn’t around for the situation like I couldn’t join in and it didn’t feel like they included me much. I don't know maybe I’m just overthinking it if you say not to read too much into then I won’t. I just couldn’t tell if they liked me or not.
