I'm nervous to meet my boyfriends friends?

[Anonymous]

My boyfriend is from Florida, which what he explains to me is completely different from Canada (where I am from). and I'm nervous to meet his friends. They talk really different from me, and I feel like I might come off as too serious or unfun. I've already talked to his friends through the phone (with him) and it was extremely awkward, and i felt bad afterwards. I dont know how to explain how they talk, but I think its more pop-culture like language? if that makes sense. and I'm not used to it or know how to react or respond to it. But I go up there in a week and ill be meeting them all and im just very nervous. any advice around this subject or how i can make myself not seem uptight but at the same time not look like an idiot trying to fit in with them?

Don't be nervous about his friends.-. If you try too hard to "fit in" it's kind of obvious. + Seeing regional/local/etc. quirks is always fun, it makes people interesting.

If something is interesting to you, point it out, get an explanation or their view on it, like landmarks and stuff. They might ask you questions about where you live (Canadian Bacon and the Mounted Police are the only things I can think of myself). Your boyfriend should keep them in line. If they started flirting with you, you'd better hope your boyfriend gives them the "Hey back up man" or the *DEATH STARE*. Like I said, situational, no idea how long you've been dating.

To sum it up: Fine to be nervous, you're going to someplace you haven't been before, just look at interesting things and stuff, you're going to where your boyfriend lives, enjoy it.

unless they are going to gang bang u why would u be nervous? ur bf SHOULD make sure they dont get out of hand and if u get nervous or worried just let him know and he should be able to correct the issue. think ur looking into this way to much. just try to enjoy urself and be happy to be placed further into ur bfs life.
