Its easy for someone to tell you not to worry about it coz that won't help the situation at all. Just be yourself, don't try too hard but just be natural and charm the pants off them (but not literally!!). I'm very protective of my brothers and while i don't go to the extend of being rude to people they used to take home (they are both hooked up now!) i was always very cautious. You just want them to be happy and you don't want them to get hurt. If you find a way in to charm her then defo take it but don't try when there's nothing there coz that will only give her ammunition! Anyway good luck with it, just be yourself and i'm sure it'll go great. No point in worrying bout things too much that you can't control.

All you can do is be yourself, and treat her with respect like you should anyone you meet for the first time. You should always reserve judgement on someone until you meet them yourself. And then sometimes your first impression isn't even correct.

Play innocent, like you haven't been forewarned. You know, perhaps nothing will happen. If she says anything rude, you can respond with surprise, "How interesting - do you usually make such remarks to guests?" and give her parents an icy stare. Also, ask your BF to not pay any attention to rude questions, and neither should you. Note that the statement above does not answer the question. The asker really just wants attention, and you will be starving them of it. Another possible reply is, "Whyever would you need to know that?" and the same icy stare. Good luck!

Firstly, I think you should definately go ahead with your plans. One thing you definately shouldn't do is cancel out of fear. I think you should go, be yourself, be genuine, and definately, definately don't be nervous. If your boyfriends' sister is as mean and rude as your boyfriend makes her out to be, she will sense you are nervous and insecure and this could be something she could play on. If she makes rude/mean remarks towards you, I believe the best thing you should do is laugh it off, make a quick, witty response, and do not let her think you have been hurt, even if you have. If you are especially nervous, try bringing flowers, a dessert, etc as a nice gesture for your boyfriends' sister. Her first impression of you will be good if you are friendly, confident, genuine and you show her you're a good person.

Ask him about any hobbies or interests she has. If you know nothing about them, give yourself a crash course. If you and her have something you can "bond" over, she might feel more comfortable with you. I'm guessing she's very protective of him????
