You already cleared the largest, first, and most important hurdle agreeing to meet them. All the others you can run around so long as you don't say anything that screams I'm a douchebag!!!

I'm so old I was born before music but these rules still apply. When I met my son's gf's parents I talked about what a great company her father worked for was and spent most of the time making him feel better about himself, what a great kid he had raised and what a kind person she was. By the end of the night he was talking about helping my son pay for his college.
