Dear Diana,
I've been dating a great guy for four months now. I'm 19 and he is 21. He's met my family and they really like him, he can be a little shy but he feels much more comfortable now. In fact, he invited me to a festival (out of town) with him and his parents next month! I'm excited but also nervous because I am not sure what to expect. Apparently, his mom and I have some things in common.

However, I don't have any info about his dad and I really want to make a great impression since I'm his only son's first girlfriend and our relationship has a lot of potential. Any tips?

Dear Friend,
It's best to go for something like this minus the expectations. You do not know what to expect just yet, so just go with the flow. Use the common traits between his mom and you to your advantage. It's not like the two of you want to marry each other just yet. But this a very big step. So you have to understand that first impressions count. But they are not the end of the world. If you fail, his folks can grow to like you over time.

Is there such a thing as 'friend with benefits'?

Dear Diana,
Can you sleep with someone and not get attached? Do you honestly think the 'friend with benefits' thing is possible?
