Meeting the ex-boyfriends parents suggestions?

[Krystal]

I am 28 he is 33. We are both currently in college as adults and were part of a same study group. We entered into a relationship back in March and was absolutely amazing for about 2 months until it came to an abrupt end (which he broke off). In the end he was adament about wanting to be friends after a little time went by we have become very good friends. I will admit...it has turned into a friends with benefits situation in that we are not exclusively with each other (even though neither one of us is seeing anyone else right now). We do things together often but it is nice that there is not the pressure of a formal relationship. This morning over the phone he tells me that he is having dinner at his parents house tonight and that he told his mother that he might be bringing me along and then asks me if I would like to go. I was silent for a moment and then he broke it by adding the disclaimer of essentially that we are just friends and that it doesn't mean anything relationshipwise- but that eventually I would meet his parents anyway because I am an important person in his life and that he values me very much as a friend and will probably always be in his life. I know we both have feelings for each other but I can't help but worry that a little that maybe this is too much. I am a little worried that the words coming out of his mouth are different then what he really feels in that he has more feelings then what he is letting on. I do have strong feelings for him but after how our relationship ended, I do not know if a committed relationship even in the future is possible (I may be just reading too much between the lines and getting mixed signals). Our relationship now is better than what we had when we were really together.

I could go to the dinner and be a perfect lady but my gut is giving me mixed feelings about whether this is good for either one of us. Could it be just a casual, fun, meaningless occasion??
