Lauren Conrad and Kyle Howard at Malibu Beach (4/4)

Things are getting serious between Lauren Conrad and her oh god who fucking cares. From Star magazine:

"Kyle's telling people he wants to marry Lauren," says a source. "So he was determined to go all out to impress her mom and dad."

He got his chance in early March, when Kyle, 30, and the 23-year-old star of The Hills met Lauren's mom, Katherine, and dad, Jim, for lunch at Mosaic Bar & Grille in Laguna Beach, Calif.

"Kyle looked nervous, but Lauren was so upbeat," says an eyewitness.

The foursome, who dined on nachos and salads, "got along really well," adds the eyewitness. "And Kyle picked up the tab."

Of course Kyle picked up the tab. With the underwhelming success of Lauren's clothing line, he was the only one at the table with any money. Here's a little tip for all of you guys out there looking to impress your future in-laws: When trying to come across as a "provider," don't treat them to a big steaming plate of nachos. Take them somewhere a little fancier -- where the hot wings are entrees and bibs are used in lieu of napkins. Also, no jokes about how their daughter could probably suck-start a Harley. Been burned a few times on that one.
