Make friends with her pet. Pets are like children, and women are attracted to men they perceive as "good father material." I once dated a girl who owned a very shy beagle. On my second visit, I hid a doggie treat in my pocket, and fed it to the pooch when nobody was looking. Later in the evening, the pup approached me and licked my hand (which probably still had a hint of doggy treat scent on it), and she went wild. Instant score.
Make friends with her father. The doggie treat trick works here too, you just have to modify it a little bit. Before you meet him, covertly ask your girl a little bit about her father... what he likes, what he does for a living, whatever. After you meet him, when you're idly chatting, drop a hint about a golfing trip you took recently, a fish you caught, a car you worked on, or whatever else you do that matches his interest. You'll establish a bond with him right away, and you'll always have a topic to make small talk about while you're waiting for her to powder her nose. Even if you don't share a common interest, make one up. My father in law and I talk about beer, even though I haven't stepped into a frat house in years and I hardly drink anymore. Doesn't matter. Gives him something to ask me about.
