I don't have much to offer, but from experience I say the best thing to do is once you're introduced, talk about what you both hope to take from this. I usually find the best way to put across your needs is as calmly as possible, that way people don't dismiss you as speaking from emotion alone, and saying things in the heat of the moment.
They will probably be as unsure as you to start off with, don't be scared of mentioning things and perhaps discussing what you both think should be some ground rules, after all there's nothing to loose.
Good luck btw, sorry I couldn't say anything more usefull
