AlwaysLost Posted March 20, 2008 Posted March 20, 2008 My BF and I have been dating jsut shy of 3 months. We havent really met anyone from each others lives but my parents are coming to town this weekend and wanted to take us to have a drink on the water. I dont know if I should ask him or if its too soon. Also, this weekend he is having easter dinner with his dad and step mom and didnt invite me so that makes me think he thinks its too soon to meet the folks. What do you think I should do?
curiousnycgirl Posted March 20, 2008 Posted March 20, 2008 Well the standard rules don't always apply when someone lives out of town. How far are your parents? How often do they come to town? If all things were equal I have always waited a loooong time to introduce guys to my parents - like over a year (but I don't especially get along with my folks). Having said that my current b/f met my parents after 3 months, simply because my mother invited him, and although I had said no, I told the b/f about it - and he said he wanted to come. Little did he know that would obligate him for every family function going forward!
Author AlwaysLost Posted March 20, 2008 Author Posted March 20, 2008 thanks curiousgirl, i get along with my folks very well and know they would be on their best behavior but i dont want to have him think this means we are moving to a more serious level, its just meeting my parents but most wont see it that way. i also think well maybe i should give him the option but say if you dont want to then its totally ok too. my parents live 3 hrs away and may come back in 4-6 months.
curiousnycgirl Posted March 20, 2008 Posted March 20, 2008 Given that distance and how infrequently they come to town - I think a drink is definitely appropriate. Just tell your b/f that your parents will be in town and have invited both of you for a drink. Tell he is not obligated and no pressure, but you thought it might be nice. Let him decide if he's going to freak or not. Sometimes they surprise you (mine certainly did!)
