i've been going out with a girl for three weeks and have seen her about 4-5 times. she invited me over to meet her parents already. is this ridiculously too soon?

This seems very quick, but I guess it all depends on the person. Is she really close with her family? Because I could see introducing someone to friends after three weeks; so if I considered my family to be part of my close friends then it would make sense.

 

She could also be hoping to get some advice / impressions from her family about you before things get too serious.

Depends on the culture.

 

In most cases, this would be too soon. But in others, this would be pretty much standard.

I've been going out with a guy for 1 month already, met 14? times...he wants to meet my family already. I personally have no problem with it, but I would think that 1 month is too soon. You've only seen her for 4-5 times in 3 weeks, I think it's too soon too. And I'm a family person too. It's not like my family doesn't know that I'm seeing a guy, it's just that even "they" think it's too soon. Not to mention they don't like him just by what I tell them about him.

 

Meeting the family is like moving towards the "serious" level, that's what I think.

 

The question is, Are you ready to meet her parents? and are you ready to move one level up? If you think you guys click...then moving a little fast would be ok. I personally like to take things slow cuz I've made mistakes in the past by moving too fast.

there is not a right or wrong to this one. except that you clearly feel uncomfortable about it else you would not have posted.

I think it would be good to say so.

I once dated a guy who wanted to meet my family within 2 weeks. Way too keen. In that instance keenness equalled desperate. S you are right to be wary
