Eternal Sunshine Posted April 3, 2011 Posted April 3, 2011 Just curious. Been with my bf for a month and he has met my brother and I have met his. We have also met each other's friends. When is the right time to meet mum and dad? At what point did you meet them in your R?
Hules Posted April 3, 2011 Posted April 3, 2011 I've only ever introduced one girl to my family (my last ex) as far as they are aware she is the only girlfriend I've ever had (lol @ that). I did it after 2 months because I was really into her .
SummersEve Posted April 3, 2011 Posted April 3, 2011 Meeting the family and friends does not necessarily mean a thing to guys. I would tell women to be careful about assuming it is a milestone symbol that means he's really into you. I'm not a guy so that's just my opinion.
kiss_andmakeup Posted April 3, 2011 Posted April 3, 2011 My boyfriend met my parents around the 2 month mark...I didn't meet his until maybe 5 months in. This could also partially be because I was living with my parents at the time so his meeting them was kind of inevitable. He wasn't living with his parents.
Lilmisus Posted April 3, 2011 Posted April 3, 2011 Well, I met his sister, niece, father and most of his cousins within the first like two weeks of seeing each other, which was a month and a half before we became official. I didn't meet his mother until about three-four months into dating, since she lived away from him for the first couple of months. But he met my parents about 2 months into seeing one another, and the entire extended family just about, on the day we became official (it was at my brother's wedding).
sweetjasmine Posted April 3, 2011 Posted April 3, 2011 I met most of his family about 3-4 months in. He didn't meet mine until well over a year. Distance and traveling issues, for the most part.
yah Posted April 3, 2011 Posted April 3, 2011 We've been together 1.5yrs+ and I've met his siblings and their families. We hang out fairly regularly. I'll meet his parents in the next 1-2 months (his request). He has yet to meet my family because I think it is a big deal so they'll meet when an engagement in nearer (my request). My family is also far away.
xpaperxcutx Posted April 3, 2011 Posted April 3, 2011 I'd met my ex's parents the first time I met him. I met my gf's parents 3 months into our relationship when they came over to her apartment for a visit. I don't think you need to delegate family correspondance to a specific time but usually the 3-4 month mark are usually the dealbreakers and tell you whether your SO wants his/her family to know you.
tigressA Posted April 4, 2011 Posted April 4, 2011 Since I started dating, only 2 of my boyfriends have met my parents, and both times it was at least a few months in because of distance/travel issues. I had met all my boyfriends' parents/siblings and in some cases extended family pretty early on, like within the first month or two. In my current relationship, I am not putting a deadline on when to meet parents because there are substantial distance/travel issues on both sides. My dad, mom and brother all live in different cities nearly all the way across the state, and my BF's parents and siblings are in India. I doubt there will be any face-to-face meeting on either side until we're engaged or something.
BeginAgain Posted April 4, 2011 Posted April 4, 2011 If you are a guy pursuing a girl then the appropriate answer is never. No good can ever come from it.
Confusedalways Posted April 4, 2011 Posted April 4, 2011 Within a month of dating, but I was/am really into him
