babycakees Posted April 29, 2014 Posted April 29, 2014 I've been seeing this guy for about a month and half. I've met a lot of his family, aside from parents. My parents want him to come out to dinner with us soon and I'm afraid to even ask him because I'm afraid it may be too soon and might scare him off, so I need some opinions here. I don't mind having him meet my parents since I've met some of his family. Just kind of worried he's going to think I'm expecting a lot too soon. Your thoughts?
Toddbt12y1 Posted April 29, 2014 Posted April 29, 2014 Yeah, ask him. You've already met his kin, he won't think the worse of you or this, lol.
soccerrprp Posted April 29, 2014 Posted April 29, 2014 Yeah, ask him. You've already met his kin, he won't think the worse of you or this, lol. I agree. He's the one who broke the ice, so he shouldn't be freaked out. Just ask him.
Author babycakees Posted April 29, 2014 Author Posted April 29, 2014 Well, I want to ask him to come because I feel like since I met him family, he may be wondering when he will meet mine. I've never introduced a guy to my parents before we were exclusive though. I'm just hesitant.

Truth be told, just b/c he introduced you to his family members doesn't mean that he's THAT serious. It just means that he's comfortable introducing you. If it's important that the two of you be serious before introducing him to your parents, then don't do it until then. When people introduce their significant others to parents, it's a big deal to many... 2
Toddbt12y1 Posted April 29, 2014 Posted April 29, 2014 Decide if you two want to be exclusive now. Depending on that, a date with him and your parents isn't so bad. Either way, I see nothing overly wrong with this.
twinkie0 Posted April 29, 2014 Posted April 29, 2014 meeting the parents sure sends a message that you want something kinda serious. if he likes you, he'll be alrght with it. though it may be too soon. invite him, but let him know he can say no if he's not comfortable. best of luck

We are still in the beginning stages of dating. 3
guest572 Posted April 29, 2014 Posted April 29, 2014 I think you know it is too soon or you wouldn't be asking! When you are exclusive and you will probably be keen for him to meet them, you will know when the right time is.
Assasda Posted April 29, 2014 Posted April 29, 2014 It may be awkward, but you could be OK with that. You can intruduce him just as your friend if you want, You could try to figure things out quick. You could also tell him, not to worry about anything, and just have dinner, and tell your parents that he's not your boyfriend yet, and have a more platonic meal
d0nnivain Posted April 29, 2014 Posted April 29, 2014 I never arranged something just so my new BF could meet my parents. It happened when it happened. It doesn't have to be that big of a deal. When you were younger your parents probably met the guys because they came to the door to pick you up for dates. Act like it's nothing more than dinner so people can put names to faces. It doesn't have to be a "thing."
