pray925 Posted June 23, 2015 Posted June 23, 2015 I'm curious when is the right time to introduce the man you're casually seeing to your friends if you've already met some of his. Reason I'm asking is because this weekend, my brother is in town and he, my friends, and I are going to go play paintball (something the guy I'm seeing has expressed interest in). I thought of extending the invite to him and his friends, but I'm a little hesitant as I feel I'd be throwing a lot of important people his way: family, my best friend, my best male friends. Moreover, I have plans to see him the night before - plans I initiated. So, I'm not sure if it's too much too soon. Thoughts?

I used to keep it to at least a minimum until the second month or so at least to meet friends, longer to meet family. The reason for this is so that the relationship can get grounded and more secure without pressure or comments or opinions of others clouding your ability to focus on the new relationship. Friends go into protection mode and start trashing a new dating partner sometimes and that influences you a little too. Or somestimes they "over like" them push you to it, etc. It's ok to have introductions and short meet ups, etc. but not spend a lot of time in the very beginning. Meeting family is another level of pressure you don't need too soon either. Stick with your night before plans and tell him you're doing something you've planned for a while. You still allowed to have your own time for things without including him.
