I met a guy, We dated for about 2 weeks, he then moved country for work. He wanted to see me again so I went to visit him.

 

I just got back from visiting him. I had an amazing time and now he is coming to visit and stay with me. He knows I still live at home and is well aware of the fact that he'll be meeting my family.

 

The thing is we haven't discussed where this is going, I have never had "The Talk" before and I am petrified. I know he likes me, hes sent pictures of us together to his family and friends. There is also a spark and we get on great.

 

I just don't know what to introduce him as to my family and friends. they all assume he is my boyfriend but I don't know if introducing him as one will freak him out but I also dont want to introduce him as my friend because we are more than that.

 

 

any advice would be appreciated?

"Family, this is [insert his name here]. [insert his name here], this is my family."

 

I don't get it. There is no "The Talk"; just talk with him as you please.

 

You're making way more of this than you should be or need to.

 

You can introduce him as a carbon-based life form, like you, or as homo sapiens, again like you. The possibilities are near endless.

The Talk isn't a prerequisite to the introduction. Just introduce him by his name, no label required.

 

 

Where is he staying when he comes to visit?
