Meetin the parents

I've been going out with a girl at uni for almost 2 months now and she wants to take me home with her one weekend. Thing is im not sure of when is too soon, if there is a too soon, to meet her parents. Any thoughts?

What's the issue - do you think she's going to start planning a wedding? She probably wants to show you off to her parents - and I think thats a pretty big affirmation she likes you a lot.

Actually Im hardly an expert.
I find the funniest thing to do is pretend that you're really shy and timid. Keep it going for as long as you can bare it.
And then go down and be fairly loud and cheeky (offer to help around the house!).
Heh.

That's probably why they thought I was a dirty druggie before I even knew how to spell canabis [sic].

Why do I bother with posts like these?

I think you should flirt with her Dad while she isn't in the room.... Okay maybe not.

I don't know... I think you should go if you think you'll be together for a good while. It seems pointless to meet some random people you'll never have to see again. That is my logic :biggrin:

Haha most people's parent's think i'm a dirty druggie anyway, and i still can't spell canabis or even LDS...... you have a fair point though, why bother with the posts? Surely the only advice anyone can give is to just do it, which is probably what he was going to do anyway.........

I like you.
You only have five posts so this might mean nothing to you, but soon you are going to get repped (not to be confused with rape - it's far less exciting).

Edit: This post is so gonna get moderated.

Thank you :biggrin:

Five posts in a morning. And being repped sounds fun, but not raped. I sense a mod too... *shifty eyes*

No. It's a laugh. Do it.

It is, especially if they are Spanish and don't speak any English...and if you don't speak any Spanish.

What a week that was :rolleyes:

You might as well go. if you gf likes you a lot, and its obvious that she does, then if your just yourself, her parents will like you as well and you can get all of the awkward formalities out of the way sooner rather than later.

It is something that i have done anyway and its always a good laugh. plus, you win loads of brownie points with your gf if you go :wink:

If it feels too soon for you, then obviously don't push it. But why does it make you nervous? I love having a relationship with my boyfriend's family, it's like being adopted :smile:

My parents met my boyfriend after we'd been together just over a month, wasn't really planned, he was just around when they visited, so it kinda made sense. Anyway, they now love him more than me, I think.
