Alright, everyone here seems to need relationship advice (most likely because we are all dysfunctional goobs), and I think it is time that we finally have an OFFICIAL relationship thread.
So, all relationship questions and/or concerns should be posted in this thread from now on!!
I will start with a question.
How long do you think you should be seeing someone before you introduce them to your parents? |

I just got off of work... and I was bored, thus, the birth of this thread :D
EDIT: And you didn't answer my question. So answers or STFU. |

Because I said so.
take5, why do you say 3-4 weeks?
I am thinking in the perspective of someone who no longer lives at home, so in order for the person you are seeing to meet the parents, you need to arrange a dinner or something of the sort.
This in my mind is a big deal, and don't typically think it's a good idea for at least a few months.
Any other thoughts? |

I think a month minimum.
The whole "meet the parents" thing is way overrated though. Too much pressure and importance placed on that first meeting.
A relationship counsellor on TV here the other week believed that the first meeting should really be quick and casual, like "hey dad, this is my boyfriend Carl Cox" on the way out or something. It doesn't need to be a basket case experience where everything goes wrong because the partner is feeling too much anxiety.
She also mentioned that as first impressions do last it's important to appear proper and slowly show the parents who you really are over time. The whole "they better like me for who I am" approach may not always be the best. |

my advice would be to go to those closest to you, the ones that know you and the significant other and have some experience with your life, before EVER listening to what a bunch of moronic, drug-fvcked angsty teens have to say on a music website*.
*obvious exception being this post of course. |

Simple - it all depends, on how comfortable you are with them. It you have confidence in them, and the relationship, then introduce them to your friends and family.
PS - there is no set time, on when to do this - not a matter of days, weeks, months, or years. It's all matters, upon the progress of your relationship. |
