How long?

random
edited August 2007 in General
Just wondering...

How long do you guys wait until you meet your girlfriend or boyfriend's parents? I mean, like OFFICIALLY meeting them (e.g. Get together to have a dinner, officially announce (maybe the word "announce is a little too strong) that you're his/her gf/bf.) And, do you buy anything when you FIRST meet his/her parents officially? :confused:

    If you meet her parents, then you can't dump her whenever you want. So only meet her parents if you decided on having a long term serious relationship.

    dude, thats a pretty big step to take in a relationship so make sure you dont back yourself into a corner...if you know your in it for the longrun, then go for it

    i guess it depends on the parents too though, some are more open minded than others

    It all depends on the parents, the person you're dating, and the relationship they have with each other. I don't think there is any quick solution for this one!

    I think they mean that some parents are more open to the idea of meeting their daughter's boyfriend than others. If my parents ever met my boyfriend I would have to marry him no matter what happens because they would pressure me. But one of my friends parents are so cool about it becuase her boyfriend used to come over all the time and hang out at there house but she didnt feel pressured about having to marry hiim or anything.

    The bottom line is, in most cases meeting your gf's parents will be an unpleasant experience, especially if they're Asian. In their eyes, she is still a precious little baby, and they know that you're f*cking her, and it will be awkward.

    My parents are the most open to meeting my boyfriends. And it's especially weird cuz they're asian haha. But yah, my parents loved my ex. Loved him so much. My dad would always say that he sees him as his own son and everything. The relationship between my parents and him were really sweet.. my ex was really part of my family and everything.

    I didn't have to "announce" everything. lol, my parents always know before I tell them. :)it's not as stressing.

    lol... if you're over at his/her house long enough, you're bound to run into the parents sooner or later (haha), but i don't think you meeting the parents is a problem. i think the PARENTS meeting the PARENTS is the problem (usually where conflicts kick in... dun dun dunnnnnnn...)
