Default When to introduce my girl friend to my family

I have been seeing someone now for about a month or so and things are going great. While I know it would be absolutely INSANE to introduce her to the family now. I was just curious as to when that might be appropriate ? 3 months, 6 months ? What ? I only ask because the Hollidays are coming up and enevitably the family will think that would be the appropriate time to meet. After a month of dating. I don't agree. But as I stated previously, what Is the acceptable "wait time"?

It depends on when you feel ready to do that. Some introduce the gfs on the very first date others after a few years. It all depends on when you feel ready. There isn't a set time.

Soft petal makes some good points. It depends on what the relationship with the girl is how she feels about meeting your family and how your family will react. OF all the women I've dated over the last 14 years, some have met the family within a month, others a few months some never...

Why don't you ask your girlfriend about how she feels about it.

I never could understood what the big deal about this was. About a year and a half ago, I was hanging around a guy who liked me but after a couple of dates I told him that I only wanted to be friends. He never got the idea. Ine day while running errands with him, I stopped by my parent's house and rather than leave him waiting in the car, told him to come inside. He ended up telling his friend all about how I had him meet his parents like it was a big deal. It wasn't a big deal to me. I don't get the significance.

I don't know what the big deal is either. Because a person you're dating happens to meet a family member it doesn't necessarily follow that you'll be entering wedded bliss anytime soon.

there is not wait time if you like her and want her to be part of your life in one way or another jsut go for it not to sound lethal but don't be so uptight and take it so seriously if she's a nice gal go for it and just get out there and introduce away unless she's feeling uncomfortable dash right in. MIND you then again, Im not sure where you're comeing from 100%-or if your family will freak that you have a girl or if there is an ethnic situation or anythign like that. Just my two cents but don't wait to long-a woman likes a man with balls and gumption.

It all depends upon where your relationship's at. If you read my post called "somebody help me" about dating. I too have been dating someone for about a month and neither of us have met any family. But I get the impression he wants to take things slowly, as should I. So if you guys are taking it slow, then maybe you should wait and get together for super bowl Sunday or for the next holiday.

Depends on the relationship. And size of family no need to shock them by displaying all family members at once if your immediate family exceeds four people.

Well, ok

Just recall one time when my best friend, who has a 6 person family, brought her guy home for the first time and EVERYONE was sitting on the porch. To say the least, he had quite the shock.

I don't know, I think it is easier to introduce someone to my family all at once, for example at a family get together. I think there is less attention on the guest as the family is gathered to see each other, not Emma's new guy. It's also easier on the guy because he won't have to answer the same questions over and over.

As time goes on though, it's getting easier to introduce people to my family. At first, they were convinced every guy was Mr. Right but now they are like, oh another boy, we don't need to remember his name as he will only be around for a month or so.
