When is it time to introduce your partner to your parents?
Cupid’s Advice:
Not only is finding a significant other difficult, but introducing him or her to your parents is also a feat. Â If you aren’t sure when it’s best to have your partner meet your parents, Cupid has some suggestions:
1. Serious relationship: Before introducing your partner to your parents, make sure you’re in a serious relationship. Â There’s no use in going through the introduction stress if the relationship isn’t going anywhere.
2. When they ask: If you parents specifically ask to meet your current partner and ask you both to dinner, don’t refuse. Â If you say “no,” they’ll start to get suspicious and things will only be worse when you do decide to have them meet.
3. Parent’s reaction: Figure out how your parents would react. Some parents are more accepting than others, so make sure to gage their reaction before you subject your partner to their scrutiny.
