3. He seems eager: A definitely noticeable sign that your guy is ready to meet your family is if you suggest the meet and greet and he seems excited, or ready to seize the opportunity. Nothing’s worse than a guy who gives a nervous look at the suggestion to meet your blood relatives, so make sure he seems happy about the opportunity!
