just bring him over, tell him to be himself.  if u act comfortable with the situation, then he will feel more comfortable.   if he realy is sweet and all that, then they will realize that too once they get to know him.\n explain how ur parents are old fashioned, and just want to know who their daughter is hanging out wiht,  its normal.\n just be yourself, let him be himself, and i'm sure your parents will be theirselves.\n maybe if u bring another friend over that day it would make the situation a little easier on you guys.\n but u have to do it.  ur gonna have to start getting used to bringing guys home.

Your relationship seems rock solid. Don't let anyone including your parents get in the way. Your parents care about you and want the best for you. They haven't taken your relationship seriously yet. Make your parents respect your relationship by investing more time in your relationship with your fiance and less with your parents. Show them you are perfectly fine on your own. Oh, by the way, marriage is cool too. Don't be afraid.

This sounds sooooooo familiar.  My parents did not like my boyfriend for a very long time, but the longer we were together, the more they realized how much we cared for each other.  Now we are engaged and my parents are ecstatic.  Just think to yourself....................who's in love with him, me or my parents? when your in love, you shouldn't care what other people think, but since its your parents, i know its hard.  Just follow your heart!!\n\nGood luck and God bless!

ARE YOU AN ADULT... JUST BE UPFRONT WITH YOUR MOTHER, TELL HER ABOUT YOUR BOYFRIEND THEN TELL HER THAT YOU WOULD LIKE HER TO MEET HIM THAT HE IS A GOOD GUY.  HIDE HIM AND IT'S GOING TO MAKE IT LOOK AS IF YOU ARE ASHAMED OF HIM

No, absolutely not.\nIf the guy is not good enough to introduce to your parents, then he's not good enough for you.

I think you should talk to your parents and your boyfriend and remind them they both love YOU and out of respect for you, they need to act civil towards each other. Them fighting hurts you and only you.\n\nAs far as taking sides, make your own opinion about what's going on and stick to it. Maybe they'll start to see things your way.\n\nI know it can be very hard getting along with boy/girlfriend's parents, especially if one or both is convinced they are always right to the end of the earth. My boyfriend had to finally put his foot down and demand they be civil towards me. But at the same time, I also had to prove myself to them by working hard and showing I treated their son right.\n\nDon't take sides. Be your own leader and let them follow.

Sounds like the typical Romeo and Juliet story. You are 17, and if you are love this man and you and him talk about having a future together, make it known to your parents. They dont have to like him, but they really should accept him and your decision to be with him. Is he a bad boy or something? Does he get you to do bad things? You are almost 18, which means you will be considered independent and can always move out of their house. Just keep in mind that they are your parents and you should always respect them and love them no matter what happens with your boyfriend. DO NOT give up having a relationship w/your parents however for this boy if it comes to it. Trust me, you will realize that will be the biggest mistake of your life! Good luck!\n\n-EA

It means he cares enough about you that he wants you to meet his parents.  It's a compliment.  At this time in your life don't worry about this.  Just have fun and go over and meet them.  You'll have enough things to worry about and to contemplate over when you are an adult.  And yes, it means he likes you.

First off, are your parents living in the dark ages...\nGo and do what you want [Not what they want] go see your boyfriend and his family..\nTell your mom in a nice way NO I am going to visit with my boyfriend and his family and that is final. \nYou are 20, you tell them what your plans are and go for it..They have no hold on you anymore...\nSome parents just don't want to let go, but now is a good time to stand up for yourself....

Don't just invite him once. Invite him a lot. Have him come over and play cards, watch a video, anything. You will get to spend time with him. Your parents will get to see that he is a good person. And eventually you will be able to go out on dates and your parents will trust him. Answering questions would probably be really hard for the boy. He would be nervous. Plus, actions speak louder than words. When they see he is a good guy they will be more at ease.\nThey love you..............and that is a great thing. They just want you to be respected and don't ever want you to get hurt.

your bf should not have flaked out but if you were set on meeting his mother before all this go ahead and do it he should not have flaked but maybe if you are the better person then he will want to meet your dad but if he is still flaking on you maybe you should rethink the status of your relationship maybe your not as serious as you think you are.

Let them see what he does for you.  Set down physical boundaries when you're around your parents i.e., no touching except hand-holding,no kissing, groping, making out, pinching, sneaking off, etc. let them see what a gentleman he is. In turn, show them you REALLY love him, and nothing will stand in the way of that.  But since you do want their blessing R-E-S-P-E-C-T.  You respect them (even if they say quit seeing him, respect their wishes, they'll see you're sad, if it came to that.  Just remember you can't hope for them to like him. He has to be a good guy, and work at it.  It may also just take time.

First of all, figure out whether you like him or not regardless of your parents' opinions.  If you like him enough, then continue to go out with him and when the time is right, introduce him gradually to your parents by mentioning him casually then by actually introducing them to each other. Your parents need to be given an opportunity to know the guy otherwise they will just go on stereotypes. But if you don't like him really, then what's the point? Just decline if he asks you out on a date or make it clear to him that you're just hanging out with him as a friend.

Why doesn't your friend tell her parents exactly what you just told me? Any true parents would try to understand, from the heart out. If they can't see that the boyfriend is a true boyfriend, because it's been a year, then she needs to tell them. Both the boyfriend and parents should compromise on a mutual relationship.

Do not just pop over with him and get their raw reaction. That might not go so well. I would break them in slow over a few weeks - start with telling them you have a boyfriend, explain how much you care about him...no details at first. Then pepper in a few hints about him that would give hints about him, then maybe put a picture up or have pictures of you and him together. Give them time to take it all in. Then bring him over so they can find out how good a guy he is.
