I don't know, but don't assume it means he's not serious about you. Four months is not a long time. If you had been dating 8 or 10 months or a year, then yeah, we'd have something to talk about, but in the grand scheme of things, four months isn't that long.
Guys aren't usually in a hurry to take you home to meet their folks. I don't think we put as much importance on it as women do, so we either forget or aren't in a hurry. Chances are, your guy just hasn't even thought to do it.
There could be other reasons, too. Maybe his parents aren't nice to women he brings home, and he doesn't want to subject you to that. Or maybe he's ashamed of them for some reason. Do they live close by? Maybe it's just inconvenient. Or perhaps he doesn't feel like he knows you well enough yet. I knew a guy who didn't like taking girls to meet his parents because his mom would always mention other girls he had brought home in the past, and he hated that. "Whatever happened to that pretty blonde you brought to meet us, you know, the one who dressed like a hooker?"
There could be any number of reasons, and only one of them is that he's not as serious about you as you are about him, so don't immediately go to that.
Why not just ask him? That's what I would do--not in a confrontational way, but an "Oh, by the way" kind of approach.
Thanks for the question.
Doesn't matter if they live down the street, 6 months at the earliest to meet the parents.
Sounds about right.
my boyfriend introduced me to his parents, sister and practically whole family within the 1st week - the parents was the 2nd time we went out :)
of course at that time we were only friends.... :)

I'd be a lot more concerned if he wanted you to meet the parents after a few dates versus a few months. I dated a guy in college who after 3 dates invited me to his parents' for Sunday dinner. His mom whipped out Bride magazines and his baby pictures before we had even finished the salad. RUN!!!
definitely had a boyfriend whose mom invited me for Thanksgiving dinner with his whole family(including siblings, aunts, uncles cousins, all their spouses and kids) after we had gone on 1 date...oh lordie
4.5 Months is not long enough to start questioning his motives !!
relax, enjoy your relation and you'll meet them in the right time .. Good Luck :)
My boyfriend never introduce me yet..and thanx God..We've been together for 15 months, pretty serious..
I don't want to meet his parents, cause I'm afraid they will judge me. Which my mother always do that to my brothers gurls.
By the way I'm almost 15 years older than him.
So, I don't think we are meant for each other. and whats the point of knowing his parents..as long as we are happy...that all that matters..

There is only you who knows how serious you both are about each other. If you feel that its about time to meet everyone and e drags his heels then alarm bells should be ringing. If e loves you and knows your the one he should want to introduce you to everyone he knows because he 's happy and proud of you and wants to tell the world ! You know within weeks whether someone is right for you whether man or woman so if meeting no one after a month hasn't happened you should start to question why. Either they have something to hide or they don't intend sticking around there could be no other explanation really...e either loves you or e don't there's no buts. I've dated two guys who after 4 months I still hadn't been introduced to any of their family or friends. I ditched them both because if they can't make that commitment to You to at least introduce you into their life then they don't deserve my time and You never cut yourself short...you deserve to be shown off to the world and if they really love you and want to be with you they will want to do just that.
i ve dated my guy 4 abt two to three yrs now and he has nt introduce me to his family
We're on a relationship for almost 4 years and he hasn't bring me to his place or introduce me to his parents. We just met her mom when we were at the mall and he introduced me to her. Everything went fine that time. I haven't met his dad. I was also in a relationship before wherein my ex was so excited to introduce me to his mom, so he did.
My mom is asking why my bf hasn't introduced me to his parents and she is asking if i still have plans of getting married because I'm on my early 30's and my bf is 5 years older than me. We really have a plan of getting married, we were just preparing for our future (money-wise).
Now, my mom is thinking maybe my bf is not serious with me, maybe he is just playing with me etc. That's not what I feel because we really have a plan. I always explain that to my mom however I think she's really close-minded now. Now, everytime I ask my bf about this issue, he would always say that we're the one's who's getting married in the future, I will not marry his parents and it is the couples relationship that is important for him. Another reason he is saying is that they're not that rich (well, my family too, we're just an average family), their house is just small and not that presentable. He's thinking I might criticize his family, their house etc. For him, meeting his parents is really not a big deal or issue for him. His reason also is what's important for him is how I go along with him as his gf / future wife. He just wants me to respect his decision. I also don't want to argue with him about this but it is also bothering me. Ofcourse, I'm the girl and it's important for me to meet his parents.Am I being selfish in this scenario? Any advice?
