Just sit them down and tell them, that you have meet a guy who likes you and who like and that you've been on a few dates with and you'd like them to meet him. At this moment in time I wouldn't mention that you've been with him for 2 years and that might upset them. That would be a nice introduction

What do you mean when you say you have been together for 1 year. You have been friends for 1 year or that you have been living together for 1 year?
For starters just tell your family that you have a good friend.
Bring him to meet the family. You don't have to go in to detail about your boy friend. But the more things you can tell them the better.
If you have been living together just don't blurt that out.
Wait until you feel more comfortable to reveal that.
It's really only now that you feel that your relationship with your boyfriend is sound enough to tell your parents.
When you look at it that way it should be easier to do.

I had a habit of not mentioning i was dating to my mom too. I went through an abusive relationship, eventually leaving him, and a subsequent termination without my mom knowing. She was incredibly hurt when she eventually found out. Not sure whether subconsciously i was waiting to see if it was serious enough to mention, or whether i was trying to avoid the third degree.. However, after a year, i think the time might be right to tell them. Invite him round if you're afraid to tell them alone. But the harder you leave it, the harder it gets..

Depending on how old you are you could ask them to go out for dinner with you, and have your boyfriend there too. He would have to sit at another table. Depending on if it goes good with your parents or not. If it goes good I would call him over to join you. If it goes bad at least he was there to see their reaction regarding the whole dating situation. Good-luck! I hope love is there to stay! Yes you can throw in the other bits of advice that you were given. Alot of them sound like good ideas.

Say, "Mom, Dad, I have a boyfriend. We've been together for about a year, but I was afraid to tell you because I thought you'd get mad." Then tell them something like, "I want you to be involved in our relationship, and I'm sorry for keeping it from you for so long." You may want to cry when you're saying this, just for affect. lol kk, Happy Thanksgiving! P.S. You may not want to tell them today because it could ruin your Thanksgiving.

Try,
"Hi mum, dad, this is [INSERT NAME HERE], we have being together for a year now and I thought it would be a good time for you to meet"
Thats easy. But I think there is more to it than that, and your not asking the complete question.

Be like other good girls.Tell her you didn't tell her earlier because you're worried that it the relationship won't last this long and that you have to know more about him before introducing him to your parent.Good luck!

Just tell them that you are going to bring a friend home to meet them.

well there is never an easy way but if you ever get into a conversation about guys then tell them, say you're sorry you didn't tell them before but you weren't sure how
