I'm not sure how normal this is... My husband met my parents when he and I had been dating a month, but I didn't meet his mother and 3 of his siblings until he and I had been together almost 2 years, (still haven't met his Dad and 1 of his other siblings!!!) the DAY we got married, of course, his family lives in Hawaii... We've been together for almost 4 years! LOL

It is completely normal, some people just don't know how each party will react to one another and so put it off until they feel sure.
I met my ex-long-term partner's parents over a year after going out with him, it's just the way it happened.
I would be inclined to say that unless he keeps you from meeting all the people in his life (friends, colleagues, etc.) you have nothing at all to worry about.

I don't think it is strange that he has not introduced you to his parents yet. Seven months is still kinda early in a relationship. There could be reasons why he hasn't intro you to his mom and pop. However, if there is a potential future between you two, he needs to think about bring you home with him very soon. Give him another month or two and bring it up.

I never met my son's girlfriend for two years. He had had a traumatic experience with a bunny boiler when he was younger and wanted to be sure that this was "the one" before he introduced her.
We love her dearly, and I am quite glad he did wait. We have emotionally bonded with her and I would be devestated if he broke up with her. They've just got engaged!
So, don't be too upset. I did think he was ashamed of us - and he probably is:) But he said it wasn't that. He didn't want us hurt.

I'd say its fairly normal not to have met his parent by now - most people try to avoid the meeting!!!! If you'd like to meet him family just ask if you can go along with him next time he goes to see them?

Well, it's wither because he's embarrassed of you, or (more likely) he's a bit embarrassed of his parents, or (more likely still) he's a bit embarrassed of having to have to *be there* when that fateful day comes. He knows deep down hes putting off the inevitable, but unless you push, you probably won't meet them until the weeding!!

No, not strange at all... Most woman in the USA dress like whores and end up moving onto a new **** after a couple years.. So, he understands its not forever with you. He understands things will change in time - so why bother introducing you.

Well...It is kinda strange..I mean 7 months is a while...I think you should have met them a while ago...Talk to him about it.

What's not normal, is that if this matters to you so much, why haven't you brought it up to him? Maybe he is a guy, and just doesn't get it, or maybe he is ashamed of either you or his parents. You'll never know, till you talk.

A bit strange but maybe he has his reasons. You should invite them for dinner.
