I just turned eighteen in October and I have been dating a guy since September. We have been through our trails; fought and still can't help but rekinder our differences in 5 minutes or less.
My family members have no idea how serious we are in our relationship. I'm not ever really around any of my family members anymore since I'm busy I go to college and work all the time, but I still keep my residency at home. I haven't yet bought my guy to see my parents or even meet him. Is that something you have to do? I just don't want my parents judging since he's not "real" city more country then anything and he is a full-time student at a university here. He doesn't have very much money, yet I could give a fly.. my parents are ceo's and a supertintent of my local school system in my area.
I'm bringing him to Thanksgiving and driving 45 minutes to see my cousin. I'm driving my boyfriend since he doesn't have very much money and his car won't last. Should I tell my parents I am serious?

I would bring him and introduce him as your b/f. If they are interested in how long you've been dating or anything like that, they'll ask.
As for your other concerns, you are in both in college. Many of your fellow students don't have 'much money' -- good news, your b/f is normal! I don't understand your concern about him not being 'city' enough -- we all have to grow up someplace. There's no right or wrong to it. Bottom line: It's not about rich or poor, it's not about city or country. It is about the two of you: Are you happy together?
Don't put yourself under extra pressure over what they will or won't think! If they have a problem (which I hope isn't the case), just remember - it is THEIR problem. It only becomes your problem if you accept it. Just enjoy your Thanksgiving with the people you love.
Happy Thanksgiving.

give it time.. if he is coming for a holiday it is obvious you are serious, the question is.. is he serious? if you are still together and happy after valentine's day then would be the time to discuss it with family if it hasn't ocurred naturally already..

Yes, if he is a good guy they should like him, unless your parents are the type who think no guy will ever be good enough for you
