When is the best time to meet his parents?

Question - (3 July 2010) 2 Answers - (Newest, 3 July 2010)
A female United States age 30-35, anonymous writes:

He and I have been dating for about a little bit over 2 months. Due to our crazy life, busy schedules and the distance, we don't really get to talk a lot or see each other that often. But whenever we do, its a blast!

About a few weeks or so after we started dating, he met my mom, totally by accident because I wasn't expecting her to show up at my place. They had a quick 5 min conversation, just saying hi and things like that and my mom left.

He is deploying in 4 months, and although we had a talk sometime back on the 1 month line that we are going to just enjoy our last days together and end the relationship once school is out because he will be moving to a place that's 3 hours away and will be deploying. But then.....we never ended it. He still drives up to see me, and everytime he sees me, he always shows endless amounts of affection.

Now my question is, he never really brought up his family and rarely talks about them. I know he lives with parents now and has siblings. I never asked to meet his parents, but I would really like to meet them before he leaves. But it just seems like he never talks about them..... And therefore, would be awkward if I bring it up.

They live a couple of hours away and I tried telling him that I don't mind being the one driving the distance just so it'll make things easier for him. He said that would be nice but then, till today, he is still the one doing all the traveling.

I once tried saying that I would love to meet the animals @ his place if I come to his place and well, his reply is what concerns me.....he said he'll try to bring them on one of his trips to see me.

Maybe its just me over reacting or maybe its just because he is not ready, but I feel like he is trying to hide me from his family.

What do you think? should I just wait a little while longer?

It's up to him when he's ready just give him time! take your relationship one day at a time enjoy each other the rest will follow. if you trust him and hes good to you then have faith in him maybe theres a reason why he is not bringing it up yet? or ready.

Maybe just ask him about it or ask him to meet your parents and see if he follows suit. Just tell him how you feel and tell him you'd love to meet his folks. You might also wanna wait it out a bit longer. 2 months isn't a super long time, and maybe he feels it's just too soon. Either way, it's probably best to talk openly about it.
