He hasn't brought up anything regarding me meeting his parents. He's 14 years older than me. I don't want him to meet my parents unless he brings it up first. What's your view on this? Thanks Reply to this Question

 You wont bring it up unless he does it first. Maybe he is saying the same thing! Anyway, if your parents want to meet him then I think they should. Dont make a huge deal out of it like my parents want to meet you, grill you on you intentions and see if they approve. Just say that your parents have invited the two of you to dinner or a party or have an extra set of tickets to a show. Make it casual and unintimidating.

maybe he is wating for you to bring it up?
get it over and done with, you are old enough to make your own mind now so why worry?
