Whose responsibility is it to introduce my boyfriend to my father?

Tagged as: Dating, Family<< Previous question   Next question >>
Question - (7 October 2007) 2 Answers - (Newest, 7 October 2007)
A female Philippines age 41-50, anonymous writes:

My relationship with my bf is not yet formally known and he's not yet been introduced to my father, for the reason that I'm afraid of my father's reaction.

What's the best thing for me to do? I told my bf about this situation and he told me that it's up to me if and when I'll be ready to let him meet with my father. He said that he's willing to meet and talk to him and is not afraid of anything.

My question is - in this case is it really my responsibility to decide when to introduce my bf to my father, or is it my bf's? Should he not do this just to show how really serious he is about me?

Please help

I personally think is it up to you when you decide you want to introduce him to your folks. Just dont leave it too long. You will have an idea when the time is right. If you two are an item then go along now and let him meet your dad. Maybe go to the pub and have a drink so that your bf is not made to feel uncomfortable by meeting him at your dads house. Mutual territory is always the best.

take care
