Just wondering what you guys think...

Okay...here goes....

My boyfriend and I have been dating for 6 months now and things are going extremely well. I haven't ever found someone who I felt willing to give my heart away to and really open up to, but with him I can't help but do so. He's an incredible guy, who is sweet as well as sensitive. He does so many thoughtful things for me...things I never believed I deserved and being with him (in his arms) makes me feel like I've come home. I am learning to be such a better person because of him. Although I know he cares for me a great deal, sometimes I feel as though I know nothing about his life when he's not with me. This feeling is in due to the fact that I haven't really met his friends (I've only met them once, and it was only for a very short time at a house party...so I wasn't really able to talk to them). For me, friends are an important part of my life and if I am dating someone who I really care about, including them into my circle of friends is extremely important. I include him in events with my friends (going out, b-days, b.b.q.'s, etc.), however, he hasn't really ever included me into his things. I understand that guys need guy time and that he might find introducing me into his life a big step, but I feel that after six months...I should kinda know who his friends are. He has however introduced me to his parents....I see them everytime I go over...but why hasn't he introduced me to his friends. I don't want to bring this issue up, because, I understand that he needs to take things slow, and I don't want to push him if he isn't ready, but could someone explain why I haven't really met his friends yet??

Why not just tell him you'd like to meet his friends?

I think 6 months is a fairly significant amount of time. I don't think there is anything wrong with wanting to get to know his friends. I doubt he'll get upset about you wanting to talk about this.
