Maybe someone can help me out. Me and my boyfriend have been dating for 6 months, they havent been the easiest since he has been going through some serious health issues. I love him very much and I know that he loves me too. But there is something that bother me and it is that in the 6 months of dating I havent meet any of his friends or family. He has meet everyone that means anything to me, so I dont see why it should be any different with him. All his family leaves in town or at least in driving distance, so that shouldnt be an excuse. We are definitely serious about each other so I dont see whats the hold up. When it came to meeting my family he was the one that made the plans for it and was very excited about it.....so I dont know what to think.

Why not express this thought to him and see what he says. I think you should definitely bring this up with your boyfriend. Perhaps he wants more time before he feels comfortable doing that? But if he has met everyone from your side, I wonder why he has not thought about introducing you to even a friend of his. Talk to him casually(not in an accusing or sad way)....and see what he says. Let us know..

Ask him why you haven't met any of his family. I think you will find out much more about your boyfriend once you hear the answer.

Thank you so much for your response. That is exactly what i did this morning. I went to pick him up for work and i brought it up casually. i just told him how excited I was about the holidays coming up, specially since I had im in my life. And that meeting his parents was something his parents was something I was really lookin forward to. He said that they dont really do much for Thanksgiving but that he was thinking that maybe I could met his parents this sunday since they were driving down from LA. And if for some reason they didnt come then we could drive up to LA for thanksgiving so that I might met them. And that he knew that it was somethign that needed to be done a while back since I am not just any girl but his girlfriend and he loves me.
