When's the right time to get introduced?

my boyfriend and i have just gotten together (3 days). we've known each other for almost a month, so a fast progression lol. i'm 20 and hes 21/ originally we had talked about it a few times and he had first mentioned that he had wanted to go on a few more dates to make 100% sure that he wanted this even though he knew he just wanted to be with me. i had agreed to this, but during our conversation he changed his mind and said he wanted to be bf/gf but just wanted to take the relationship slow. so i said ok. he mentioned that he wanted about 2 weeks for us to get adjusted to each other and what not and then to start like telling friends introducing etc.i think because he moved a bit faster than he was planning too the around 2 weeks is just enough time to make sure that this is what he wants. im ok with that i just want to make sure that hes actually going to let people know. he did mention that he hates when people change their status like immediately on facebook and myspace so lol. umm, so far i neither of us have changed our myspace status that i know of. i did change my facebook status though. when we briefly talked about it for the first time he mentioned that he in general keeps his stuff private and that if people ask or come on to him he has no problem saying hes taken. i was just wondering what people's thoughts were- should he be announcing it to the world or what? lol. oh if it helps im an aquarius and hes a capricorn. umm, hes persian and im a biracial african american. thanks for everyones thoughts! :)

Hi Aletta. Every person has his or her own way of handling the situation of changing statuses on those websites, or closing the accounts altogether (preferred choice for me) and whether or not they announce anything to their friends and family.
Waiting for a few dates or a couple of weeks to see if there IS anything to say to anyone seems fine to me.
I'm kind of a private person so I can relate to the "not announcing to the world" feeling that he might have. The more special or important something or someone is to me, sometimes the less I want to expose it to others. This is only because of the screwed up people who have surrounded my life for so many years. So I have become protective that way. I am also the type of person who sometimes likes to keep special moments or things just for herself - like a treat. For some people that is being aloof or elusive, but not me.
I'm sure you went to the astrology website I linked for you one time, but if you don't have it: http://mizian.com.ne.kr/englishwiz/library/names/zodiac/aries.htm. I have never dated a Capricorn so I can't help you there.
