meeting the parents

I'm currently in a long distance relationship. He was going to college in Buffalo, NY and I live in CT. We started dating 3 1/2 months ago. I had met his family and friends within 2 weeks. His mom lives in a different country and his father in a different state so I have not met them but I have met everyone else. My boyfriend's dad wants to meet me and my boyfriend wants me to me meet him. I have no problem with that. The problem is that my boyfriend says that he is seriously into our relationship that he can't wait to move down here, which is in a week, but he gives no signals about wanting to meet my parents. He mentioned something once a while back but never again. I also told him that my parents were curious about who he was and stuff and that they had asked to meet him. He said that that was not a problem. But he has not said anything about it... I want it to come from him because I do not want him to feel pressured so I have not mentioned anything but what should I take from his behavior?

You are just going to have to pick a day and say, on X day we are going to meet my parents for dinner, or stop by or whatever - it's your family, he's not necessarily going to push for it and may be wondering why you haven't set anything up. He's done the planning where his family is concerned, you do the planning where your family is concerned.
