I've know the guy since September. He asked me out near the end of November, though he ended up getting really busy with university finals, so our first date was just last Sunday (the 27th). At the end of our date on Sunday, he asked if I wanted to go out again next Sunday (January 3rd) before school started again. So we'll be going out again then.
Now to my question: How long should I wait before I introduce him to my mom? How long do two people usually date for before they meet each others parent(s)/families. I really like him so I wouldn't want to bring him over to my place to meet my mom and the rest of my family and some how freak him out or scare him off.
He's the first guy I've ever dated, so I'm not sure how these things work.
Thanks!

There is no set amount of time that you have to wait. It all depends on how much you like the guy, how close you are to your family, how much you want him to meet them, how much he wants to meet them, etc. Some people have a date meet their parents on the very first date, others wait years. So you really can do it whenever you want. 3nodding I'm pretty close to my mother, so people tend to meet her pretty early on. xp

I met my boyfriend's parents a couple of weeks after we started dating, when we went back to visit his family for Christmas in 2007. A couple of weeks after that, we went the other direction and visited my parents as a belated Christmas visit. So in our cases, we met each other's parents within a month or two of starting to date.
In the past, because my other 2 major boyfriends have lived locally, my parents again met my boyfriend within weeks of me starting to date him (although in the first case, my parents already knew him and his family because he was a childhood friend). But as Lorien said, it really depends on the couple and can vary from case to case. Just depends on what you guys feel comfortable with. smile

I would usually try the towards the third month (if it lasts that long blaugh ) and that's only because that gives me time to get to know my bf, and figure out if he is the kind of guy that you wanna take home to mom. Because your relationship should never tear you from your family, so then its kind of like the "BIG TEST" for my bfs i just dont tell them lol but you do what makes you feel comfortable

I met my boyfriend's mother on our second date, it just happened we went back to his house to watch a movie and she was home. But then again, maybe he had planned it that way... Hmm.
He already knew my father, before I'd even met him now that I think about it... it's a long story, but we were both volunteering for the same organization and my dad is on the board of directors. My mom he met about... a month into the relationship, because she sort of pushed me to introduce him. If I had had the opportunity to do it all on my own terms, I'm not sure I'd have introduced them so quickly.

Thank you all for your input, I really appreciate it ^_^
I've decided to invite him over within a couple of weeks to watch a movie with me. He'll be able to meet my family then, as well as relax and enjoy a movie with just me.
I really like him and I want my mom of all people to meet him. I want her to see how sweet he really is and that she has no need to worry about a thing when I'm with him.
