Girls, when dating, how soon should a guy introduce his friends to you?

[pervertedjester]

Some of my past girlfriends were really insistent on meeting my friends early. Even though I have very few guy friends and I rarely hang out with them. (Mainly because they're life long friends that live far away and are just plain weird as adults.) The best we do now is call each other ever few years to make fun of the mistakes we've made growing up. I've settled on Skyping the intros but as far as a set time to do it always varies girl to girl from some who want a quick meeting in the first 3-5 days of dating to others who don't really care either way when it/or if it happens. So I'm never really sure.

Ladies, what's a good time to introduce our crazy guy friends to you?

It’s not a huge deal to me honestly. I think whenever both feel like it’s strong and committed and the relationship has lasted a while. Otherwise it’s just awkward for a breakup. I’ve been seeing a guy almost 6 months and still haven’t met his friends. Mostly cuz they live out of town but we’re just not at that stage yet. He’s met one of mine on a double date and hated her. I’m not friends with her anymore for other non-related reasons. Other than that I’ve met his grandma and his cousin. That’s about it.

Whenever both feel ready and feel like the relationship is gonna last. Can’t put a timeline on it.

When it happens it happens... but if I feel like the guy isn't socializing much with people, I tend to think that he is hiding me away from them or them from me, and if that's the case then I would maybe start asking why we never hang out or speak to his social circle

I've been with my guy for over a year and have only met his roommates (no family or friends yet). He's only met one of my friends and I'm okay with it. It will happen when it happens. If he wants me to join him to hang out with them (he very rarely sees them, kind of like what you described), I will gladly go. As for him meeting mine, when I'm comfortable, it will happen. It's nothing against anyone, I think we just both want to be 100% sure that we're comfortable blending our lives so much.

People your girl/boy-friend should meet chart

-friends = after a couple months

-best friends = after half a year

-siblings = after a year

-parents = after a year and a half of a month

-other family = the following Thanksgiving after meeting parents

It's not really about meeting your friends for most women. She just wants to know if the friends/family (people who's opinion you DO go to when something is wrong) are going to be encouraging you to treat her badly because it'd be "funny" for them.

Whenever he wants me to meet his friends and family. Just God forbid it be the second week of dating. That’s way too soon. I’d want to give it a few months.

[SarahVanRensburg]

But if I was really into the guy and things were going great then I don’t mind- whenever he wants me to meet them then I will.

[Salsacumbia]

When we have been together for at least 1 month, or whenever he thinks its the right time. Either way its cool with me.

[deannaisawesoe]

I usually get introduced by the second official date. Most of the time I already know them. I'm LDS so our dating rules are somewhat different.

When he's ready, every circle of friends is different

[DakotaNorth]

Not for a long long time. I'm one on one. In a group I get forgotten.

I’ll be 21 and never had boyfriend so I have no idea when guys introduce you to their friends

It’s honestly up to him.
