His friends want to meet me...

Is this a big step in a relationship?

He told me "My friends want to meet you . . . would that be awkward? Last night they told me 'invite your "woman" .. you talk about her and we haven't met her yet."

We're not even officially dating, so I'm a little confused if this means he's leaning towards making it official or if I'm over analyzing.

He WAS going to have me meet his parents but I said it would be overwhelming meeting his family all at once and not being prepared.

Guys, tell me what this means? I haven't dated before because I haven't had the time so...reassurance, or advice would be greatly helpful.
