I’m 25 soon and never experienced bringing a guy to a family party. It’s my dream and no one want make that dream come true I feel stupid I have no experience. 😞 My brothers wife’s family make big parties & all her sisters cousins aunts etc bring a boyfriend to the party & my whole life never had a guy come with me meet family & enjoy party with me stand next to me 😞
Parents are pretty protective of their daughters. And some guys tend to avoid that kinda meeting because it's like an interrogation session. Never freak out, they just want to feel comfortable with the idea of you as a boyfriend. So they'll put a lot of pressure on you to know who you really are. And you won’t be able to slink away later as an anonymous dude. If that girl means a lot to me of course I'll go. It's like you’re ready to announce your interest in a lady to the most important people in her life. The experience can be a tad nervous. But it's okay, I'm a man and I'm cool under pressure.
I don't know why you're so caught up on having "experience" for guys going with you to family parties lol. That seems like an odd thing to be concerned about
You should be focusing less on that and more on the type of guys you end up with, and the type of guys you end up with depends on the type of girl you are
Any guy worth being with will absolutely go to your family parties, even if he hates your family, he'll do it because he loves you.
Sounds like the guys you've been with don't give an everliving shit about you
My husband would come to our things every chance he got, even before we were married. He still does, of course.

u My girlfriend's family members are almost all in China. It would be a long distance to go for a party and when we get there, I don't speak Mandarin. In the past, I have attended family functions with other girlfriends.
Don't settle for a guy who won't share his life with you or allow you to share your life with him. If the guy is into you and sees a future with you then he'll be happy to go.
When I was married we always alternated on the holidays. If the event didn't coincide with each other's family events then we were expected to show up. I HATED it but not because of the concept. Her family was insufferable. But outside of that yeah I don't see how you're a "couple" if your significant other won't bring you around their family.
Yes, but grudgingly.
The SO has a big family with three older brothers and an older sister, all of them having kids, as well as grandkids, plus dogs... lots of dogs. The parties are a zoo of screaming brats and dogs running around- the brats usually chasing after the dogs.
It is worthy of note that my SO's two adult children NEVER show up at these family parties. They can get away with it... I can't
Not my girl friends, maybe if we were engaged or married I have and did. She comes with me to my family stuff but I invited her to and she had no problem with it. If she invited me I guess I would, but she hasn't and my feelings are not hurt.
If you actually have been dating long enough to be official girlfriend/boyfriend he should, if it isn't too often. I mean if there is a party almost every weekend, I wouldn't go either but if it's once a month or rarer I would feel obligated to go.
No, I've never been to India. I've never been out of this country!
u Yeah I went to her birthday party in the past
Only when forced
When I was dating my wife i went to all of them.
If I was invited, then I would attend.
