I'm a 35 year old women and have been seeing this man for 7 1/2 weeks. I really like him. He wants to take me to meet his parents, they are not local so it will be a weekend trip. Is it too soon to be meeting parents? I do see a future with him but I have met a lot of parents in my 35 years and I'm still single. Plus I'm 35 and an adult not sure meeting parents means as much now as it did when I was in my 20's. Do men feel that if he introduces a women to his parents that she is a keeper and they are ready to commit? Is he trying to get approval from his parents? We are both 35 and can make our own decisions. I'm confused. Can people give me their experiences when they took their bf/gf to meet parents (remember 2 months)? Meeting parents has always been important to me but I have met many parents and relationships didn't work out. The might be the quickest I have ever met parents.

All of the above and more, probably.
It doesn't have to "mean" anything except what the two of you decide it means. It's not as if meeting them signs you up to stay with him for a lifetime. Just look at it as a way to get to know HIM better and learn more about this person you've been seeing for a couple of months.

Absolutely if I bring one home to meet my parents she's definitely a keeper and I make a quite a big thing of it just to show her how serious I am about her .
Obviously there is no time limit on it but it screams to me that he really likes you. I would go and meet the parents for sure
I met my exH's dad a few months after we married, and his mom and extended relatives nearly two years after we married.
My current H and I married really early on and met each other's parents after the fact. I don't *need* to involve my parents in who I date, nor did I need their approval.
I met his mom a couple of weeks after we started dating...he met my mom a couple weeks after that.....after 23 years....sort of breaks that idea that it's a relationship breaker if it's 'too fast'.
Don't ovet think this....it means he's comfortable enough to take you to meet his parents....go and see what happens. .
IMO, it's too soon to be meeting the parents. You two don't even know each other, really.
I've heard stories from women who say the guy rushes them into meeting the parents to give the impression that he''s serious about her, as a way to get her into bed. Once that's done, he disappears.
In other words, you could file this under the "too much too soon" rule. Or maybe not. But if you're not comfortable with it and feel like it's too soon, go with that. You may discover later that you had a good reason for that gut feeling.
Of course, you realize, right, that we're giving you this advice without knowing much about the 2 months, and how well you two are clicking or not quite clicking. Still, it sounds like you feel that the relationship isn't on a solid footing yet, so, why meet parents? You have a point.
