The guy that I'm dating has introduced me to his family (they loved me too). He is also pretty affectionate around his family and friends but my friends say that that doesn't hold much weight these days, men will introduce anyone to his family, that it's just game and to keep my eyes open. He also invited me to another family event but I wasn't able to make it. I truly wonder what does this all mean.

I have asked him how he felt about me and he said that he is interested in me and he wants to see how far this may go, but for some reason I find it hard to believe. Maybe it's from the past failed dating scenarios/relationships, maybe it's fear. I don't know.

I wouldn`t worry to much about the meaning behind it. Just take it one day at a time, and have fun!

Reading too much into things at the beginning of any relationship is the death knell to any relationship. Ditch the stress and enjoy.

"Friends" can be the ruination of things yet to blossom.

Let me guess, your "friends" are still single?

Yes and this feedback was from a male and female. You're right though, I've decided to keep my dating/relationship life to myself because negative energy (a negative thought, wish, etc) can ruin it.

Bet he never introduced a one night stand to his family.

Hold no expectations - just go as a guest and a observer...

Do you want it to mean something?

I think you do.

If so, now that you have met some of his family you need to build a relationship with two of his family members. Take his mother to coffee, visit his sister and bring her flowers, ...

Feedback from his family, about how much they like you, should have an effect of things.
