When is the best time to meet the parents? (dating, woman, love)

[john-ever-learning]

Ok, it's been over a year since my divorce and I've been dating a lovely woman for a month now. Things are going very well. We seem to happier when around one another, we love to cook together and we're kind like the male and female version of each other.

We're not stuck up each other's butts nor contact each other so much to the point of being annoying. We both had lives before we met and that hasn't changed. So far this relationship is everything I learned I wanted out of relationships.

I'm thinking of introducing her to my mom sometime next month. It's easier for her to meet my mom as my mom lives in our town. Her folks live like about a 6 hour drive away.

So how about it, how long have you waited and would you wait?

You seem to be taken enough with this woman to even consider the thought of her meeting your mom..it's a big deal, and if you feel you're ready to take that step with her, then by all means do it!

I met my husband's parents about a month into the relationship. Family is super important in our lives, so it wasn't even something we thought about putting off. Plus, I think it made it less stressful to do it early on, when there was less pressure.

I'm along the same lines of thinking as you all. Consider the waiting game done. She's going out of town this weekend to visit her mom and sister. A girls weekend if you will.

I believe I will try and set it up either around Memorial Day or the next weekend.
