You still dating that same guy?
Just tell them next time you talk to them.

Yes. We've been together over 2 years now and live together.

Usually not too long after you make it an official relationship. I wouldn't introduce a girl before we decided to make it official...just no point without the commitment.

Dads will approve based off of looks, Moms are different. My Mom liked the ones that presented themselves as more reserved. She didn't like the few that were the type that exuded sexiness no matter what they wore or did (ie the huge boobed one or the tall blonde). Assuming the Asian girl is typical and respectful to elders and modest in public, yeah it will be fine.

You need to talk with Mom and tell her that your business is yours (She should not discuss your new GF with the EX).

I usually only brought them around if it was for sure going to last awhile or if it was near the holidays (hard not to bring them if dating already).

Thanks bro , good insight

Yeah I won't rush to do ...I'm going to give it a serious thought. Will be visiting parents house tonight, maybe I should just wait if they ask about it.

I won't rush to have them meet, but I wanna tell them I'm seeing one so I can stop it with these bs excuses etc if they ask what I'm up to on the weekend etc



I think my mom will like her. She has a good personality. Maybe a tad more shy than ex but she will be fine....if and when they meet.

As a general rule in life, not just dating and parents, if you don't make a big deal out of it, other people are less likely to make a big deal out of it. Just make an off the cuff remark about your gf, the same as you would one of your friends "XYZ mentioned somebody about that", "XYZ wants to see that" or whatever is appropriate to the conversation.

You just give them a hook and a normal conversation will ensue. "Who is XYZ?" "This girl I've been seeing." "I didn't know you were seeing anybody." "We've been seeing each other for 4-5 months, I thought I'd told you." "No, you haven't mentioned her before. Is it serious?" "I don't know, it could be. We're just seeing where it goes at the moment." Etc.
Screw nature; my body will do what I DAMN WELL tell it to do!

The only dangerous thing about an exercise is the person doing it.

Only introduce after you’ve both acknowledged exclusivity and how Long after doesn’t matter much. Doesn’t need to be rushed. I prefer low key events where it’s not too hard to pop in/out like a lunch or something.

IMO? If it has been 5 months since you met this girl and you still have not introduced her to your parents?

There is something you don't like about her or are embarrassed by.

I have introduced 3 girls to my parents (total) and all of them I can honestly say I was head over heels for.

My wife? I introduced her to my parents after 3 weeks. And couldn't have cared less. I was 99.999999999999999999% SURE I was going to marry her.

And I did. When you know? You know. Been together 12 years now.

Words to live by...."You're at the shopping mall with your girl but a hot chick walks by. Are you going to look at the hot girl? No. You use your peripheral vision."

Imagine if she was nekkid or being sexy near you not realizing it was a video call. That would have been awkward.
