How soon is too soon to spend a travel holiday with your boyfriend’s family?
Question by desespoir_noir: How soon is too soon to spend a travel holiday with your boyfriend’s family?
My boyfriend and I have only known each other a little over seven weeks. By the time Thanksgiving rolls around, it’ll be more like twelve weeks. Christmas will be sixteen or seventeen. In months that’s roughly two, three, and four, which sounds longer than weeks, but only by a little.
However, we’ve bonded incredibly fast, and it may have been a little less than two months since we met, but both of us feels like the time before we knew each other was a loooong time ago. We’re both into having the other meet our parents this coming set of hoildays. We live in Northern California. My parents are flying out from Ohio, so that’s a big deal for Thanksgiving, and to see his parents at Christmas I’d have to travel to Southern California. That’s another big deal.
Is the time frame for this kind of visit subjective? Are we rushing it a little? Is it fine since we’re both behind the idea? Would it be weird for our families? I could conceivably travel to meet his parents at a less significant time, but my parents will only be here for three days, and who knows how long it’ll be before they come back, so he’s at least having a Wednesday night dinner with them or something.
I don’t know. This is the first guy I’ve dated since moving away from home several years ago that I actually want my parents to meet, and I’m a little lost. What are your thoughts on boyfriends/girlfriends and meeting parents that live more than, say, 400 miles away?
