He's a shy guy and doesn't do well in social situations. Has this happened to anyone else and what should I do about it? We've been dating about a year and I've met his friends and family.
Maybe he is scared. I would introduce him accidentally in a restaurant to the family. that way he can't really avoid it if they want to join you. Plus meeting a girls family shows how serious they are.
my house band and i have dated for 4 years and he meet my parents 2 weeks before we gut married.So dint wiry it s absolutely normal and almost natural.HAve patience and Good luck!!!
gal
please open your eyes slightly
this guy may not have any long plans with YOU that's why wouldn't want to know your family and if u do a rain check u will find that you got to know of his friends and family by coincidence or by them pushing to know you,,,, not out of his own will
OR he may be plainly shy which to me doesn't add up
I would suggest you evaluate your relationship with this guy because he is not wanting to take a step toward a future with you. Meeting someones family shows that you are proud to be associated with him,,,obviously he does not want to get involved with you to that extent or he feels that he wont measure up in some way.If this is an issue that is important to you then he should have no problem trying to make you happy.
with some guys meeting the girlfriends family is a big issue. it can be for several re sons like.
i also had a boyfriend who was scared of meeting my mum. I'd been with him for a total of 3 years and he still didn't know my mum! he'd make up excuses why he couldn't come round to meet her. We used to argue as i knew he was lying to me. Eventually he ran out of excuses and just said up front that he was nervous about meeting her as he wanted to make a good impression and that the thought of meeting her felt like cementing our relationship.
you have to talk to him to understand why he's avoiding meeting your family. it's not fair having a one sided relationship. you are a partnership so he has to give too. Eplain to him how you felt when you first met his family and friends!
no matter how shy the guy is..., if he's really interested in you, he would be brave enough to want to meet your parents. specially if the dating thing is going on for quite some time now and you're planning to move to the next level. i have my guy best friend and he said that if a guy is serious with his girl, meeting the girl's parents would be one of the things that he would like to do although it really is nerve-wracking.
