My girlfriend keeps pestering me about meeting my family. I'm not sure I want to bring her home yet for a few reasons. I don't want to hurt her feelings, but she won't let it go. How should I handle it?
answers
1) Your date wants to go home with you at the holidays, but you're not that committed to him/her. What do you do?
What else is there but the truth – You tell him/her that you don’t feel the relationship is at the point where you are comfortable introducing them to the family. This could potentially open up the “commitment” conversation which some might want to avoid. Don’t bother avoiding, it will eventually come up.
2) Your date is a train wreck and you don't want to subject your family to him/her. How do you proceed?
Ask yourself why you are dating a “train wreck”. Consider moving on. If you are embarrassed to introduce your date, maybe it’s time to lose the date. If you are embarrassed because the family is picky…well, be confident about your
date, after all, it is your life.
3) Your date is eye-candy, but not meet-the-family material. How do you handle this?
If they are not “meet the family” material and you don’t plan to be in a relationship with them, don’t bring them home.
Grow a pair and dump her if she's not worth bringing home to the fam.
