When should you agree to meet their folks?
Well if your finding yourself asking this question then you’re not alone. Many people ask me when exactly to meet the folks and I always say the same thing:
“When you are comfortable with the idea”.
Never feel pressured into it, that’s my advice. Sometimes relationships move so fast tat we almost feel out of control, and this is bad! Get control of the relationship and YOU decide when you feel it’s right for YOU.
As a general rule I wait for at least 3 months before the introduction is made.
But something else to comprehend, and that is not to place too much emphasis on ‘meeting the folks’. Remember that it isn’t a job interview and they will just be happy for their daughter/son if they are happy… with you.
Obviously when you do meet them, best behaviour is the order of the day, but don’t try too hard. You are you and they are not the ones that have to date you!

Psychologists recently suggested that dating online daily adds a great boost to your confidence.
According to studies, online dating is a liberating experience for women, making them feel surer of themselves. This boosted confidence could benefit them in their day-to-day life.
Online dating is an empowering experience for many women because they feel more confident flirting and asking for what they need in cyberspace than in face-to-face situations.
According to sex and relationship psychologist Dr Petra Boynton, women should use online dating as a means to improve their confidence outside the internet.

A recent poll showed that Kylie Minogue was the male singleton’s most desired partner. No.2 was the sexy actress Denise van Outen who used to date Jamiroquai.
About her split from long term fella Olivier Martinez earlier this year, Kylie was recently quoted “I have to accept my life for its triumphs and its other sides, take the good with the bad. I experienced a totally new environment. I experienced a world of illness and positive attitudes”.
The 39-year-old singer, who was recently presented with the Music Industry Trusts’ Award, also revealed that she suffered from depression when she couldn’t work because of her exhausting chemotherapy treatment.
“I had the feeling I’d been stopped in the middle of a flight. A tour needs to gain momentum. It’s just like riding a bike, you need to pedal to gather speed”, she said.
“Suddenly, I was torn off the seat, aside from all the other things that happened to me. The depression suddenly came over but I had the goal of continuing the tour, and thinking back it was a blessing in disguise. I had to prove I had what it takes to continue what I had done in the past”, she added.
It’s no secret that we all tend to be working twice as hard as previous generations. The reason… we want more, and so do our employers – so work harder to generate more money.
It’s a sad thought I agree, but that’s our western society I’m afraid. This massive shift has led to a huge increase in office romances. Think about it… we are all working so much harder so when do we get chance to find a mate? In the chair next to yours of course!
A new book has just been launched called “Office Mate: The Employee Handbook for Finding - and Managing - Romance on the Job” which will help you understand the pros and cons of dating in the office.
The author of the book recently said “Your office is your little village,” “And most relationships that evolve in the office tend to evolve from friendships and not from instant physical attraction. In a certain way, office relationships are more old-fashioned.”
The book is of course American, but gloss over all that and the principals are exactly the same everywhere else. According to the authors, 50% of the respondents to a survey admitted dating a co-worker.
