How long before you met your OH’s parents? Is this too soon?

[CandiedPeach]

I’ve been seeing someone for around 4/5 months and he mentioned last night that his parents are visiting this weekend and they’d like to meet me. He’s suggested we go out for Sunday lunch with them.

I feel rather nervous at the idea and can’t help but feel it’s bit too soon. But then he’s met mine a few times, although very fleeting and casually not something we planned.
One of my friends thinks it’s too soon and something you do when it gets a lot more serious, but the other thinks it’s better to me meet them sooner rather than later.

Wow, some of you move pretty fast . I’m more a take it slow......as in I might start calling him my boyfriend in around a years time slow .

We are exclusive Sleeping. But I want to take things slow especially in regards to my dd and he knows and respects that. We see each other a few times a week and get on really well. I think it could lead somewhere in the future.
It’s a hotel restaurant, probably somewhat in the middle ground between nice pub and posh restaurant.

After 8 months but I was 5 Months pregnant, had bad morning sickness & threw up the meal we’d gone out for.

Tbh glad it wasn’t sooner as they’re just a nightmare.

Do whatever you feel comfortable with.

I met DH's parents before I met DH; then his brothers; and finally DH at a party. So minus 3 months.

Oh no doleritedinosaur. I’m definitely not pregnant and hopefully won’t be sick!

I asked him what he’s told his parents about me. He said they know we’re dating and not rushing things, but that he really likes me . And his mums been wanting to meet me for a while.

They do sound lovely and he’s really close to them. So I’m just going to relax and try not to over think it. If they don’t like me I guess it’s best to know sooner rather than later.
Still haven’t a clue what to wear though.

I think I win this one. I didn't meet my in-laws till my husband and I had been married for three years. They live half a world away and we couldn't afford to see them earlier than that.

Eek...I’m feeling rather nervous. I’m usually pretty confident too, but I’ve got butterflies and I’m not sure I’ll be able to eat anything that’s a lie, I can always eat.
Maybe this is a sign, I like him a bit more than I’m letting on.

I knew them before I met DP! meant I never had that awkward first meeting.

They were so lovely and I had nothing to worry about. Feel really very silly for stressing about it now

Aah, really pleased to hear that OP! Lovely update!

Thank you whateveryousay. It was a really lovely day and no akwardness about me having dd. His mum asked about her, but in a really nice way and I didn’t feel awkward or put on the spot or anything.

I met my DH's parents a week after I met him.

How odd to not meet them for 5-8 months.
