My daughter just turned 19 and she doesn't have any real "rules" to follow but it is our home and we all give each other a certain respect. When she started dating this young man at 15, things were, of course, different. But even today I would wonder if she had someone in her life that she didn't want to introduce to her family.

I only just started dating at 17.

There is certainly respect between my mother.

It has nothing to do with me not wanting to introduce him to my family, it is just a matter of time.

that my mom said she isn't ready to meet him and he said he doesn't want to meet her. I laughed and asked why and he said because it is awkward.

Think people are getting a tad confused and think you don't want to introduce him

It is awkward... Especially seeing as you told him she wasn't ready

I agree, time is not an issue, the longer you two go out together, the more she will see that he's a stayer and loves her daughter, don't stress over time.

Like I said, you may be 19, but I reckon she is more in fear over, OMG, my little girl is growing up and um, sex comes into it... Mum's have a hard time, I remember, acknowledging that side and when they look at the boy, their mind is thinking

I'd talk about him though, the nice things he does, etc, so when she does meet him she will have formed some sort of an idea of how well he has treated you, respected you..
