    He's not introducing me to his friends
    OK, here goes, I have been dating a guy for about 10 months. We are at the point now of saying I love you and spending a lot of time together. He is 29 and still in school and lives with his parents. I am 31, divorced with a child and live on my own. He has met pretty much my entire immediate family. I have met his parents once for about a five minute visit. I have never met his friends, he says he doesn't feel like hanging out with them and going through all the bull**** with that their girlfriends bring and would rather spend his "free time" with me, and he does. My friends are all pretty much married with kids or have kids, so there isn't much going on in my social scene, plus I have a child so I'm not going out all the time, so I havenet introduced him to my friends, I would if he asked or really wanted too! But things seem to be getting a little serious, but still no invite to hang out with the friends, which I am not happy with! We have a wedding to go to in a few weeks which will be some of his friends there, and I'm a little nervous even to go to that. Just wanted to give you a little history, feel free to ask questions and I will answer them. My question is this: I am confused I have talked to him about this plenty of times and now its just getting old, should I stay or should I go? Any thoughts as to why he won't introduce me or even invite me to his house??

    Any advice, suggestions, or whatever you have will help

    Thanks

    If I was 29 and living at home I wouldn't be inviting you to my house either. I really don't think he is a far into the relationship as you are and it probably isn't a big deal to him. Why don't you back off for a while on that subject and let him get a little more comfortable inn the relationship. As far as his friends go this wedding will give you a chance to see his friends so get ready. As yet I really don't see any red flags here so be patient and let him catch up in his own time.

    I agree with Tal - some people are slower than others about this sort of stuff. Fast people can blow it with slow people in the beginning by rushing them. I would advise that you not push him. Concentrate on having fun and getting to know each other better and better. Are there other places where your speeds don't match too? This may be an ongoing diffference that you'll need to eventually negotiate something in the middle but that sort of action is more for an already committed exclusive relationship. With all due respect, maybe now is a good time to ask yourself why all the hurry too?
