My boyfriend and I have been dating for almost 6 months now. He hasn't even met my family yet, I have mentioned it on several occasions but he finds an excuse not to meet them. I don't know what to say to him anymore, any idea's as to why he keeps putting this off?

Mistify agony auntHe might still be afraid, insecure, or unsure.

My boyfriend was exactly like this in the beginning of our relationship a year and a half ago.

You feel that he is still keeping his back door open - in case he might want to slip out at some point. Maybe he really is just anxious and afraid of what they'll think of him. Either way - you need to sit him down, and get to the bottom of his problem. Ask him (don't accuse) what his reason's are for NOT meeing your family. Tell him why it is important for you for him to meet them. Then find a middle ground. You might have to give him some time. I only met my boyfriend's parents when we were together for 8 months even though he'd met my mom on our first date... Just give him some space, but be clear on his reasons.

Good luck.
