I think it depends, it might be very daunting if 'everyone' has to meet him. You could start by dinner with a sibling and slowly start introducing him to different family members to not make such a big deal about it. I'm sure your family are interested in who this new person is in your life and if you like him a lot, they will be the same!

 Hey, well when i took my girlfriend to meet my family, i was terrified! Honestly mortified, that they would say something to show me up or embarrass me, the possiblity they wouldnt like her, or make her feel out of place. I can understand if your feeling like that. It will be scary thinking about your parents expectations of the perfect guy for you. Unfortunately sooner or later they will have to meet him, best getting it over with. If you love him enough surely your parents will understand that you are serious about him, also take into consideration how he feels about this, i bet he is more scared about it than you. But it sounds to me that theres a reason you dont want your family to meet him.

 If you plan to keep him as your bf then eventually they are going to meet him.So you may as well set it up so they can get the opportunity to see this guy that has captured your heart.From a guys perspective meeting the parents is a terrifying thought.I`m always worried that they wont feel I`m good enough or that they wont like me.But on the other hand it shows that my girl is serious about me.After all she is not going to bring just any guy home to meet her family.

 Why are you scared of what they'll think of him?
Do you feel your boyfriend is lacking in some way? Or do you feel your family is overly judgemental?
If it's the first one then I'd question why you are with him.
If you care for this boy eventually you'll have to resolve whatever issue it is that is making you reluctant to introduce him.
