writes:I am in my mid thirties and dating again after divorce. A little on the rusty side when it comes to dating so hope you can help? I am in the early part of a new relationship with a great guy. We have just started spending the night at each others places over weekends and have seen each other for about 5 to 6 weeks. We haven't talked about making an official commitment, but enjoying each others company. This weekend he will be saying at my place and I was wondering if it would be appropriate to introduce him to some of my friends? My worry is that if I do, would that make him feel like I am suggesting a commitment or suggesting that we are now a "couple" and scare him away? Any thoughts appreciated :)

1. ABSOLUTELY introduce him to your friends.
2. Find out how HE wants to be introduced, just ask... How should I introduce you to my friends? 'This is the guy I'm (just started) dating'... or 'This is my friend' or ???

 I think that now is as good a time as ever to introduce you B/F to your friends. At the 5-6 week mark he is past the label "one night stand." I wouldn't introduce him to the parents just yet, but to the friends, I think it is a step in the right direction. If you wait too long, he might think that you are embarassed of him.
Good Luck!

I think the best thing you can do is ask him about it. Ask him if he would like to meet your friends and whether he would be comfortable with it. I think if he's a great guy and he's not just a commitment phobe he will be all right about it. Best to ask him and see what he says.

 Best way around that one is to say "This is my FRIEND..." that way you aren't pushing into anything and if wants to change it, he will. I wouldn't assume exclusive until you two talk about it. You are right, guys don't like to be pushed into ANYTHING!
