Just introduced my SO to my sisters. They fucking loved her. I guess that is not particularly funny. Same when I met her parents/sister/brother, I was well liked. No funny stories there.
I once introduced an ex by the name of the girlfriend I had before her. Much hilarity was had and I was forgiven rather quickly (We had been together about a week at that point which means I had broken up with the other one less then a week previously. Man, that was a whirlwind romance. Almost married the second one.) Other then that?
Those are the two people I have introduced to my family.
Advice for people wondering if the time is right: No time like the present. Currently dealing with the fact my dad will die without meeting my SO (He is overseas and very, VERY sick) and that really does eat me up. At some point my SO will meet my mum, chances are it will be around the time when she returns to Blighty with his ashes (That will be fun). And then we will be finished up, I will have met her immediate family, she will have met my immediate family, I don't give a rats ass for my extended family and I don't know if she wants me to meet her extended family.
Heh, She is more scared of me meeting her friend then her family! (We are at Uni together, away from respective hometowns). That's something for this coming summer/Christmas.
EDIT: Also, went through a dreaded "Meal in a restaurant for the first time meet with her parents" with my current SO.
This is how it went down.
We walked around town wondering where to eat whilst chatting amiably, then (Thanks to a weak joke that got out of hand and me having to explain myself) I promptly had the piss taken out of me due to my lactose intolerance. We then ate a meal and talked about random crap. It was perfectly nice. They then drove is back up to Campus. The only thing that was weird?
Her parents met at the University we are currently attending and her dad is similar to my SO in that he had never dated anyone prior to meeting her mum. Some weak jokes were told. My brain found it a little weird.
EDIT:
Its a brilliant term. Cause it can mean any of the above. And its pretty good when you are transitioning around "Girlfriend/Partner" and don't want to use either of the above. Or if you are wanting to be gender neutral. Or you just don't think the sex of your partner really matters. Or things are a little bit cloudy.
Man, I am just confused you hadn't heard the term.
*looks at time* Fuck. 1:43. I have lectures tomorrow. Night escapist.
