when do you tell your parents about your relationship

Just wondering if you guys wait and how long you wait before telling your parents about a new guy/girl

 

When it gets serious, I don't want them to know him all that well because if something happens, they'll ask me what happened and get in my business when it wasn't serious in the first place

 

i dont really want to tell cause then my parents are gonna ask what i've been doing with her and stuff, and i dont like answering to those questions

 

Only if I decide to marry her.

 

lol isnt that bit to late?

 

i would think so

 

I didnt tell them... since my brothers knew i had a bf... and my mum had her thoughts because he always brought me home by car... she asked my brothers and they've told her

she met him on my bday... almost 3 months after me dating him

 

well at least their accepting unlike, my dad who doesnt want me to have one till after graduate from uni

 

hahahaha lol...
thats what my mum told me either...
but when she found out...
she only said: you must to promise you'll continu doing ur best @ uni

 

haha i guess all asian parents are like that, but im cool with it cause my mom is accepting as long i keep up my straight A's its okay

 

exactly... but i dont get A's hahahahaha... as long it's 60% it's ok... graduation is most important

 

o god, well i need to support my gf/future wife (I HOPE) ya know so i need to get straight A's hehe but yeah graduation is important too haha

 

I didn't tell my parent until I went out with my GF for 4 years, but of course I was 14 when I first started to date her.

 

I didn't tell my parents, they can figure it out on their own if they see me hanging out with the guy often hehe.
But I guess when I get engaged, I have to tell.

 

my dad said to me "(daughter) your not allowed to get pregnant until you you graduate" (from university)
made me laugh so hard

 

i would like to tell them when it gets serious. or at least i know that i'll stay with him for a while, because i don't want one of those really short relationships and then my parents will be wondering why we broke up after such a short time

-lol i can just imagine their faces when you bring her home for the first time and tell them you're getting married. like, where did she come from?

 

lol i would have never thought a dad would say that >.<

 

i don't tell them unless they ask

 

I usually don't tell them, if i invite my girl over and if they ask i'll tell them, if not then i'll just let them assume whatever. I guess i'm not the type to really talk to my parents about my relationships. Though my mum has told me that i should only date girls when i have a stable income so yeah, guess she knows that girls need high maintenance lolz

 

thats so intresting, most of the chinese/asian parents are like...you wont get into a relationship until you re in college or even graduated from college >.< but then if you bring them someone home, or they meet him/her, they take it pretty well...i wouldnt really tell them like...yeah i'm dating that guy...i just let them figure it out lol but if its really serious i'd tell them after a few months...if they didnt figure it out by then -lol
