Im scared to introduce my boyfriend to my family.

Im 18, my family have never met a boyfriend of mine. I've been seeing this boy for a few months now. At first we kept things quiet and i loved it! I felt he was a bit insecure because i didn't want to tell anyone so eventually i told friends and family. He always asks about meeting my mum, when i think of this happening i feel sick inside. The thought of bringing him into my family turns my stomach and i dont know why. I really like him but i feel id have to be around him as he is quite shy and quiet. Theres nothing wrong with him, hes a lovely person smart dresser earns good money for his age and is an excellent role model for his younger members of family. Hes so caring for me too does anything to make me happy. But the thought of introducing him into my family turns my insides the wrong way.
A friend told me it could be my subconscious telling me i don't think it will last that long and i dont want to introduce him incase we split up and i look foolish. But that doesn't really seem like me, plus we've nearly split many times but hes very mature for his age considering he is only 20 and believes all arguments should be resolved before divorce (not married just an expression)
Any ideas?

  • I think that you are just scared. You did mention that you have never introduced any of your bfs to your family. It's normal to feel like that. Hey they might end up liking him. You're nervous. Just try it out for once. It never hurts to try things. What's the worse that could happen? Even if you guys might not last, it doesn't matter. Give it a try. Good luck!

    Maybe you don't think it will last or maybe somewhere deep inside you know he's not the one?

    Is the plot twist that he's one of those 'Lars and the real girl' dolls?
