MinziGirl Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 ... to show your girl that you are REALLY serious about her. A lot of guys says the word : I love you... but a lot of girls knows that it is just words. Thru what actions do you guys do to show fellow guy-friends & other people that you are really serious about her? Link to comment
philove Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 Parents is a good one. I would also consider taking her on holiday or a short, romantic break somewhere. Link to comment
MinziGirl Posted April 17, 2009 Author Share Posted April 17, 2009 So i am gathering that guys would want to be generous to her? Also, he will take her out to meet his 'pack'... i.e: his buddies & family? Link to comment
d24 Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 the easiest way to show someone that they're truly important in your life is to introduce them to the other people (friends and family) who are truly important to you and your life. Link to comment
ghost69 Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 if the girl comes out with my friends, she should be happy. that's rare. meeting my mom is the biggest thing. only 3 girls every have met her and there have been plenty others. but most girls i'm serious about get my free time, like my weekends and such.

pinkrobot Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 I just wandered on to read responses out of curiosity, but I'm wondering if this meeting-the-parents thing is really THAT big of a deal for most guys. I've never payed much attention in the past to how long it takes to get introduced to the parents, but my boyfriend now had me meet his after about a month. And we've only been together 5, so I wouldn't know how to tell if that was indicating how he feels about me.... It's funny, I'm a woman and I've never viewed the introduction of my parents as a symbol of how serious I was about a guy... Link to comment

Yeah... according to a lot of guys, if he takes you to meet his mom, that is a big deal. If he allows you to spend time with his family during occassions like Christmas & Easter, that would be even a bigger deal. Yes, guys? Am I right? P.S: I was with my boyfriend's family during both occassions... so i gather that he is VERY serious about me... Link to comment
DeviousDevil Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 Well, actions speak loudly. Will that guy put himself out for you continuously? Does he plan for the future, be it holidays or special events? Does he make the effort to spend as much time as possible together? Taking a girl back to meet the parents is big for a guy, especially if he respects his parents and cares about what they think. It shows moreover that he is proud to be seen with you. I have had at least one girlfriend in my adult life I could see ever taking back to my family - yep, that didn't last long. Too many people seem pretty non-commital, when I've fallen in love with someone, they know that they are my no.1 priority over everything else beyond going out to do my job (still need to eat!).

MinziGirl Posted May 15, 2009 Author Share Posted May 15, 2009 What else then besides taking her back home to meet your parents? Link to comment
Knotty Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 Introducing her to his mother shows he's serious, especially if his name is Norman Bates. Link to comment
CHANGING Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 What would you say if in almost a year and a half, he hasn't introduced you to his family at all. And only 1 friend 1 time, maybe 2. Isn't there something wrong with that? Everyone lives within 20 minutes of each other. Link to comment
MinziGirl Posted May 17, 2009 Author Share Posted May 17, 2009 Actually, i don't think it is about the timeline. If one is observant enough, one can spot whether or not the other partner is indeed interested. Often enough, the signs are very clear but the heart chooses sometimes not to listen. If the connection between each other is clear, sooner or later, he will take his other half to meet his family. Link to comment
CHANGING Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 I'm not sure I understand what you mean. This is about my ex and the girl he professes to love so much. They break up every 2 or 3 weeks. Literally. I am very close with his family so I know he hasn't brought her around them, and we both have the same friends. When we first started dating, he introduced me to everyone immediately, that's how we got the same friends. It just seems to me if you really love someone youwould probably want toshow them off.

WickedSunrise Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 I think the introducing to parents thing can depend. In high school and college (depending on your living situation) you run into parents because they're more involved in your life. I met my boyfriend's parents months before we were going out - but that was highschool when we lived with our parents. If you don't live in the same area as your parents it can also depend on just convenience as to when you introduce them. I think taking her on a weekend holiday would be a nice way to show it. But overall I think its the everyday things. You put the effort in week after week and she'll know you're serious about her. Link to comment
