When my girl is ready for me to meet her parents, I will. If it's been a year, I haven't met them, and they live on the same continent, I might start to worry. Next weekend, I'm meeting my girlfriend's parents for the first time. We've only been seeing each other for a month and it'll be a weekend trip to their home. It'll be an experience! Especially since I'm an aforementioned Yank in the great South. @ Jay – Assuming that you’re serious about the girl, I say it’s up to her. When my girl is ready for me to meet her parents, I will.

Is three months too soon? We like each other a lot. This article has great tips on what to do when the time comes, but no advice on how soon that sort of stage is reached in a relationship!

You can get stuff ranging from cheap supermarket all the way to incredibly expensive luxury items, so something that falls in the middle, in your budget, could be good. Or maybe if you have a local favourite, you could bring that along, to show them a little about where you come from. Dessert always makes people happy, so it'll be hard to go wrong. (Check for allergies just in case though.) @James:

And people can be committed to each other and be living together without being married, both for reasons given by others who commented here, and for a host of others. @John, there are quite a few things that I could discuss about your post, but as for the rather tasteless pregnancy comment, haven’t you ever heard of birth control?

I have been dating her for over a year now and we're quite serious about each other. This Christmas, I'll be flying over to Portland to stay with her and her parents for two weeks during the winter break (I'm from abroad, so going home is quite expensive). As a first year grad student, having just come out of college (she's a senior in college), I want to get something that impresses her parents but is also not out of my range (I don't want to look like I'm trying too hard). I was originally thinking of getting them a nice bottle of wine, but unfortunately her parents don't drink and her younger brother (senior in high school) is too young to drink. Thanks! James Hi all,
