What if your BF/GF doesn't want to tell parents about you?
I've been with him for almost 3 years - but his parents still don't know about me. He hasn't even come out to his dad, and only his mum and sis know he's gay.
Have any of you had similar experiences? How did you deal?
I can see how you'd feel weird tbh 3 years is a super long time.. but realistically it's just not a big deal, his parents knowing/not knowing about you won't impact your relationship greatly, I'd give him more time
Also parents are a weird case bc not everyone is close to theirs and can't tell them this kinda stuff, I'd only be worried if he didn't tell his friends about you
I would prefer that, since i would not want to tell my parents if i had a serious relationship either. Im out to my mom, but id rather not deal with her questions and her hetero girl gagging when i tell her i have a boyfriend.
I've been with my BF for two years and he hasn't told his parents since they are really strict & religious and he hasn't come out to them yet. Only a couple of his close friends know he's gay, so they of course know about me. He knows my family and my friends though which is why I've never worried. The time will come eventually where he will feel like he needs to introduce me to his parents so I'm not impatient.
Depending on how serious you are, I could see couples keep their relationship on the DL for as long as a year for the right reasons (ie. they aren't looking to be too serious, one's closeted, etc.). That being said, 3 years is way too damn long lol. He needs to tell them now especially if you two think you have a future together. If they find out too late they may come to resent you.
I actually NEVER want to meet my bf's family. It changes things and people pry too much. Plus, if they aren't accepting, I'd rather not since I'd more than likely drag them and get dumped. Not meeting the fam is such a blessing.

I would completely understand. The one relationships my parents knew about was a mess, they were so awkward about everything and the few times they met were the most uncomfortable experiences ever. Not doing that again until I find the one
