How soon do you introduce someone you're dating to your friends?

Based on my track record, my friends have told me they don’t want to meet any potential partner unless we’ve been going out 6 months,

Normally, I would say two months and you both know it will go longer

As soon as the orgy we'll all participating in is almost finished. You??

One week to friends, two weeks to mom and dad, if he doesn't click then he's gone....on to the next.

I feel like I a month of consistent, drama free dating to introduce to a group of friends. That's only typically 1-3 dates per week, unless you are moving lesbian style. I have dated guys that want you to meet a big group of friends immediately, but I find that hard especially when I am still getting to know the guy independently. If the friends suck, you are doomed.

R4 is either joking or a lesbian

R5, ESPECIALLY if his behavior changes around his friends.

I’d say one to two months and then it’s with a controlled number. If they’re introducing you to their 50 best friends all at once, it’s going to feel corporate. This is, however, when you find out if he’s a gossip or a shit to his friends.

Also, you have to ask in advance if you will be meeting any exes or people who are BFFs with exes. That’s always weird.

Also, anything you do or say will be repeated, so go diplomatic if there’s booze; drunks fuck up anything you say and then repeat it.

No one needs to meet friends this fast.

If my friends met every guy I hung out with for 2 weeks, they'd need a scorecard to keep up.

Who cares. There is no rule. Meet people and be friendly.

My friends all begged me to wait at least 3 months as they could never remember their names.

People care r10. Introducing the person you are dating to other people is a sign that you want them to get to know this person. You shouldn't bother doing that if it's still super early.

Oh, I bring all my friends with me to every date!

I think it was about 3 months in, when it felt ok for us to meet each others' friends, but only if these friends were specifically initiating the event. That felt right to me. "Hey, we want to go get sushi, you want to join?" "Sure, can my new boyfriend join too?" "Sure!".

Now that we've been together 8 years, we have all met pretty much everyone, and on multiple occasions. It kind of flowed nicely over the years, and I'm glad. There was no big audition for either of us to get through, it was a series of random dinners or drinks, or a house party, or randomly running into them in the world, or meeting up in our travels to places we've lived before.

Luckily we all like all of each other's family and friends. That's a miracle to me. All get togethers are very fun and pleasant, and everyone has stepped up in looking out for each other too. I've helped his friend's mother's charity for the past few years by volunteering and raising money. I've helped his friend's new brewery business get off the ground, by promoting his beers locally. I've helped his mother with some of her more difficult paperwork (she's Japanese native), and helping her navigate the US bureaucracy a bit. He helped me care for my mother when she was dying of cancer. She loved him like a son of her own.

If I'm meeting multiple dates of yours in a 30 day period...you're a lesbian.

Dating???

What’s that?

Maybe your friend just loves you and feels that you are important enough to meet a potential partner early?
