I wait until I know that it's going to be a serious relationship. The main reason is that my mother has a wonderful memory. If I introduced every one of my boyfriends to her, I'd have to hear about them long after we've broken up.
Every time someone mentions a man, my mother would start in on "Whatever happened to Joe Schmoe? I liked him. Why'd you two break up? I thought he was a nice man. You know, if you always leave a good man, you ain't never gon' get married."
So, I don't bring a man around my family unless I know he's gonna be around long enough. My current boyfriend didn't meet my family until about five or six months of us being committed.
