“If you’ve been dating a guy for several months and haven’t met any of his friends, you may be nothing more than a short-term prospect to him. The reality is, unless he’s a weirdo with zero social connections, when a guy is serious about the woman he’s with he’ll eventually want to show her off to his friends, his family, and anyone else in the vicinity. If he’s not commitment-minded and he’s just looking for a good time, he’ll either be indifferent or extremely opposed to introducing you to important (or even unimportant) people in his life.”
