kelel01 1 #1 August 7, 2006 I know this sounds horrible, but I do it more often than not. I guess it takes away some of the pressure. The only way I can go into a relationship completely gung ho is if the SO is already a friend of my friends (as in, prior to dating me). Otherwise, I feel the relationship is doomed to fail. Happy Monday morning! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skymama 37 #2 August 7, 2006 Yes, my SO and I didn't tell our families for over a year that we were dating! She is Da Man, and you better not mess with Da Man, because she will lay some keepdown on you faster than, well, really fast. ~Billvon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
freeflir29 0 #3 August 7, 2006 I wouldn't say "hide." More like insulate. My Mom can be fairly annoying most of the time. Especially to my girlfriends. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Remster 30 #4 August 7, 2006 QuoteYes, my SO and I didn't tell our families for over a year that we were dating! Why? Was he really ugly? A big nerd? Or worse: was he English!?! Remster Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Darius11 12 #6 August 7, 2006 No I don’t think I have ever hidden anyone but I don’t make plans for an introduction either. In one case that I know of I was the one who was hidden from her family couldn’t imagine why a sweet boy like me I'd rather be hated for who I am, than loved for who I am not." - Kurt Cobain Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanatos340 1 #11 August 7, 2006 Any female that would date me obviously has mental issues to begin with else she would know better. Therefore by definition, She would most likely fit in quite well with my Friends and Family!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
htrammel 0 #12 August 7, 2006 Hide the SO? Not generally. Playmates? DEFINITELY! Some things mom just doesn't need to know Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SarahC07 0 #13 August 7, 2006 Yeah, I used to. I think it was mostly because my parents were never satisified with the men I dated. They always thought that I deserved better. Ridiculous, I know. I quickly learned that my mother will never be satisified with who I'm dating. My friends were never really an issue. They are less judgemental... and just more fun! Happy Monday morning to you, too!

I think it stems from my mother's dissatisfaction with getting married so young herself and not being completely happy with her decision. She's still married, but she keeps telling me stuff like 'Just marry someone who can make you smile...' and what I know she's thinking is...
