I received a text from my best friend few days ago. She was checking out on me since she hadn't been really hearing from me for the past few weeks. Busy is always the excuse. We texted back and forth. She told me that she just met the parents of her boyfriend the day before. That was a great piece of news to share.Perhaps to many people, meeting the parents does not indicate anything other than just meeting the parents. But to some, it does have significant meaning. And I fall into the latter. Call me traditional. But I see as if you're not treating this person and this relationship seriously, you're more likely not bothered to introduce him/her to your family, especially your parents. Although by doing so, it might not mean everything, it is still a step closer; you are not afraid of showing your special one to your family/friends. You want your special someone to know more about you, your family and to get along with your friends. I don't mean whenever you hang out with your friends, you have to bring along your partner. I like the concept of having some space and own social life. But you still want your partner to know what type of friends you hang out with.
I was very delighted to hear my Travel Companion said, "Let's go..." when his best friend and wife invited him to a get-together. It might not mean too much from his side, but it certainly does to me.
