This is related to a post on another thread. "Meeting the parents". Is it a big deal to meet someone's parents/family? I love for my friends to meet my family, hang out at my house etc. I did wonder though, why some friends would always insist on meeting outside at the mall etc.
Is it such a big deal to meet the folks? In the same way, would it be considered serious if your date wanted you to meet his/her parents, siblings, extended family etc etc?
