If you are in a newish relationship, you may be wondering, “hmmm, I wonder when I will get to meet his parents?” or simply maybe you are wondering, “hmmm I wonder if or when she will refer to me as her boyfriend?” Here’s when the average person hits major moments in a new relationship . . .Talk about politics and religion after five weeks. Use the terms “boyfriend” and “girlfriend” at eight weeks. Bring up your ex two months and three days into the relationship. Talk about your feelings on kids at three-and-a-half months. Wear unattractive underwear . . . three months and 24 days. Introduce them to your family . . . four months. Pass gas in front of them . . . five months and 21 days. Find out about their credit score . . . five months and 22 days. Start considering getting engaged . . . 23 months. Wow! These people are slow!
