When do you need to introduce your date to your Parents

When people fall in love and become a couple, it is often a thing between just the two of them, and maybe to the notice of few friends.

Most times, the guy and babe's folks don't know about it till some later time.

When the time comes, it is important to do the prep work before hand, according to Cosmopolitan.

"Let your significant other know ahead of time any weird family traditions or topics he should avoid. What might be a casual remark from your partner can open the floodgates. Make him a list of sensitive issues to never bring up!"

It is also important to keep the first meeting as short as possible, if you can. Also, be a good host/hostess and do not leave them alone as they may feel bored, isolated, etc.
