Dont wait until youve been asked on a date to talk to your parents about it. Conversations about dating can happen more than once and will likely change as you get older. Start talking to your parents as soon as you become interested in guys or girls as more than friends.

When should I tell my parents Im dating someone?

“Dont introduce anyone to your parents unless its a serious, committed relationship,” therapist and relationship expert Rachel Sussman tells Moneyish. “Usually, thats after at least four or five months.”

How do you tell your dad youre dating someone?

Discuss the person. Tell your parents about your boyfriend. Talk to them about his family and what you like about him. Highlight his good qualities so they get a sense of who he is. Its also helpful to have a photo for them to see.
