Introducing Your Long Distance Boyfriend or Girlfriend to Your Friends and Family
You are more likely to first meet your partner's friends and family online in this instance. When it comes to friends, it's not so much important to meet your partner's in person, but simply knowing your partner does in fact have friends can put your mind at ease for many reasons. Having a good group of friends generally shows you that your partner is generally liked and you may get a better picture of who your partner is by the people they associate with.
Meeting your partner's parents usually comes a bit later in any relationship, once things have become a little more serious. Upon learning of any new relationship, many families can be a bit suspicious of an outsider being welcomed in. This is especially true with long distance relationships and relationships that began online due to the stigma surrounding both. Your family may prove to be cynical and may give you advice to be cautious, at least until they have a chance to meet your partner.
Speaking of my own personal experience, upon learning I had entered into a long distance relationship with sexiga Thai-flickor an American that I had only spent 12 hours with, a number of my family and friends were certain I was going to end up murdered, chopped up into pieces, and thrown in a garbage bin. Their concern and overactive imagination came from a place of not having met my long distance partner and not knowing anything about him.
You must remember that your family and friends genuinely care about you and are most likely looking out for your best interests.
