Dating for ten weeks...invited to his family's Thanksgiving dinner

Is this too soon?  I really don't feel uncomfortable - the both of us really hit it off and have spent a lot of time together.  I only have my kids Thanksgiving morning and then they are going to XH's parents house for dinner and my family isn't doing anything so I would otherwise be alone.

I don't know what is right and have some trouble trusting my judgment at the moment and would like other people's opinons.

Re: Dating for ten weeks...invited to his family's Thanksgiving dinner

  • If you don't feel comfortable, I think you have your answer.  Don't do anything you're not comfortable with. 
  • I always say go with your gut...If you are comfortable with it, then go...if not, don't...
  • If you want to go, go

    If you don't want to go, don't go

    I don't think there is a "magic" amount of time you need to be together.  Plus, it doesn't seem like there are any complications, like having your kids or wanting to go somewhere else.

  • I don't see any issue with this.  Go if you want to.

    We're kind of going out.
  • You know your relationship the best. If you want to go and have nothing else going on... why not?

  • If you are otherwise going to be alone then I think it was nice of him to include you.

    If it meant you needed to not be with your family then maybe it would be to soon for you to ditch your family in favor of his at 10 weeks.

    I agree with this.

    I agree with this. 

    Me too.

  • I agree that you should go if you want to go, and don't go if you don't want to.

    Meeting the family is not moving too fast if it doesn't cloud your judgment of your SO or your relationship.  If you guys spend the dinner declaring your undying love for one another after 10 weeks then I would give you the side eye.

    I think the fact that he and his family would invite you says a lot about him and them, in a good way.

    I agree with this. Some guys wouldn't even invite you after only being together for 10 weeks. He sounds like a good guy!
