Question: I asked before why my guy would be going out for 18 months and never take me out on a date, nor introduce me t nor introduce me to friends and family of his (unless by accident, or default, my former neighbor is his brother). i need to add he does live at home, and comes to my place every night.  so no other lady is involved. but why cant he introduce me to his mom and take me out?

Answer: Well, it could be a number of things.  He could be the type of person who wants to keep relationships separate from his friends and family, or it may be a sign that this may not be the relationship that you'd like it to be.  Does he have the means (i.e. does he have a job, money, transportation, etc.) to be able to take you out?  Did he take his previous women out on dates before you?  Are you his first relationship?  He may just be inexperienced in dating and not think to introduce you to his family nor to take you anywhere.  Is it a cultural thing?  Maybe he's from a culture where traditions are different and you don't meet friends and family until it is more serious.\n\nUnfortuantely, I'm not getting a good feeling about your guy.  I've seen other relationships where the person didn't take his woman out on dates and avoided mixing her in with friends and family so that he could say, down the road, that what they had wasn't a relationship.  I can't say for sure that this would happen to you (because I don't know you or him), but I would look at this as something to be concerned about.  If you really want to be with him, you may have to overlook these things about him and find other things to focus on in the relationship.
