Entity shares the six relationship signs proving that your partner is ready to meet your parents.

Does just thinking about your boyfriend meeting your parents make you sweat? You know it needs to happen, but you have spent the past week thinking about every single thing that could go wrong at dinner. Maybe he’ll make a bad impression, maybe your parents will interrogate him too seriously or maybe their personalities will clash. You keep asking yourself: Is it really time?

You may not be walking down the aisle just yet, but this next step sure makes you just as nervous. Mom and dad totally hated your last boyfriend, so you want this to play out perfectly — you want him to be ready. Well, to help you determine whether or not your new man is ready to meet mama and papa bear, here are six signs to look out for.

1 He’s talked about hanging out with your family.

Your boyfriend has mentioned several times about how excited he is to meet some of your family members. Heck, he’s probably even admitted to you that he’s ready to meet your parents! If he has, this shows willingness and excitement for what others may dread and avoid. Because he’s already excited, he’ll most likely be willing to do what he needs to, to impress your family.

2 Your fights don’t make you worry.

It’s a red flag if you and your new boyfriend are constantly fighting. If you’re already arguing fresh into this relationship, he may not be the one for you. According to the University of Washington’s Hall Health Center, healthy relationships are built on mutual respect, trust, honesty and good communication.

If you feel you always need to yell to make a point or if you’re ever discouraged by the things he tells you, then it may be time to rethink the relationship. As the Hall Health Center states, you shouldn’t feel worried when you disagree with another person; unhealthy relationships consist of unsettled arguments and excessive yelling when someone’s angry.

3 He’s passed your best friend’s 21 questions drill.

Your best friend knows your parents like the back of her hand. If she digs him, then mom and dad have to love him too, right? Relationship writer and radio host August McLaughlin tells Fox News Magazine that while your friends’ perspectives shouldn’t be “automatic deal breakers,” they are important because they often see red flags that you may miss. Good friends value your happiness and your well-being. So, if your best friend approves, he should be good to go!

4 He goes out of his way for you and remembers the little things.

He leaves out the onions and chives from his home cooked meal because he remembers you mentioning you don’t like them in your food. You tell him you’re not feeling well and the next thing you know, he’s at your doorstep with medicine.

According to Psychology Today, “Doing nice things for no reason is such a healer, and it promotes a lot more love in your life.” Does he clean for you after a long day at work? Does he remember your favorite flowers? Regardless of what it is, he always makes sure you’re in good hands! If this is how he treats you, then it’s probably safe to assume that his generosity will extend towards your parents!

5 You always look forward to seeing him.

You kind of have a little case of separation anxiety when you don’t see him for a few days. It feels like you’re always planning your next date because you can’t wait to create more memories with each other. This kind of excitement is a good sign that you have a healthy, loving relationship. It’s good to get excited to see each other because it shows that you two haven’t become complacent with your relationship.

6 You love him.

You love him with every atom that makes up your body. You love him with every ounce of your soul. You love him with all the muscle that’s make you move. You freaking love him. If you two love each other, then it’s the perfect time to share your joy with your parents.

Meeting the parents doesn’t have to be stressful or complicated, especially because you will be doing it together. If you both feel ready to take it to the next level, take the step side by side. You have a man you can brag about — so brag! The most important thing to remember is that your parents just want the best for you, and seeing you happy and in love will ease any worries they may have.
