Please Introduce

I was reading this post and made me think too. I do have a few friends with this situation too. Is it a common thing nowadays or what?

Post - You are dating someone and that person never introduced you to his family or friends.

One friend dated some guy maybe like almost 2 years and she said she met the parents but non of his friends. Another one dated for 2 years and never met the parents or friends. They both find it weird but maybe it's something the guy isn't comfortable with?

I'm thinking what so uncomfortable about showing your other half to important people in your life? Do they think their other half isn't good enough to be shown off? Do they think their other half isn't "the one" so no point of letting anyone know? Do they think it's just something between them and doesn't matter if other people know or not?

I have no clue, only those guys would know the answer.

I think not letting friends know is ok ish (at least let close friends know) but not letting family know is a big thing. They can't hide their other half forever.

I guess sometimes getting introduced or introducing someone does give some people pressure/stress? Like I'm a bit introverted so if you show me off to like a huge group of people I'll feel so uncomfortable. Especially when I don't know anyone there except for that someone special. Please show me off in small groups only.

I hope I won't be "hidden" in the future.
