Thank you everybody for your suggestions. I am not sure if my father will want to meet him because my family is very isolated and dysfunctional. My father has no friends and only his immediate family including me, my brother, and my mother. He is not open-minded either. I think I will ask my father and see what he says but don't think he will be willing to meet him. I am not sure but my gut feeling is to wait until my new man and I have been longer together. I think my new man and I really like each other but I am not sure if we will weather the storm so to speak. I am in no rush. My mother also is paranoid and is irritable too. I'm not in any hurry to set up a meeting with him and my mother either. But, eventually, I will allow my parents to meet him if we last. I am afraid he will run like the wind when he meets them. They are not nice people and very opinionated. Thus, it is better to just wait and not burden him with meeting them and feeling bad about it later. I wish my parents were fun-loving, sociable people. But, they are not. This is my burden, not his, for now. Thank you everybody again!
