| It was a last minute plan. We’ve been dating a little over a year and I’m not sure I’m ready to meet his family. I’m feeling a little nervous about it and want to say no, but I feel like it may cause some tension between us. |
| A year? Go with it. |
| It’s time |
I haven’t even introduced him to my kid yet. I would prefer to do that before I meet his family. |
Welp, I predict your relationship not working out. |
| It’s not a big deal, OP. You’re not signing a contract or anything! Go, be a nice version of yourself, and have fun. |

I would want to make sure his family wasn’t insane before he met my
Kid. |

OP here, I know it doesn’t sound like a big deal, but I’m a bit hesitant. I’m kind of shy and have a bit of anxiety about these things. I had a really bad experience with my ex in laws so meeting just the thought of meeting his family makes me really nervous. |
| They’re just people, OP. |
Why would you want to bring your kid into it first? That doesn’t make sense. Your kid and their feelings are far more important than his family. |
That isn’t fair to put on your new guy. |
You were younger, now you are older and experienced. Be confident, friendly and nonchalant. No need to think of them as in-laws at this point. |
| Meet his family to find out if you want them to be a presence in your children's lives or not. |
| It’s time to step up and meet them. You haven’t presented us with any viable reason to not meet them. |
