'Most likely it's because you're being played a bit. They could be someone who doesn't think of you as a long-term prospect, or they don't think you're special enough to have brought you into their circle of friends.'
However, she says that there could be some legitimate reasons why they haven't introduced you to their friends and family yet, in the early stages of a relationship.
不过,她还表示,在恋爱初期,他们采取这种做法可能还有其他合理的理由。
'It could be just that they're comfortable with your friends, and haven't been bothered to introduce you to theirs yet', Jo explained. 'Or they're worried that you won't like their friends'.
But she says that you should definitely question them on why they've not introduced you yet, if they've already met your friends.
但她表示,如果对方已经见过你的朋友了,你还是该问问为什么还没有把你介绍给他朋友。
'They might say something like "my friends are crazy, you won't like them", but you can always ask to meet one or two of their friends, or their friends who are in relationships,' she said.
If they still won't agree to let you meet them after discussing it, then alarm bells should be ringing.
如果之后对方还是不同意带你去见朋友,那就要提高警惕了。
Jo said: 'There are ways to head it off at the pass, but the question will resurface again as you move into the next phase of your relationship.
乔说:“这个问题现在可能会被抛在脑后,但当你们进入下一个恋爱阶段时,它会再次出现。”
'You'd start to question what kind of person they are and why they're not introducing you to their friends. You'd get an instinct that something isn't right.'
