How should I introduce my crush to my family?

"Mom, this is Julie. Julie, meet my mother"

NO NEED to define who Julie is to you because THAT is OBVIOUS!!

I would just introduce her as your friend from work at this point.

The key question is whether or not she's a strong person. A strong person has good character (honesty, integrity, trustworthiness), displays a positive attitude (cheerful, caring, friendly, forgiving, helpful, and respectful), fulfills their responsibilities (for handling people who are pains in a positive way, for always trying to make a good choice, for taking care of themselves, for serving others), gives their best effort, and demonstrates self-control (of their body, anger, mouth and money).

My suggestion is that you put in the effort necessary to become a strong person (if you’re not already), break up with her in a kind way unless she’s a strong person, and eventually look for this type of woman (otherwise you’re setting yourself up for a broken heart). Unfortunately this type of woman is difficult to find - but save yourself the heartache and don’t settle for less.

(Please remember that you eventually want a 50 or 60 year marriage - not a 5 or 10 year marriage.)

Hope this helps!

PS Here are "21 tips that could help you to attract a strong person" from the book True Love Lasts:

1. Take the time and put in the effort to become a strong person yourself (this is the most important tip)

2. Put yourself in as many situations as possible that will allow you to potentially come in contact with other strong people - community service organizations, the library, high school or college clubs, the “Y” or other workout facilities, religious book studies, coffee shops, non-alcoholic parties, bookstores, concerts (wear a good pair of earplugs to protect your ears from permanent hearing loss), co-ed recreational athletic teams, community service projects, mission trips, volunteer service, etc. Try to get to know other people as much as possible without dating

3. Be cheerful, approachable, and friendly - smile regularly to put others at ease (let people see your positive attitude)

4. Take a real interest in getting to know others. Ask people an open-ended question about themselves in order to get them talking. Share things related to what’s been said as needed to keep the conversation going. Then ask them another question

5. Be polite and kind to everyone - even to people who you don’t like or enjoy being around

6. If you decide to not accept a request for a date, do it in a kind way (being rude isn’t a good choice and it doesn’t help you - word about it will get out and you’ll become less approachable)

7. Be confident about yourself - if you’re trying to become a stronger person each day, you already have a lot going for you

8. Be humble - don’t act like you’re Miss Charming or you’re Mr. Wonderful

9. Don’t be concerned about whether or not someone likes you

10. Have the attitude that if someone doesn’t like you - they don’t really know you

11. Take care of yourself by getting enough sleep (at least nine hours for teens, at least seven hours for adults according to the experts), exercising regularly (if approved by your doctor), and eating a healthy diet

12. Develop a good sense of humor - including the ability to laugh at your own mistakes

13. Be known as a hard worker

14. Dress well and dress modestly at the same time (wearing seductive clothing doesn’t attract another strong person)

15. Pay attention to your appearance, but don’t obsess over it (remember that strong people are attracted to other strong people, they’re not too concerned about looks - because they realize that looks fade with age). If you use makeup, make sure it’s not excessive. Use perfumes and colognes sparingly - if at all

16. Truly care about other people

17. Stay in close communication with real friends who can help you through the ups and downs of life and hold you accountable

18. Be patient - real friends can help you with this

19. Persevere - please remember that almost nothing worthwhile is quick and easy. Please don’t settle for dating a weak person

20. Don’t take it personally if someone doesn’t want to date you

21. Don’t act desperate for a date

You don’t have to put a label on it, just introduce her by her name - “mom, dad, this is (her name)”

Just avoid putting a label on it...Just say meet (name) and leave it at that.

as    the girl im ba ng ing

Introduce her as her name. No need to elaborate about your relationship, friendship or otherwise. "He everyone, this is Lisa. Lisa, this is my mother (name), my father (name), and my sister (name).

You don't do this without first discussing it with your parents and respecting their preferences about bringing anyone into their home. We have a PANDEMIC going on !  If you want to risk your health and possibly even your life, that's your choice; but you haven't got the right to inflict your risky behavior by involving them.  

Other than this, you would simply say...I have a special new friend, and I want to invite her over to watch Netflix with me. Would you be willing to let me entertain her here, if we maintained social distancing and wore masks?

Duh

yes, use friend. that word is innocuous, and covers many definitions for people. don't make it awkward.

Stop worrying! It really doesn't matter. Just say, "this is Mabel" (or whoever), and carry on ...... You would like them to accept each other, of course, but just chill and enjoy your time together. If you put too  much ono small things it could cost you her respect.

Good Luck! 

Until you've put some sort of label on it then introduce her as your friend
