In fact we are often out in public together, I've met one of his room mates at uni and was introduced as his girlfriend. I don't feel like it's him at all, he's not ashamed by me, his parents are just...odd. And actually he suggested we get promise rings and so we both wear rings now
I'm pretty sure its his parents
It sounds like it is his parents, indeed. Perhaps you could try telling your boyfriend that you don't understand what the problem with meeting them is. Maybe there's some latent reason he hasn't told you about. If he were to read this thread, I'm sure he'd do his best to explain whatever the problem is - I don't think he sees it as a problem though. It seems as though he's just casually brushing the whole girlfriend/parents thing off.
If it means that much to you, keep pursuing it. Explain to him your concerns. If you don't mind meeting them at a later time (hopefully not on your wedding day
), then don't worry about it. I'm sure there will be an opportunity eventually.
