boyfriend introduces me as a friend
My boyfriend and I have been dating for a few months now, and whenever we go out he always introduces me to people as his friend, not his girlfriend.
Should i be concerned? What does this mean?
I've never met any of his close friends, or any of his family.

You say you've been dating for a while, but there's a difference between 'dating' and 'exclusive'. Just because you start dating a guy doesn't mean that you're his girlfriend.
Have you had 'the talk' with him? Figured out where each of you sees this going, are you exclusively dating each other, that sort of thing? If you haven't, then you need to, pronto.
He might be confused as to the status of your relationship. He might feel as if you're going to bolt if he starts putting a 'girlfriend' designation on you. He might also be overly cautious when it comes to cementing new relationships.
Don't immediately demand to be called his girlfriend, and whatever you do, don't call him out in front of other people! That will piss him off.
As for not having met his close friends or family, that's perfectly normal. I have dated guys and not met their family or friends for months. When you are more committed, feel free to ask to meet his family and friends. Till then, ease up on the poor guy.

You should be concerned and confront him and ask why. If he can't tell the world your his girlfriend he doesn't deserve you. And you don't deserve a guy who can't love you and show it

Yeah, you should be concerned. No idea what it means, you need to ask him.
But a disconnect this basic is a problem. Ask him why. Consider leaving him depending on the answer.

It does seem a little strange that he refers to you as his friend. Not meeting any of his close friends or family may not be a big deal because he may just not think the time is right for that yet, but you should definitely ask him why he won't refer to you as his girlfriend.

well honey if he cannot repsect you and if he doesnt introduce someone as special as a gfriend as a gfriend then hell maby he doesnt deserve you but then you might not want to look to deeply into it, so next time he introduces you like that say "acctualy its girlfriend" and see what he says + you should ask him why you havnt met his family and if he denies to his friends about u being his girlfriend then he doesnt deserve you hope this helped
good luck
