My dad is going to be visiting me in college in less than a month, and he will be meeting my boyfriend of 6 months then. I asked my boyfriend if he wanted to go to the state fair with me and my dad, and he said he would love to, and he even canceled a meeting so he would be able to go with us.

However, my boyfriend was just talking about how he’s going to the state fair THREE days in the course of 10 days. He sounded kind of annoyed, and the time he comes with me and my dad will be his third and final time. Then suddenly after saying that, he asked about our friend, and said “isn’t Sara coming with us too?”. I was kind of in shock then, because that meant that my boyfriend had been assuming that we were going in a friend group, instead of him going to meet my dad. Even though I TOLD HIM that it was with ME AND MY DAD and that my dad invited him to come with us because he wanted to meet my boyfriend. However, my boyfriend assumed that one of our friends was going too because of how I told him almost 3 months ago that me and Sara’s parents are visiting at the same time.

So now I’m slightly concerned about my boyfriend meeting my dad. He was very excited about our trip to the fair before, but that was when he thought our friend was coming too, even though I talked about the fair a lot and it just being me him and my dad, and never mentioned any of my friends. I’m worried he’s not going to want to go now, and blame it on already going to the state fair a few times before. Sometimes he’s kind of childish, so I’m worried he’s going to dip and my dad is going to think poorly of him and never end up meeting him during our trip.

Should I be worried?
