I met mine only a month or so after my husband and I started dating. His whole family came to restaurant we worked at and I was the hostess so I sat them. Didnt talk much because I was so nervous! BUT, we have a great relationship and they always say they love me more than their son (joking I hope!)
I don't remember exactly when I met FMIL, but I know it was early... because he still lived with his parents (he was in grad school VERY close to home at the time, so it didn't seem too weird!). It must have been within the first couple of weeks.
I know his parents liked me right away... his last girlfriend was really weird in some ways and they didn't care for her, and I at least had my stuff together. ;)
I met FI's parents before we were technically dating, but after our first date. I loved his parents straight away.
I met mine about a month into the relationship. She insisted on meeting me sooner, but my guy didn't want to "scare me away." lol
I met my FMIL about 8 months into the relationship. My honey is from Australia and his parents came out for an extended stay. His parents are a kick and I felt comfortable with them right away! Haven't seen them since their visit, but we talk on the phone about once a month.
I met Mr. S's mom about 4 months into us dating. She lived about 6 hours away from where we did at the time so it was a pretty big deal, I remember thinking that him wanting to take me all the way there must mean he felt the same way I did. She now lives 14 hours away and there are definately problems. I don't think it's all due to distance I think a lot has to do with their past relationship & her having trouble (understandably) letting go. His mom isn't re-married and she has always been his support before. I am sure it's hard to have someone come take some of that away. A lot of the problems feel more like a "power struggle" to me. Like if FH & I make a choice she questions it to him many times over. Luckily he is sticking to his choices on his own which means they are really what he wants too.
I technically met MIL before I met hubby!
I was a sophomore helping the freshman move in, and I knocked on hubby's door and MIL came and answered the door. I actually chatted with her for a few minutes before I had even really talked to Mr. Toucan!
I met her about a month after we started dating, she's quite a proper lady, and I was so nervous I swore (It wasn't horrendous, but it wasn't good either!). So I hope she took that in her stride. I stayed over at his house in separate rooms. Actually separate rooms at his house only got stopped about 6 months or so ago, we've been together over 3 years! (FYI not engaged as yet)
I met my FMIL when we were moving out of our dorms at the end of our freshman year of college (over 6 years ago!).
I don't think she ever disliked me but I think it took her a little longer to "warm up" to me.
How did we meet? Ok. This is so funny. I just asked fiance b/c I completely forgot.
Him and I were having a bite to eat at a restaurant in the mall, his mom called and happen to be there shopping with his sister, so she asked if she could stop by. (At this time we had already been dating and serious)
She came in, ate with us, and left. It went wonderful.
Now we've been dating for around 2 1/2 years or something (I don't keep track at all) and we're engaged!!!!!!!!!
I loooove my future Mil. I must be really lucky b/c on WeddingBee and in the "bridal world" I hear about lots of wars between mil and bride .... lol.

I actually met my FMIL before I met my FH, as she was a substitute teacher at our high school! The first time I met her when it meant something was a few weeks after FH started dating. I cannot recall how, but I'm pretty sure it was a low key, in passing sort of meeting.
I met FMIL a few months after FI and I started dating. She and I get along fine but that may have to do with the language barrier 
We met really shortly after we started dating. I initially really liked her because I felt like we had so much in common. We went through a rough patch (I think because we were so alike), but we really like each other. Well, I like her, at least, and hope it's mutual!

I met my FIL's about a month after we started dating. I can't believe how nervous I was! Now I'm just as much a part of the family as my fiance is.
Mr. Bee's parents live on a remote island that takes 2 days to get to, so I met them when they came to visit the states. It was 5 months after Mr. Bee and I first met.
I met her about five months after we started dating and she hated me instantly...and I brought her flowers!!!! She just pretended I didn't exist for the next four months and then randomly said I should come to Thanksgiving dinner.
A couple of weeks after we officially started dating! It wasn't just her...it was the entire extended family. They are great though and I love them!
I met my FMIL about 6-7 mos after I started dating Mr Frenchie... she was moving (or had already moved) to UT and was back visiting. I think since Mr Frenchie hadn't lived at home for years and she was remarried, it wasn't like I was taking her son away so she likes me.
My FMIL and I are in the same yacht club. I actually met my love on a snow trip where I thought that it would just be three women from the yacht club (one of them being my aunt) and I...then I turned around to get my bags out of my car and he was standing there, incredibly handsome. :) He went on the trip too and it was perfect!! :) He was home for R&R from Iraq and left to go back 9 days later. :) He comes home in August and I'm flying to Savannah to meet him there!! :))))
I met my MIL about 6 months after meeting my now hubby but we really were "just friends" then so there was no pressure.
his father on the other hand, i was massaging my now hubby (he was my practise buddy for my remedial massage diploma) walked into the house while he was on my massage table and i was practising my shiatsu - we were still just friends at that point too so i dont know what his dad thought!
I met my FMIL about 2 Months after my FI and I officially started dating (I say this because there were a lot of phone calls at night before since we were long distance)!
At first she didn't really like me, but after she got to know me and got used to how blunt I could be, she loves me. = ) They say if my FI ever leaves me for something stupid they will keep me and not him. lol.
I met my FMIL 6 months after we started dating and she seemed really fun and friendly but it turns out she was just drunk. It didn't take long to realize that's how she was ALL THE TIME. It just makes me mad because she has 5 kids including my guy ranging in ages from 22-7 at the time and I always feel bad for the younger kids because she leaves them home alone all the time and goes on trips and they don't have a stable home. She's just so selfish and I just want to scream at her " You passed selfish 5 kids ago!"
There's a whole list: she's drunk, she lies, she's dramatic, she's a gold digger, she neglects her kids, she's selfish... I swear if all of you had unlimited time to get the whole story on my future MOMSTER-in-law you would not believe it!
Lol, that felt good to get that out!
@futurefisher...whoa! i'm sorry you and your man and his family have to deal with that!
I met my FMIL on Easter! Talk about pressure ;) But it went well and we were engaged a month later and his mom said right away that she "knew" :) I'm lucky, my future hubs family is great!!
I met FMIL and FFIL about 4 months after we started dating. FI took me to their house for the whole weekend for "Christmas in January." It was so nerve-wracking! They love me though, thank goodness.
Um I think I met her on date 2. You meet the parents sooner if you start dating while in highschool
.
My fiance and I got engaged the same calendar year that we started dating, so I didn't meet my FMIL until after he and I were engaged. Nor he my parents.
Our families lived far away from us, and we only got to see them over the holidays, which was just after we got engaged. The fact that we hadn't met eachother's parents perplexed some (older) people, but we both only see our parents once or twice a year.
I met my FMIL a couple months after we started dating, and it would have been sooner if we didn't live in different states. My FI on the other hand didn't meet my parents for about 1 1/2 years(my fault). I can tell this has a big effect on their relationship with him. I am much closer with his family then he is with mine. It is a good thing we have a lot of time to straighten it out.

I find that a lot of brides on here have trouble with their FMIL. I'm wonder if this correlates to when you met them or how involved they have been in your dating relationship?
I met my FMIL when I was in high school. She went through a time where she didn't like me, but she's come around and now we have a great relationship. :)
What about you?
