How do you tell your parents you have a boyfriend?

i'm 27 and i met this guy a few years ago and it went really well and i didn't tell my parents for a while and then it was finally a year that I had been dating him and then it was thanksgiving and I was going home from college and I decided to bring him with me, so then my mom met him at my doorstep and the next month he proposed, and she was mad about not knowing so like its important to tell them if it gets serious so like it doesn't really matter right now if you tell your parents or not, but later once you actually get out of highschool and relationships get serious, tell your parents. right now it's optional.. and don't trust guys if their not amazing i have gone through some horrible ups and downs with guys telling me they love me like crazyyy and then the nxt day they have no feelings
