Question about English (US)
Trying to figure out the culture of relationship in US. Anyone could help?
I know the answer should be depend on who r u dating with but I still wanna know the general sense of dating or relationship. How could I know the guy/ girl is into me or not? Is introduced to his/her family is a big deal in this country? How could I know she/he is in a serious relationship or not? What's signs in US culture means "we r in serious relationship"?
Sorry for any possible mistake(s) in spelling or grammar: P

Yes, being introduced to someone's family is a big deal in the US. Also, if they use the official labels "boyfriend/girlfriend" then it's usually a serious relationship (but not always).

Thank u for the answer. Could I have more details? What if just brother or sister family and not tell parents? Well, I asked because in China the parents is a big deal, more serious than brother or sisters. And just make sure, had sex didn't mean in a relationship, right? And usually when will be the point-"from now on, we r in serious relationship"?

Keep in mind that these are also big questions that people wonder about here! Humans have been confused about this since the dawn of time.
Sex doesn't necessarily mean a relationship, although it moves things in that direction.
Parents are a bigger deal than brothers and sisters.
Serious relationship might be most connected to how long one has been dating, having sex, whatever.
