I often have uneventful nights and weekends, since I'm an introvert and a computer nerd. But if someone asks, I will actually tell them what I did, even if it was nothing more than sitting on my couch reading a book. Saying nothing about it at all seems a bit extreme.

But, it is possible he's just not good at small talk. To test this theory, try following up with a more specific question -
"How was your weekend." "It was good." "Glad to hear it. What did you do?" "Went to my parent's house." "That's nice. Did you all go out anywhere, or did you just stay home and visit? Do you visit them a lot...?" etc. You get the idea. You may have to work a little to draw him out, but try to stay pleasant and give him the benefit of the doubt at first.

Spending two or three weekends in a row with family may not be average, but this is the holiday season and if you've only been dating three weeks he may have had plans with them already. If he's really close to his family, and had plans with them in advance, I wouldn't be surprised at this.

That being said, you should let him know that you want to spend time with him on the weekends. You don't have to accuse him of anything or give him any ultimatums, just tell him you'd like to see him on the weekend, and ask when he will be free to do that.

If even after all that, he continues to be elusive and secretive, then you can start worrying. But give it a little more time and effort first, considering the season and the short time you've been dating.

Good luck.
