One thing that bothers me is initially she insists to drive even though I offer her a ride....in fact we drove ourselves in all our previous dates. She keeps saying she's independent and don't want to disappoint me. I think I know where she comes from because one of her exes last time said she was too dependent and clingy type. So, this is why she wants to be an independent girl so she won't repeat the same mistake. I told her that not every guy is like that and I prefer independent gal that willing to become dependent on her guy sometime.

Atlast, she agreed to accept my ride and hope it won't trouble much.

This morning she suddenly texted me and asked how I will introduce her as when she visits my family. Then I casually and straightforward said as my gf for sure then I ask her the same question back. She was shocked and she said she will introduce me as a friend to her family. I sent her a sad emoji and she responded the same. Then, I said I'm being sincere here and if it's too fast pace then I will follow your pace. She replied back by saying normally she will bring the guy back to see her parents before decide to become life partner. Then I told her i don't seek others' opinion or approval to decide my life partner because I believe in my own evaluation. She said this is her traditional way to involve her parents in big decision and I responded that I will follow her way. She ended this topic by saying this is just a normal chat not hinting you something then I just let it slides and end it.

Introduce as friend first before as boyfriend to parents is normal nowadays?

I definitely need to slow down but for me meeting parents is only when both are official as a couple though...

Just a small update:

She still uncertain about whether I'm the one based on our conversation just now before she sleep.

As usual, she says she scares she will hurt my feeling because I'm being too nice to her and this will make her feel bad if she doesn't reciprocate the same feeling.

She also said because of timing and if she didn't experience past bad relationship/breakup, she would have already accepted my protection and pamper.

I told her let's go for a short getaway trip on March and she agreed and went off to bed.

Timing is off and I should wait the right time then.
