Need advice: How to tell the parents?
Dear reader
I'm here for advice on a matter I find very important: Parents and Family.
Backstory:
3 Months ago I met a girl on an online app (Not a dating app. Just an app were you could chat with other people who had same interests).
I was chatting with both boys and girls about random things. Normally a conversation would stop like around 20-30 messages, but with this girl it was differed. We chatted for like 1.5 months all the time, we exchanged numbers after a while, Facebook information and other stuff. After the 1.5 Month se said she liked me and found it sad we could never meet in person cause we lived so far apart. I liked her also and said I would come to her. Bit more information we live apart 6.30 hour drive away from each other (I'm from Belgium, She is from Germany). So we met and the connection was almost instant. I came to her after that 3 more times, 2 times with plane (50 min flight) and one with car, and we would keep chatting and skyping between the meetings. The distance is not the problem here I am Self employed an decide my own hours and get paid a bit more than an average normal job.
The problem is she is so afraid to tell her parents for multiple reasons:
1. The distance
2. Age difference she is 18 I am 24 (My friends, family and both of us see this in the normal boundaries of age difference, but she is afraid her parents won't)
3. Maybe the thing she is most afraid of ... The way we met each other (She thinks her parents won't accept it that we met over the internet, I can understand this it is not the "Normal Way").
The only thing I want is a chance to prove myself to the parents. I'm well mannered, have a good job and want to make this relationship work for a 100%.
I think it is very important I would get along with her parents. She is 18 still goes to university and is dependent of them.
She is so scared to tell them...
I'm going over this weekend and said to her we would talk about it and find the best solution. I have a couple of ideas but would like to hear what you people think about the whole situation and how we should handel it...
Thanks in advance
