"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

I've always had bad luck w/ parents not liking me. Well in my current situation, my g/f has kept our relationship a secret from her parents thus far. I think it is time for her to come forward as we are starting to get more serious.

Initially she said she didn't want the situation to be stressful as a new relationship is enough work as it is. I was fine w/ that, however I think we're at the point where she needs to be open. She was tellin me that her mom tried setting her up w/ a dentist that she works for, she was like I think I should tell my mom about us soon.

She is 24, lives at home, graduated w/ her BA in Science, was first on the list for med school, and is taking X ray tech this year as a back up, hopefully she'll get in next year.

Her mom is overprotective as it is. She is an only child and "the princess". Her dad teases her and is frustrated by her princess attributes (shes very high maintenance, takes 2 hours to get ready every morning for school). One of the issues is that I have a child but she says her mom will get over it as she just wants her to be happy.

My question is, how do I go about getting her to bring our relationship into the open w/ her parents. How can I bring the subject up w/out being AFC. Ideas, I don't want to come across as needy, but I don't want to allow her to hide.
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

She is obviously concerned about her parent's approval.

Asking to meet her parents is not needy. Just tell her that you are a bit uncomfortable with the fact she is hiding you from her family, and if you are going to be serious w/ her you dont want to be kept in the dark. Dont give her an ultimatum or anything, just show your concern and see what happens.
