trek44 Posted June 26, 2011 Posted June 26, 2011 Hello, thank you for reading. This is a long post, but I feel as though the background information is important. So, I'm currently in a brand new relationship (less than a week old) with a girl from my old college. We attended the same school the past two years and I just moved back home a few days ago and decided to enlist into the military. Really, the seriousness of the relationship came out of nowhere to me. We've known eachother for about two years and have had off and on intimate times throughout the two years. We had started to hang out a lot again toward the end of this schoolyear. The day before I left for home, we decided to start an exclusive relationship. The timing is off as it's now become a long distance relationship, but it is not too hard because I can visit every few weeks when I'm home. We talk daily, her friends love me, my friends love her, everything is great...but now I find myself in a situation where I'm going to stay with her for a weekend at her parents' house. I almost feel as this is all happening so quickly and suddenly. Is this swiftness bad? I have already met her parents just a couple weeks ago when I helped move her into her new apartment at school, but that was when we were just "friends." Her parents loved me then and I had a great time meeting them. Now that I'm known as the boyfriend, I am getting pretty nervous. So, basically, what I'm asking is: Is this all moving too fast? Is this at all ordinary? Is it a bad thing that it's happened this quickly? I have read plenty of tips about meeting the parents and I believe I'll do well (even though I've met them before), but what is your opinion on bringing flowers or a gift in this scenario? Also, her family is very religious and I have never been to church and am not affiliated to any religion. I have nothing against any religions or the idea of religion in general, but I'm afraid her father will ask and I'm not real sure of how to respond. I'm excited about this relationship, I'm just a bit...nervous you could say.
