I met his family on Friday night, and he introduced me as a friend of his and his sister's. It kinda felt bad, but he's been very clear that that's basically what we are right now. He's definitely not going to say, "this is my pen pal that I kiss sometimes when I see her..."
His family is lovely, especially his father. His dad treated me like I was important. You know the difference in the way parents normally treat you when you're just a friend, versus how they treat you when you're introduced as a girlfriend? Well, his dad treated me like I was a person. Like I mattered. He stood up to shake my hand. He looked me in the eye. I liked it.
Still, it's been bothering me recently, the slowness of our relationship, mostly because I don't behave this way with my friends. This is not a friend relationship. It's just not.
So we talked about it last night. I don't know how to explain it to you in a way that will convince you that everything's okay while still respecting the privacy of the conversation, but suffice it to say that I'm satisfied. And he agreed that I shouldn't have any doubt about whether or not he wants me in his life. And we're still going to take things slowly, and I think that's actually probably a really good idea. And I'm pretty happy.
He calls me Lady... I totally like that...
