Is it normal that my girlfriend hasn't told her parents about me yet?

I have been going out with my girlfriend for over 11 months now and she still hasn't told her parents about me yet. We live really far apart and we met online. I've only seen her once but we still love each other, but her parents don't really even know me. They know I talk to her everyday but not that we are togeather. My parents know and sometimes I find it hard to lie to them about things that go on between us because her parents don't know. Her mother is very strict and doesn't want her to date, but I still feel that she should tell. I understand that she is scared to tell but I still feel she should, IIN?

    A lot of people of the previous generation don't understand "meeting someone online". If her parents are really strict, telling them might make her life hellish.

    I'm going to assume you're both adults. If you're not, you're opening a big can of worms here and they're all too tangled to be worth my time sorting out, so I'm assuming you are.

    So. Right, I'm going to say the parents thing could be a good sign as easily as it could be a bad sign. Don't worry about it.

    That said, good luck. Not only have I never had an online-only relationship work, I don't even know anyone who has. And I know plenty of people who've tried. My guess is, unless you meet in person soon, it'll fizzle. So that's why I say 'good luck'.

    if you "love" her like you claim you do then you will respect that she doesnt want to tell her parents about you.

    I would say normal in a sense. realize what you said and happening I see two big factors. 1 you met online and live far 2 you only met once In about a years period? being she has a strict mother, you think she would aprove of that? But well just talk to her and try to get more familiar with the family and show that you are really interested. But I personally see somethig odd about meeting online. Like she might seem more like a "online/virtual gf" than a real one you would see in person not jus chatting or whatever. Kids now days..
