well, haven't posted here in a few years but i seem to be making a habit out of getting myself in these situations.
Basically, been platonically very very close friends with this girl for about 6 years, but have always acknowledged that i dont think we'd be compatible in a relationship. not sure what happened but after spending an unprecedented amount of alone time with her these past 6 months its got me feeling a different kind of way about her. idt the feelings are mutual, but im not willing to lose her as a friend, but at the same time it hurts as she's my number 1 partner for traveling, skiing, hiking, and partying.
Make sure that you're not mistaking your friendship for something else, I've been guilty of this a few times, use the post nut clarity to make this decision
Current situation for me: met a girl on tinder (never thought i'd see the day) and its actually going really well.
My issue is, I've never really been open about any of my love life with my family (granted, i've never had anything serious), but they'll usually just stumble upon it. However this time, considering it's going well, said girl's family knows all about me already and its looking like i'm gonna meet them next week. However, my family do not know that i'm seeing someone. I do want to tell them and this girl is definitely expecting to meet them at some stage, but i have no idea how I do this. It's ridiculous, i know, it's my f*cking family and i love them very much, but yeah. Any tips for being like "hey, i'm seeing someone"?

Chuuuuuurrrrsssss
Say "Hey, I'm seeing someone!" That's way better than how I told my parents about my now-wife: "Hey, so I've been seeing someone for last 6mo, and uhm... she's pregnant... so we're having dinner with her parents next week."

Is there any reason you're reluctant, or issues you expect with telling them?
Unless there's some reason you think it'll become a problem, I'd just hit up the family and say 'hey, are you guys available for coffee/lunch/dinner sometime soon, I've been seeing someone I'd like you to meet' and leave it at that. No reason to make it awkward.

lmao there really isnt, i don't actually know what my issue is, just a me thing i think
Thanks for the tips though gents, I'm sure i'll sort it out haha.
I'm moving house this weekend and dad's helping me out, maybe i'll get her to call past
That's a great idea honestly... Tell her what's up and that you've never introduced a girl to your folks before but you'd like her to meet them without making a big deal about it, my guess is she'll feel special about being an exception and appreciate you wanting to introduce her without making it a big to-do.

Pretty sure i've already told her this (or at least i mentally have mentioned it lmao), might mention it again
Those of you who online date, how often do you text before meeting up in person. Like after setting up a date do you stop texting other than to confirm plans, or try to small talk until the day of the date?
