Skyla Mattya month agoHey there, I really need some advice. So, I (23F) have been dating my boyfriend (21M) for almost a month now. We had a somewhat rocky and slow-starting friendship beforehand. We’re both in college, but since it's winter break, he’s currently back at his parents' house and doesn't have a car. So, when we hang out, we usually do it at his place, which means I met his parents really early on. The thing is, he didn’t tell them that we were officially in a relationship before I came over, and this is his first relationship, so I think he was just unsure about how to handle the situation. Anyway, I show up at his house around 10 pm after our date, bringing some Pasteles en hojas (a Dominican dish I made with my mom) as a gift. I’m super nervous, and his parents are obviously uncomfortable, but it goes okay. Now, here’s where I messed up… Later on, we go to the basement to hang out, cuddle, and eventually kiss for the first time (yay!). We end up talking the entire night and lose track of time. Before I know it, it’s 5:30 am. I pack up my things, give him a quick goodbye kiss, and head home. However, his dad was awake at the time, and apparently, this led to a big lecture the next day. According to what my boyfriend told me, his dad is suspicious of my intentions because I’m older and more independent, while his mom seems more relaxed as long as he stays safe. So, clearly, I didn’t make the best first impression. I’m visiting them tomorrow, and his dad won’t be there, but his mom will. They mentioned feeling uncomfortable with a stranger being in their house so late. I really want to apologize for overstaying and crossing their boundaries, but I’m unsure how to approach it without making things more awkward. I don’t want them to think I’m some older woman out to take advantage of their son. How should I apologize for this situation?141
