I (34m) met my gf (33f) at the office where we work. She's an amazing person who is dedicated to her work. She is very close to her mom and doesn't hesitate to bring her up in the conversation. I think her mom's name is in her phone contacts. She's the only person I've been in a relationship with where I didn't have any issues. She's very determined and honest. She's made it clear she doesn't like people who don't do their part at work. I really admire the fact that she's so close to her parents. She doesn't have any problems expressing her feelings to me which I really appreciate. She's a great partner because she doesn't get jealous and is okay with whatever I do. She doesn't have any qualms about writing while we're in bed. She's a great partner and I really like her.<br><br>On our first date, we went to a restaurant and she got dressed up. She looked pretty and smelled great. Her mom did her hair and she looked really attractive. It became clear during our conversation that she and her mom had a very close bond. Her mom even did her makeup and hair for her. I really admire the fact that she and her mom are best friends. She doesn't hesitate to express her feelings and share her opinions with me, which I really appreciate. I find her straightforwardness and confidence really appealing. She's a very genuine and caring person. She's extremely dedicated to her work and she doesn't tolerate people who don't do their part. I really like her honesty. She's a great partner who doesn't get jealous and is okay with whatever I do. She's also a great communicator and doesn't hesitate to express her feelings. She's very confident and doesn't let anyone bring her down.<br><br>She and her mom are very close and she doesn't mind sharing her feelings. She was very honest about her past and what she had experienced. She's very determined and strong-willed and I admire that.<br><br>She's a very caring person who is always willing to help others and I admire that. She's very open and honest with her feelings and doesn't hesitate to share them.<br><br>Overall, she's a great person who is very honest and caring.<br><br>​<br><br>UPDATE<br><br>A few things to note after reading the comments:<br><br>1. The restaurant was the place I picked up her mom to go to the restaurant, my bad for the ambiguous sentence.<br><br>2. I had to edit the post as some people got the wrong idea because I had written about her parents, there is a language barrier. My post wasn't long enough to describe that she's only close to her mom but I'll talk about it in detail. I just wrote what I liked about her and kept the post light and short. I didn't think I needed to go into detail about her father since I don't have any issues with him.<br><br>3. The only thing I'd like to say about her father is that he's a great person who looks after her mom. He's a very caring person. I'm a bit confused as to why people assume he's a bad guy. He's a great father but he's a very busy man. He's not lazy or unresponsive. He's very patient and kind. I think he's a bit self-conscious because I'm a foreigner and he doesn't speak English. Despite his busy schedule, he always makes time for us.<br><br>4. I'm really confused about the comments about her parents' marriage. I don't understand why people are assuming this.<br><br>5. I'm a bit uncomfortable with the suggestions that her and her mom are being "selfish" and "manipulative." These are not words I associate with her. She's always very friendly and willing to help others. She doesn't think about herself, she always thinks about others. She's very responsible and does things to the best of her ability. I don't think it's a good idea to make judgments about someone you don't know.<br><br>6. I should have written this in the post but I didn't because I thought it would be too long. She's very close to her mom but she's not close to her dad. She doesn't hate him or anything like that. I think she's just not comfortable around him. I don't think she has any trauma or issues with him. She doesn't seem to have any dislike for him. She doesn't express any negative feelings towards him. I don't think she has any concerns about being around him. She doesn't seem to have any issues with him. I think they just don't have much to talk about. I don't think she's worried about being around him. I think she just doesn't want to be around him. I've never seen her being rude to him. They don't have much to talk about and he's not very social. She doesn't express any negative feelings towards him. I don't think she has any trauma with him.<br><br>7. I'm a bit confused as to why some people assume that I'm the father of the child. I'm not. I'm just someone who grew up in a completely different cultural context. I'm not used to this kind of behavior. I have no issues with her feelings or behavior.<br><br>8. I'm a bit confused about the comments about "selfishness" towards her husband. She doesn't have a husband, this is our relationship. I'm not anyone's husband.<br><br>9. I'd like to point out that I'm an Asian and she's an Asian. I think the cultural context is important here. Growing up in a collectivist culture, I think relationships between friends and family are very important. I think close relationships between family members are very important. I don't think it's a bad thing to admire close relationships, I'm someone who grew up in a different context and I admire them.<br><br>10. I apologize for any confusion caused by my previous post. I didn't mean to create any misunderstandings. I just wanted to describe her and what I liked about her. I didn't think I needed to go into detail about her father since I don't have any issues with him.<br><br>I guess I was a little too hasty in making my post. I apologize for any confusion caused. Thank you to everyone who pointed out my mistakes.<br><br>​<br><br>EDIT<br><br>I think I should also give a little context about myself. I'm a foreigner and I've been in the country for about a year. I've been in a lot of different cultures in different countries. I think it's just a cultural thing.<br><br>​<br><br>EDIT 2<br><br>Here's a list of things I've learned from the comments:<br><br>1. I just want to point out that I think the father is a very caring father. He's a hard worker and he's not lazy. He works hard and he doesn't have time for her because he's always busy. I don't think he's a bad guy. I think the comments about the father are unfair. I don't think he's a lazy guy who doesn't look after his daughter. He's very patient and he's a great father.<br><br>2. It seems like a lot of people assume the parents are divorced, I don't know why.<br><br>3. I don't have any problem with the father.<br><br>4. I'm a bit confused about the comments about the father being abusive. I don't think that's the problem. He's a very patient guy and he takes care of his wife. I don't think he's a bad guy.<br><br>5. I don't think the father knows about his wife and daughter's relationship.<br><br>6. I'm confused as to why people are assuming the daughter is jealous of the father. She's not like that.<br><br>7. I don't think there's any abuse happening, not even emotional or psychological abuse. I don't see any signs of that.<br><br>8. I think the comments about the daughter's behavior are unfair. I don't think she's being manipulative or selfish. I think she's a caring person. She's always very willing to help others. She's a great person, not a selfish one.<br><br>9. I'm a bit confused as to why people are assuming that the father doesn't know about the relationship between the mom and daughter. I think he knows about it. I don't think it's a problem for him. He knows and he's not worried about it. I think he's okay with it.<br><br>10. I'm a bit confused about why people are saying we shouldn't be in a relationship. She's not related to me and she's a great person.<br><br>11. I don't think it's a problem that the daughter is close to her mom. I think it's a good thing. She's a caring person and she's always willing to help others. I don't think it's a bad thing that she's close to her mom.<br><br>12. I think it's just a cultural thing. I'm an Asian in a Western country and she's from that Western country. I'm from a collectivist culture while she's from an individualist culture. I admire close relationships between family and friends. I think it's a good thing. I don't think it's a bad thing.<br><br>13. I don't think the daughter and mom are being selfish. I think they're caring and they think about others. They're not selfish.<br><br>14. I think people are misunderstanding a lot of things. I think people are assuming things that aren't happening. I don't think there's any abuse, I don't think she's selfish.<br><br>​
