Parents aren’t for validation purposes. They’re a covering. It’s nothing like bringing a man around another man you trust. He will tell you quick…”he ain’t it.” People are always saying how you did you miss the red flags. Sometimes you need another set of eyes to see what you don’t see. She was obviously super intentional and that’s okay and it’s okay if you weren’t comfortable with that yet.

I think the same

You are right, we can’t take next step this fast at least few months to know each other then we could say if this could be it or not, then get to the next step .

Showing you to her parents doesn't validate you getting married to her though

I don’t think we realize how much we have been indoctrinated on this concept of “going it alone equals success” and how much it permeates into our everyday attitude and perspective on life. Exposure to family very early in a dating process is normal in some cultures and not seen as “red flag”. I met my husband’s family after probably 5 dates and him mine after 4. It’s been 27 years and we haven’t looked back. Finally, You can meet their parents and still not proceed with the relationship.

Parents are a good judge of character. The fact that you saw a negative in this and drew this wild conclusion exposed your red flag. She was able to quickly discover your character without wasting years or marry someone who’s thinks like this.

Totally agree

Idk whats with some of these comments, people are projecting their situations onto you. She definitely seemed desperate and wanting to bring someone home for the holidays. After 1 date, you are still a stranger. You wouldnt even have had valuable conversation with her parents because you don't know her well enough.

I agree 💯. Not after the first date.

Maybe she wanted her parents especially Dad to meet you to determine the real you and not the representative that she met
