It's not even cultural. My mom is very open minded. It's just that as a doctor who works in the ER, she sees a lot of things. And she also doesn't want to go pick me up from jail. I have fought this restrictions in the past, but I have this friend who was even charged just because she was at the wrong place in the wrong time. We are latin. You know the police here in latin America is well known to be corrupt and sometimes they just take people to jail to tell they are doing something against crime and vandalism. We live in a very unsafe city and in very difficult times.

And, again, I didn't tell him to ask my mom to let me go to that match. He was the one who said he would convince her. This happened about 3 months ago. When my mom was in surgery (almost 4 weeks ago) and he took me to breakfast, we talked about this and I explained to him that I didn't like him being so pedantic and that, in fact, I don't want my mom to be a part of our conversations. Everything seemed to be fine, that's why he started texting me the my-love line and why we went on our second official date.

I attended a german school here in my country, so my education eas kind of multicultural. I would ask him why he hasn't texted, if I knew he would respond, but I'm sure he won't. Some of my former boyfriends are german or american, so... I have absolutely no problem asking straight away. But this guy is the classic latin man, a little old-fashioned, bust just a little.

And I also don't want to ask because I did so in the past and men like him don't take it as a simple question, instead they feel pushed and controlled. And there's another reason why I don't want to ask: I want to see some interest from him too! I feel like I have put all my energy into this thing and, as one of my best friends told me, it seems like he's so happy knowing that everytime he was to hang out he can just call me and I'll be there. And I need to know he is willing to do a little more of an effort to get to know me. I believe we ALL need and deserve to know if someone is by our side because they want to or just because we are always chasing them. So... It's up to him now.
