Oh ghall.
Well, I'm quite a bit older than she is, I've known her for almost 3 years now so we get on pretty well, but we've been separated by a pretty long distance for quite a while. However, she has family out in San Diego so last August I went down to meet her.
Thing is, she thought her parents would be a little weirded out by someone older coming down to say hey, so she kind of insinuated that I was gay. Which some people have thought about me before, so it wasn't so unbelievable. I wasn't sure what to do so I didn't CLAIM I was gay, and it didn't get brought up, but I didn't do anything to dissuade the notion either. I went home in January to visit friends and family, met up with her, same thing. And the same in March when she was out here for a cruise to Mexico—we hung out before she left for Mexico and when she came back, before she headed back east.
Anyway, we're an item now, and I'm moving back to the East Coast at the end of this week, and that's still the situation with her parents. I just know it'll be MORE awkward the longer I leave it, but I really want to avoid impacting her relationship with them negatively (especially since she's still financially dependent on them).
It's funny, but uncomfortable.

But she's worth it.
