Does my girlfriend’s mum suspect we’re dating, or am I overthinking it?

My girlfriend (20F) and I (20F) have been together for over two years, but her parents still know me as her close friend. Her mum knows she's queer, just not that we're dating.

Here's what's happened:

In early 2025, my girlfriend told me, “My mum really loves you.”
At graduation, her mum seemed particularly interested in me.
She used to regularly heart-react to my Facebook posts and stories.
After I posted a rainbow-heart story, I noticed she wasn't reacting as much anymore.
Last year she wished me happy birthday publicly, but this year she passed her wishes through my girlfriend and wrote “my dear friend” in my birthday card.
My girlfriend and I are practically inseparable. We've met up three times in the past two weeks.
Recently, when her mum realised we'd met up again, she gave an awkward little giggle before hanging up the phone.
Even my family thinks she might have suspected something for a while!
To be fair, she's also been kind to me and recently thanked my mum for looking after her daughter.

So, what's your guess? Does she suspect we're actually girlfriends, or am I reading too much into it?

LOL, everyone knows. Most are just keeping to themselves.

They must know something they’re not dumb the parents they just don’t wanna talk about it because You’re not introduced

I thought she has known you for years. But anyway, the mother’s not stupid if her daughter is Gay and she knows that then you’re coming around. Of course she’s gonna think something. Everybody always says this is my friend, but there’s always something behind the scenes In many cases. I pretty much believe that the parents know that you’re the sidekick they may not know how long you’re gonna last but they know that you’re a sidekick if you know what I mean.

actually she has known me for 3 years but we only met 3 times

OK. Well, I’m pretty sure she knows that her daughter is dating you and probably the husband knows to that’s pretty easy to figure out.

I think she knows and is ok with it but doesn't want to say so just in case she's wrong.

Who gives a shit. Just don’t be a bad person and a bad girlfriend and you’ll be fine

Does it matter? Why hide it?

[Kelseyy-999]

because she is scared of telling her father because he is traditional and is scared of loosing our relationship
