Can someone help me understand girl logic?

Question

So I'm meeting my girlfriends parents next weekend at her daughter's birthday party.. Except as a friend. She doesn't want them to know we're dating. However the following weekend she's taking me to their house for dinner as her boyfriend. Thoughts? Cause I'm confused.

I agree that it's odd only if the daughter knows as well. But if the daughter doesn't know you're the boyfriend, then she may not be ready to let her daughter know that she's dating someone

So she wants you to have that introduction with the parents without the daughter present. But if the daughter does know then I can't think of a good reason that makes complete sense.

At someone else I'd she might want to keep her daughter's birthday about her daughter and nothing else, but that doesn't make much logical sense

That could be her reasoning LOL, it's just stupid reasoning. It's not like a grandparents are going to be so preoccupied with getting to know the boyfriend that they won't give her daughter and attention.

A more likely reason I think would be if the relationship is new and she's bringing you around her daughter already, the parents may not be comfortable with that

They might still view it as her bringing random guys around her kid and how that's not good for her. Which is generally true that's not good for children

I don't even think Yoda could help you, there!! Girl logic is the mystery of the ages that will probably NEVER be solved or fully understood by any man, partly because it's ALWAYS in the state of flux and, what makes sense one minute is a complete puzzle the next!! JUST when you think you've got it all figured out, another aspect in it changes dramatically throwing everything you thought you knew about it right out the window!!

She might not want the daughter to know who she is dating until things are strongly established because she does not want her daughter to have you as a father figure until she is certain your in for the long haul. Like I know people who date over 8 people before they marry etc…

She wants to see how they like you before officially introducing you as her boyfriend

No, no one can help you understand girl logic because most women tend to make decisions about such things on the basis of emotion rather than logic, and emotion is not logical.
