<human>: Provide a brief overview of the text.

My situation:

Attending university in Japan, originally from America. I've lived in Japan for a little while now, but started university in April. I'm doing a private homestay with my aunt and uncle's best friends (Japanese, but perfectly fluent in English). They have no children. My homestay parents are honorary members of our family, and I get along with them very well, and respect them a lot. 

I've recently began dating a guy, who is super special to me. We get along like two peas in a pod. Our relationship is really good, and going at a good pace. I'm a little bit more... life-experienced than he is, but he's maturing. He's shown that he is working on bettering himself and I trust him. 

I let my host mother know about my bf when we first got together... but I didn't tell my host dad because I was worried that he would judge him. Us three had a serious talk session tonight and the subject turned to dating. My homestay dad said things with the premise of "You should only date completely independent guys. Anything else, is no good."

I am so touched by his concern. But I feel like its completely unfair, based on my life situation. I'm a student, the only people I know are also students who cannot afford to be independent.  Furthermore, this is Japan, where it is in the culture for people to live with their families for a long time. My boyfriend seems like everything my host father says is wrong for a boyfriend. Yet my boyfriend is caring, kind beyond belief, and makes me happy. 

I need to tell my host dad sooner or later. Because I come home later, (after class, bf and I study, go eat, hang out) my host dad worries about me and ask where I've been. I don't want to keep lying to him. But I'm scared that if my host dad meets my boyfriend, he'll judge him and not accept him. What do I do?
<bot>: In Japan in university, new relationship. Host father doesn't know. High expectations of my (hypothetical) boyfriend, who I know will not meet some of them. How can we get approval from my host father?
