Dating a lady in Indonesia

Greetings from Down Under (Australia)! :)

My question... as a foreigner, how can you spend a lot of time together in Indonesia when staying at her house is socially unacceptable?

This lady is divorced although her former husband has passed away. She lives in Jakarta in her family home (late parent's home) with her 2 teenage kids.

She informed me that for me to stay at her house is not socially acceptable.

To stay extended periods of time in a hotel is not an option and pretty useless to get to know your lady in her natural environment,

Any comments?

By the way, she is not Muslim (Protestant).

Excellent for the lady in reminding you customs are different from Western customs of shacking up and free sex. You can always rent Airbnb, walk around any neighborhoods and ask about rental per week or month. I was a single lady traveling through Indonesia did not have a problem of finding housing and although I did not speak the language, it was not a hindrance. You can always check hostels which you can have your own room and bath. Enjoy Indonesia it is a beautiful country and beautiful kind hearted people.

Sorry, your reply misses the point. And rather offensive to boot.
