The clock is ticking

It had been a week, but last night, I finally talked to my friend. I want to say girl friend, but I don't want to misconstrue any false ideas about our relationship. We both agreed that we're going to take it one step at a time and whatever happens, happens. The next step is for her to feel out her folks and get a response as to whether or not they'll be accepting of me. With any luck, they'll not give it a second thought and have no objections to us seeing each other. I know I'm being a bit optimistic with all of this, but maybe, just maybe, they'll understand that I have strong feelings for her and I don't intend to just walk away without stating my case. She's a beautiful, vibrant and funny woman and I can't tell myself to cut and run, no matter what anybody says. I truly believe that we would be a great couple.

She's going to be having dinner with her parents tomorrow night and she said that she would let me know how things turn out afterwards. I'm keeping all of my fingers crossed.
