SInk or Swim
I had a huge sigh of relief today after the longish talk that my parentt and I had this afternoon. I am very glad that I decided to tell them after all. I wasn't expecting for it to be so painless, but perhaps the pain won't set in until later on.
They both explained to me that they were not going to put any restrictions on dating. It is purely my choice, though I am expected to make rational choices. Of course, they prefer me to date those within my race, but dating interracially isn't an issue either. I do have to abide by reasonable rules if I have a potential suitor; He must meet my parents on two occasions- I think it is fair enough.
I plan on introducing Kevin to my parents. I do have second thoughts though. What if I go through all of this hassel and a relationship doesn't blossom. I would like for one to flourish. I should not get my hopes up, because I would ultimately be setting myself up for huge disappointment.
I guess I have been pretty patient. Me being a female, I have been eager to find someone to start dating, but I am not going to force it. I really do hope that something comes of this.
