Reading this thread kind of reminds me of when I was in high school and had a crush on one of our basketball cheerleaders. During my senior year, I finally asked her for a date and I thought we had a fairly good time. She seemed to enjoy herself and everything did go smoothly. This girl had it all.
After high school, she called me just before I was leaving for college. She asked me why I never asked for another date and I told her because she didn't really show any interest during the first date. She kind of laughed and told me that she was interested, but didn't think my parents would accept her because she was lower middle class. I immediately told her that my parents never judged anyone by their wealth or social standing.
I was leaving for college in a few weeks, but we dated once more and this time, I took her to my home to meet my mom and dad. My dad told me that she was a keeper. He really liked her. But, you know how it is when you aren't in the picture for awhile. People do tend to forget about you. I think that's what happened to us. We kind of went our separate ways.
