If you read the old post I got rid of it since I ended up not going on Sunday after all :(.
I'm going today or tomorrow to the mosque and to meet his parents. I'm justifiably terrified. Sis is kind enough to come get me at my home and walk me over which makes me feel better about my first time in hijab. I can't wait to finally experience some of the things I have studied for so long. You can only learn so much from books and lectures on YouTube.
I feel I need to explain the sitch with the parents since I have come to understand it rather confuses people. I'm not going in as a "girlfriend" (I hate that term anyway) I'm going in as his friend. This does take A LOT of pressure off of me since they will get to know me for me and not critique me as the future wife of their son. Also, muslim men don't have girlfriends lol. The parents are more than happy to help me learn and no I don't think they are clueless but they are trusting their son. I do look forward to meeting them. They both seem quite kind.
So we shall see how it goes. I'm hoping I don't embarrass them in any way. Insha'Allah it will be ok.
I'll let you all know what happens. Wish me luck!
Salaam
