Dear Eric:

First, congratulations for having met her parents, and it being “quite okay”!

Second, I very much appreciate that you asked me if I want to hear about it before telling me about it. It tells me that you are aware of the itch and scratch-the-itch issue and you are considerate of me, thank you! Here is what I suggest: instead of listing all the possible mistakes you think you made,  tell me- in detail- why you think that the meeting was quite okay.

I will be away from the computer for the next 11 hours or so (it is late evening here) and will look at your thread in the morning.
