Boston girl, take ur time and decide.but don't keep him waiting for too long. it is okay that u did not answer then and there. all of you were overwhelmed by the circumstances. if u love him and it seems you do, go for it. parents will understand in days to come.decide with a clear head (not easy,iam sure)don't let your emotion get the best of you. iam sure u have had plenty of suggestions here. so i will stop. best of luck in days to come.
