A much-delayed update...
After a lot of thinking and talking things over with her, we're still very good friends but no longer officially dating. We're both happier like this, as well (if you take her word, that is
) as there's no possible question of my intentions. At this point, it's better all around to just remain good friends. BOY am I glad it worked out, or I would've lost the very best shooting partner I have.
