Assalaamu `alaykum waRahmatullahi Wabarakatoh
You have acted appropriately by making a proposal. Now it is up to the girl’s side to decide. If the girl is meant for you, it will be. Let the family conduct their investigation about you and decide. You should prepare yourself for any eventuality. The outcome is taqdeer.
And Allah knows best
