could also be “that remains to be seen,” perhaps some variation of “that is yet to be seen/proven/determined/verified.” however, in some cases, depending on the flow of the story, the phrasing might actually be correct – if, in fact, a questioning is to follow. well, ta then.

@ tigerlily999_6: Sorry, but if you’re expecting a cheesy love story, you’ll be disappointed. I’m just being honest. There’s enough heart throb in this world, no need for my story to fall into the same pit.
Yes, “seen” (suggested by my fellow visitor pielovespie) is the most neutral, as well as having the additional advantage of being concise. I wish I had thought of it myself, so I could not agree more with your choice.
Glad to be of help…
And again many THANKS for the wonderful stories and beautify + funny drawing style!

Unusual English expression: “That remains to be questioned”.
The proper (or “classic”) English form might be “That remains to be proven” or (depending on context) “That remains to be determined”.

@ owh + pielovspie: Thank you for your help! Hard for me to choose which word would fit in best… so I took “seen” as the most neutral one.
