Without realizing it, it happened. We have been in the same class for a semester, and we would meet by coincidence on campus all the time. At the time I had a girlfriend that I was unhappy with though. We broke up. I started talking with the new girl more, but wasn't getting any special vibes. I knew she had to go back to her home country soon anyway.
I went to her goodbye party and I took her to disneyland the next day. We held hands and had a great time. I took her to a beach and we layed down on a blanket on the sand, holding eachother, in silence for a long time. We both said that we wish we had found eachother earlier.
When I took her back home I hugged her and told her how much I liked her. I told her I wish I realized it sooner, I wish we had met earlier or had more time. She said, "I love you" and we kissed once and hugged again, she then ran to the door with tears in her eyes.
The next day I looked in the book she gave me and there was a note saying how she should have known me earlier and how much she will miss me.
She is gone now, back to her home country. Dammit.

:((
What are you waiting for? Move to her!
I'll be going in about eight months, but who knows what will happen in between that time?

Nobody knows, but if you don´t do something NOTHING will EVER happen.
I agree. I'll be working my ass off and taking a trip out to visit her asap.
The question is why are you sitting on your ass relationship-wise until you visit? If you have her address, send her a letter! A postcard even!
Why hasn't anyone said anything about emailing?! Or IMing through MSN or something?!
Already emailed her a subtle letter about my feelings. (no response yet, but she is probably jetlagged and sleeping) I asked for her address so we can send letters as well. Haven't asked if she has IM or anything like that... but good idea.
Email and IM is good, but I think handwritten letters are somehow more intimate.

Not only that, but writing letters can be hugely time consuming. I have about six people I keep meaning to write to, but never do, because work has been such that lately I just get home and go to bed x.x
not if your handwriting sucks. then it's just a pain.
>>14
The pen you use makes a huge difference many times. Also, handwriting can be improved with effort.
... No response from the Email yet, BTW
>>11
Or just very old and awkward...
>>15 Are you sure the email address you got is the one she uses for emailing purposes? Cos some people have multiple accounts for specific purposes each for eg email, IM, etc
She has responded and we correspond daily. Nothing romantic though, unfortunately. I think she kind of figured that it would be impossible, so she isn't going to hurt herself by believing that we are anything more than friends.
Despite being a romantic, I too know that these types of distance relationships are nearly impossible. So I'm going to accept that her friendship is the most important thing to me.
I did find her blog, which is entirely in Japanese, and I read it. I found out that she really respected me and all her past mentions of me were very good. Damn, why didn't I realize sooner!?
>>18
douche
but then again, you can hold on to the hope that things will turn all nice when you visit her during the summer, right?
ps. how old are you?
pps. how old is she?
Keep the correspondence going. If in 8 months when you visit she's still single, and if the two of you feel a spark again, then... who knows?
sniff thats so sad, man, MAIL, EMAIL, INSTANT MESSAGE, PHONE, BOTTLE WITH A NOTE INSIDE FLOATED OUT TO SEA, DOVE CARRYING A NOTE ON ITS LEG, MORSE CODE! just, keep it going =)
I'm buying a ticket to Japan. I found one for cheap and I'll be leaving towards the end of January and coming back before classes start. Let's make something happen or at least get some answers!
One of the rules of life is "you can always make more money."
This January? Way to grab the bull by the horns, 1!
(∩ﾟДﾟ)∩ GJ!
woo, I am one crazy bastard... parents are not going to like this much. I figure I'll delay telling them until I'm just about ready to go.
Better start saving money, it's fucking expensive over here. Or do you plan to just move in with the girl?
