Don't feel dumb!

A letter is nice, after all that is how you've been communicating lots anyhow. I love to receive letters!!!!

It is just too bad she hasn't responded at all.

Now, would i keep in touch? Yes, I would. However, unless he stated that he was interested in something more serious and thinking along those lines, then I would assume he was okay with everything. Once he asked, I think I would be compelled to be straightforward with him (as much as I could be, taking into account how in touch with my own feelings I may or may not even be).

Exhuberance on seeing him??? That depends. I could only behave honestly and anyone I don't see for a long time I may feel happy to see! However, if she is a busy girl and makes time to see you on her way into town...that says something, I would think (unless maybe you live in a rinky dink little town and maybe there isn't much else going on there?).

I did have another friend (not the one I mentioned above) who I met while in another city and we had a similar relationshp and I still feel very dearly about him, but he lives across teh country from me. We kept in touch and saw each other very rarely. I got the feeling that he would've been willing to move for me, but I wasn't interested in him making that kind of move. Now, if there was a good career move in it for him....then I definitely would've be interested in dating him if he moved here, and that is pretty much what I told him. We work in the same industry and I am well aware that opportunities in this business in his area of speciality are pretty slim in this part of the country. He never did land that kind of job. Now he is married and has a baby on the way. He is a wonderful man and his wife is very lucky. We will always be friends. To me, being supported by friends, family, career pursuits are important and I would never feel as though it was sensible for someone to just pack up and move x-country for me and me alone, without any grounding in a relationship. Course 6-7 hours isn't quite x-country and it is feasible that you guys could see each other more frequently.

But the fact remains that you don't.

She may be too young......???

In either case, if it is twisting you up, give her a ring and ask if she got the letter and if she'd had time to figure out a response yet???
