missnerd Posted December 1, 2013 Posted December 1, 2013 Okay so I have this long distance friend in China. I live in South Carolina. We've been friends for almost a year. Originally we were just trying to do a language exchange but it grew into a real friendship. (by the way he's getting great at speaking English and i still struggle majorly with Chinese) We Skype, email, voice message, video chat, and regular chat almost every day. We talk about any and everything. When we first became friends we dated other people but still managed to stay close. It's been over four months since either of us have dated anyone. During this time we have grown even closer. We flirt now and I really like him more than anyone I've ever met or dated. I really think he likes me too. We've even discussed traveling together. Originally I wanted to go China for a summer vacation however he asked me to put a hold on my trip so that he could save up money so that he could travel with me and go to the US with me when I returned home. He has met my siblings through video chat and they all seem to like each other. We've made a lot of plans together. I really want to just confess to him that I like him straight to him but I can't. There's just a part of me that's scared that maybe I'm wrong. Maybe he really doesn't like me in the same way that I like him. I'm not sure what to do. I can really see us being happy together and for a long time. With him I don't see the distance as becoming a problem that would cause us any problems. Does anyone have any advice on what my next move should be?
justwhoiam Posted December 1, 2013 Posted December 1, 2013 I would wait for a move from him. If he has feelings for you, you'll know pretty soon. If he starts dating a new girl, you'll have the answer.
The Thinker Posted December 1, 2013 Posted December 1, 2013 I'm in a similar situation myself, but am also afraid to bring it up. It could be risky if he doesn't view you the same way. You're the best judge, but from what I just read I'd be completely shocked if he didn't feel the same way. If you think there's a realistic possibility of you two being together, you should tell him how you feel before it's too late.
xUnknown Posted December 2, 2013 Posted December 2, 2013 I would do what The Thinker says as well. I too am finding myself in a similar situation. I don't want to thread jack, but please take a look and give me some input if you would. I hope things work out for you two. I like to root for the underdog and I always see any sort of distance relationship that way. Stay positive!
