I am in my early twenties, and if a man drove or flew a "considerable distance" solely to take me out to dinner, particularly if it were under the guise of simply being in town, I would be skeptical at best, and most likely extremely uncomfortable.<br /><br />While meeting her is certainly a good idea eventually, I advise you not to underestimate the value of phone conversations in the meantime. I find it perfectly reasonable (and, in fact, laudable) for you to request to get to know her better by proposing to speak with her once a week. In my short lifetime, many strong friendships (and even potential romantic relationships), have begun, deepened, and even completely fizzled (a <i>very</i> good thing, in the long run!) through the gift of phone conversations.<br /><br />Your friendship with her (and whatever it might develop into) are in my prayers.Claire Christinahttp://feminaprovita.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6905236167079601771.post-59701872614835037052010-11-17T00:30:38.915+00:002010-11-17T00:30:38.915+00:00A thought: women in their early 20s can be rather ...A thought: women in their early 20s can be rather innocent and sweet; a lot of them change (rather dramatically) in their late twenties. The naivete can be attractive to men (bad men, certainly, but also good men), and those men are often thrown a bit when women mature.<br /><br />I don't mean to male-bash, but I would like to point out that the earnest letter-writer may have (very real and valid) sentiments that won't stand the test of time, not because he is not mature, but because the object of his desire will change a lot over the next several years.theobromophilenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6905236167079601771.post-75863738578746719102010-11-17T00:25:29.415+00:002010-11-17T00:25:29.415+00:00An unambiguous dinner date speaks more than a thou...An unambiguous dinner date speaks more than a thousand emails ever, ever could in terms of getting things started, anyway.Jamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18076215213828545013noreply@blogger.com
