I have been reading some books and they state that sog distance relationships can work. I have a problem though. I have fallen in love with my penpal. I do not see why it would not work. We are so much into each other it's almost as if she wants me to ask her out. Yet here is teh problem. I am a US citizen and she is a native of southern Japan. We are both lonely people and have never even had a date. I am 18 years old and I don' t have the money to travel to Japan or visa versa. It is absolutely killing me. I have never had these feelings before and I need to know what is the best way to approach this situation. I told her straight out that I had deap feelings for her and she did seem surprised, but know she is actually interested and I don't know what to do from here. Is it best to challenge the tides of time until we are old enough to meet in person. Like I said, we have never meet face to face but we have talked for so very long that she feels like a part of me that I think I would die without.
Please Help Someone!!!
