Dear Ingrid:

Welcome back! If I understand correctly, you live in a small town in Romania, speak three languages, English is your third (impressive how well your English is, it being your 3rd language). Cola immigrated from Taiwan and works in his family restaurant. The two of you have a language and a cultural barrier, speak a mixture or English and Romanian.

He flirted with you, told you “very sweet things”, made sure you got home safely, didn’t like you wearing revealing clothes, and, “he looked in my eyes, I knew he could see right through me. But he never told me anything”-

– so the two of you didn’t have deep conversations, did you? Your love-feelings for him are based on imagining what was in his eyes when he looked at you?

(I will soon be away from the computer for the next 13 hours or so).

Dear Ingrid:

Well, reads to me that all you had with him was some sharing: he told you about his struggles, you told him about yours, some flirting, no dates, no love relationship, long time of zero contact. It is an acquaintance, a friendly acquaintance at times, someone you know a bit, talked with a bit, a bit of flirtation.

I would say that “Way too in love” (the title of your thread) doesn’t fit the nature of what this acquaintance has been. What do you think?
