Meantime, Cory....
Well, yes. I'm still in love with her. And she with me. Unfortunately, there's the little matter of 10, 000 miles between us.

We still want to be together, and she says she wants me. But she also says she needs him. And I find it hard to condemn her for that. I can offer her 1 month together between now and March 2005. We could have more, but one of us would have to drop out of school and move halfway around the world to be with someone who we've spent a total of 1 week with. It's not realistic or fair to do that.

So. We've managed to come to an agreement. She's definitely coming out here in March. But because she's currently in a relationship, we're assuming that she's just coming for a holiday, and we'll spend time together as friends. If anything more is possible, then it will happen then. But this way is probably for the best - it frees me. I probably couldn't have gone and dated anyone else while there was still a chance with her - now we see things as being in the future, not the present.

Tough though. She cried at the end of our conversation.

But if it's worth it, it will happen eventually. Today I remembered Matt, who managed to have a long-term relationship with someone he met for about a week while she was on holiday, and who he caught up with maybe 18 months later. So, this sort of thing has worked before. Let's hope so.
