I have no idea what to do... could you please help?

Question

I made a friend at summer camp like 2 or 3 years ago and we haven't seen each other since but we email each other almost everyday. in her last message she told me she loves me. we live about 2 hours away from each other and we'd have no rides to see each other with for like two weeks... I wanna see her again too, A LOT.

I'm still waiting for a reply from her. and trust me. it couldn't feel longer. we used to have a joke about us loving each other so I'm half expecting this to be a joke. but something tells me its the real thing...

what should i do?

Answer 1

If you only live two hours away from each other, it would be simple to set up a day-date. Find a place halfway in between and go hiking or swimming or whatnot, something that interests both of you. That way neither of you would feel that they had to travel farther or put more out to make the date. Then just play it by ear. If you've been emailing, you probably know each other fairly well. Having to sit down and write to each other instead of just hanging out at the mall or the movies makes you know each other better, in my opinion. And don't panic or try to force it. What will be, will be. Just have fun with it, be her friend, and if it naturally goes further than friendship, then let it without worrying or fretting over it.
