Can my Japanese Penpal become my Girlfriend?

Asked Jan 3, 2010, 10:49 PM — 94 Answers
Multiple threads merged

We've been snail mailing for 1. 5 years and we've gotten closer. We mail often and I feel she's really nice. Even though I haven't met her or talked to her. But I feel like I like her, I even told her.

But I don't know.. Even if she said yes, we live far away so it's kind of stupid right?

If some guy started talking to me on the bus or on the street, yes I would find that really creepy!
Try meeting women through your co-workers or through your friends, friends of family etc. Or I suppose you could try a dating site (although I do believe meeting in person is better). And when you talk to women forget your shy just be yourself!

I thought my current boyfriend was a creep at first. He was super shy. But mutual friends set us up and my friends pushed me to get to know him. We've been dating for over a year now. Sometimes friends are the best way to get to know other people.

If it is bordering on g/f b/f but is still a friendship, then why the need to tell her anything, or break up at all.

Be honest with her, and let her know that you're going to be on the computer less, and having a social life more. That would not damage a friendship.

If you are getting direct comments that she is interested in an exclusive relationship with you, then speak up, and tell her that won't happen.

But to lose a friend by guessing isn't being fair to her, or you.

You've had some problems with your impressions of women, judging from your last posts.

I just answered another question of yours earlier about the penpal, and I thought you were much younger than 30.

You have said before that you didn't have success with dating sites, apparently people don't like your picture.

Why not try that again. You seem to be able to put reasonable conversations together, and your penpal has lasted over 1 1/2 years. Perhaps communicating this way will see some actual face to face dates.

Maybe too it is time to take a good hard look at yourself. If by age 30 you haven't had a date, there is probably room for improvement somewhere. Have you talked to any of your male friends for advice?

This like your other posts tend to sound so desperate to me so let me repeat some previous advice to you. No matter what it takes get to be independent and stand on your own, as a 30 year old guy has no real business letting an Internet pen pal situation get out of hand.

Time to be truthful and realistic and tell this pen pal you need to tend to your real life and put some boundaries on this long distance friendship.

To let it go any further without the truth would not be fair or honest.

A lot of lesbians, and bisexual women go back to the supposed "human default sexuality" of being straight, mostly because it gives them more sexual satisfaction. The reason why women like men, isn't exactly a mystery, just ask the women, maybe it's because they are not women, and they are very cute! On top of that, there's the whole subject of reproduction, and the pieces fit.
It's possible for women to chemically create sperm, fertilize themselves, reproduce, and rule the world...I wonder why we're all still just sitting around

Being straight is more acceptable in society. They may like women but they don't want to be a misfit.

Talking to random people in public is a little creepy- not only that, but you're not about to hit it off with a girl on the bus, and be dating her the next day. Go out and socialize in smaller, more private settings- parties and gatherings. Be casual in your conversation- chat with girls you have just met, just like you would chat with guys you have just met...Ask them what their job is, what they do for fun. Don't try to be "impressive" or "win them over."

This is another one of your silly posts ....what a ridiculous thing to say.

And, since you don't have any experience with women (being 30, living at home and stalking Japanese girls), I gather you're suddenly the 'expert'?

Where is your evidence that most women are bisexual?
