I met him in the last days of summer. He was staying over my home for a what I had assumed would be a few days with his friends. I felt something for him though. I felt like it was a real connection. We talked for hours on end and enjoyed every minute of it. Little by little his friends left back for their country and yet he stayed. He was sweet and kind to my family. And he was a real decent guy to me. But I knew he had to leave soon. I didn't know what exactly I felt for him and I am still not sure. But everyone told me he cared, possibly had fallen for me. Since I had so little experience in these matters I freaked out. I didn't want him to go but I didn't want him to stay. How was it that he could even like me? I knew he would realize that he was wasting his time with me. Plus it had only been three weeks of knowing one another. I really didn't know him and he didn't know me. Plus I would never see him again. I didn't want to get attached. And so he left but he wrote letters and messages for me. And now I still question whether I did the right thing by not letting him confess and I not giving him a chance.

You will never know unless you let him know how you feel. Does he live in a different country? Is they any way he will or could return? I would write him a letter and tell him how you feel.
You will never know unless you let him know how you feel. You will always ask yourself "what if?" Good luck.

You should have let him confess his feelings. If know cross-country romance is hard to keep, but since you to had the feelings it was worth giving it a try...

Let him know you like him, and see what he replies.

I'm not sure if you did the right thing. No one can answer that, except for yourself. If you want, get in contact with him again, and think about it this way. You really have nothing you lose! Don't live with regret in your heart, stay strong, and you'll have no regrets. Good luck, and tell me how things turned out.

You should have let him confess, but if he's meant for you he will come back around.

Don't even think about this, it's not worth it. The ship has sailed. Move along.

I leave you with some sage-worthy advice I read on askmen.com:
"You will never regret the times when you made a fool of yourself, but you will regret the times you never even tried."

It seems to be a situation where the time to do something has passed. Let it go, don't make the same mistake next time.

You had a crush, and at the time you did what you did. No biggie, since now he writes you.
