Thank you for response Anita:

1) What I mean is that we shared affection and attraction for one another. For 3-4 years we met during the summer. She invited me to her Prom in 2014 and we went together. Her friends all knew about me and her best friend told me “She can’t stop talking about you”

We were effectively “lovers”, but didn’t get to the relationship stage. We went out together a few times, but since we didn’t live in the same country, these times were far and few between.

2) What hurt me the most was the geographical distance. We didn’t see eachother often at all (usually during the summer for a couple of weeks). Another thing was not knowing where I stood with her, and what she wanted us to be.

I was frustrated. Not towards her, but because of our situation. Effectively, I gave up.
