Hey Brandon:

Well I hope you don't mind that I post this up here. Anyway, regarding your situation, I think since you says that she probably knows you like her already from how you react, there isn't much difference whether you tell her or not, cuz she already knows. So you might as well tell her, before she goes overseas and before you lose the chance of expressing yourself to someone you like. Maybe what you might be afraid of is that even if you tell her, she's going to go overseas and you're afraid things are not going to work out? Well hey, not everything works out for a person all the time. At least when you tell her, you sorta lift a burden in your heart (ie. the feelings you have for her) and you won't regret not telling her. I don't know about you but I would if I were in your situation. I'd rather tell that person that I like her even though she might not like me back or even though I predict that it won't work out well. If you want to love, you must dare to love.

One thing you might consider thinking about is the long distance relationship you both will have if you both get into a relationship. Distance can be your friend sometimes, and distance can also be your enemy. Insecurities might arise, etc etc, but that's what you have to deal with if you are truely committed into the relationship. I always tell people, never to get into relationships if you cannot imagine yourself living with the other person for your entire life, even if it means a few thousand miles apart. Basically, if you can't commit, don't get into it, or its just a waste of feelings, emotions, and a cause for heartbreaks.

Well, you have nothing to lose here, and something to gain. If you don't tell her, you lose. If you tell her, at least there might be a chance that you gain something, but then keep in mind a chance that you might lose too. Still, if you don't try, you'll never know. So just let her know. It's better that she hears it directly from you, instead of you hinting at her.

Well BRANDON, I wish you all the best. Hey if you need anything, or someone to talk to, my contacts are at the left menu. :) Or you can rant on the board on the right.


A bell is not a bell
until someone rings it,
a song is not a song
until someone sings it.

Love wasn't put
in the heart to stay,
for love isn't love
'til you give it away.
