[quote=Anonymous]To make this brief, in highschool over 2o years ago, I fell head over heals for and change student.  He seemed to "pursue" me: asking for my number for a group project and spending every spare moment with me.  When I confided my feelings in him he said I was just inexperienced and "wanted to have sex with him."  I was 16, he was 17 and this really hurt and offended me. I told him for my own well-being I needed to distance myself from him.  This statement was met from crying (literally) and begging on his part.  He fell into a bit of a depression that was so concerning to his host mom that she begged me to come over.  In his favor, he did say one of the best things a guy has ever said to me: "You're not the type of girl one 'dates'; you're the yep of girl you marry."  Nice, but frustrating to a 16 year old (he was only a year older).

We became on friendly trms after that until he left.  I refused to be present (for better or worse) when he left.  He left one of his blogs personal items behind for me that he knew I admired, on my family's doorstep with a sweat note.  I've NEVER stopped thinking about this guy.  Not so much as lost love, but wondering what he's up to.  Well, a recent a Google search has finally led me to him.  I want to contact him as his American "friend" that just wants to see how he's doing.  Is that weird?  Or should I just let sleeping dogs lie?

To be clear, I'm not looking for some storybook romance, but his behavior back then was a bit odd and it would be nice to get more insight with the physical distance (he's still in his home country).  We were very close and shared everything sans any intimacy.  It's just baffled me how emotional he was when I wanted to distance myself after having unrequited feelings.  For the record, he spoke perfect English and had a ton of other friends as he was quite social.  It was a very special time in my life with a very special person.[/quote]
