Well I have thought about doing this once or twice and both times passed but now I decided that I should proclaim to the world my happiness. Some of you may remember my asking advice about my college professor and how I was interested in her and about how I thought she was interested in me!
I was dead on. I waited (as I thought I should and some of you suggested) until class was over with for the year and there were no longer any obligations of student/teacher. So then I e-mailed her and laid out many of the feelings I had for her and told her what I thought about her (how amazing, intelligent, humorous, etc.). After 4 days of no response I started to get a little nervous so I sent her another e-mail reaffirming my initial thoughts but also taking an apologetic tone (because I thought she wasn't interested) However, to my total DELIGHT, she replied the same evening after my second e-mail. She told me that my first e-mail had brought tears to her eyes and that my words were the nicest anyone has ever said to her. We e-mailed for the rest of that week and then called each other and talked for about 4 hours before our first date the next day. Our first date was also very wonderful, she found out that I wasn't just some smart young man who appeared bored (sometimes) in her class but this charming, handsome, respectful and romantic man. We have since been on numerous dates and shared many, many wonderful minutes of our lives. Although is has only been just over 1 month I know in my heart that I will spend the rest of my life with this woman. When we are together it is more than friends, more than lovers, we are soulmates. The two of us were meant to be together on this earth and share our lives, have children together and make love with each other in the rain (if we want to!). Of course there are some differences in our cultural backgrounds but it is not anything that we cannot overcome or work out. If any of you are famliar with country music you might know this song which I played for her for the first time last week.
It is by Diamond Rio and it is called Meet in the Middle, and it is a metaphor for physically meeting in the middle of a road and meeting in the middle on issues dealing with love, life and McDonalds!
Anywhoo thanks again to those that offered their advice whether it was encouraging or not it all helps!
And to those of you still out there looking let mine and many others experience be encouraging to you.
Finally I leave you with this, in the end of the first e-mail I sent to my future (now she is) love I said that I had a 50-50 chance of her replying. Of course I would never have even had the 50-50 chance if I did not start typing that e-mail. So go for it, sometimes it is O.K. to think with your heart not your head. Your head will help you straighten things out later but if it is meant to be like it is for me you'll NEVER regret doing it!
