Had this thing weighing on my mind for a month or two now and I thought I would share it in the hopes of getting it solved. I'll try and keep it short..
I'm in grade 12 and in september of 2004 my school had Japanese students over for a two week period. I hosted two girls at my house and another girl at my school who I know hosted two girls also. One of these girls who stayed with my friend really started to get friendly with me after about one week. She would talk to me, give me warm smiles and touch me softly on the arm, etc, stuff that I would normally interpret as something that means she's interested.
We've been emailing each other several times a week since then. She's given me presents and send me mail with pictures of her and a birthday card for me when I turned 18. Two weeks from now I'm leaving for Japan where I'll be going to her school for 3 months. She told me she has a boyfriend but wants to do stuff with me when I'm over there.
I know this post sounds quite dumb but I'm caught on what I should do. Up to when she told me she had a boyfriend I considered her as a dating option. I was quite interested in her and very attracted. But since she told me about the other guy I've rethought how I should think of her (as in available or unavailable).
I don't want to steal her from her boyfriend or anything because for all I know he might be a really nice guy that I turn out liking. So did I misinterpret her in some way? Any advice is welcomed here.
