I want to ask this one very nice girl i've come to know through occasional exchanges on social media about her little photo diary to become a ''penpal'' of sorts, and maintain a regular correspondence with her. I wouldn't worry about it as much if i wasn't thinking about her so often. Her sweet sincere attitude coupled with a pretty lucid outlook on how to navigate her environment lodged her into my brain, and as much as i have tried to stop, I just can't help but be very curious about her life. I rarely ever get this sort of adolescent fixation these days, especially not with people online, but I guess I let my guard down this time. I'm very glad, sometimes grateful, to get rejected directly irl, it can be a very appeasing experience, but with this distance you're just kept in the dark. I don't want to be the creepo bursting out of nowhere with a strange request, but I don't know what else to do at this point. I truly feel like I can trust her with my writings, and feel like I can learn something from her way of seeing things.
I did try this before with a former high school classmate. She seemed enthusiastic at first, since we already were used to writing very lengthy detailed texts to each other, and explicitly pointed out how much we enjoyed reading them. But at some point her professional obligations got in the way, and she immigrated somewhere else. The last inquiry I sent her a while ago still hasn't received a reply. It's a bummer, given that I enjoyed her acerbic wit and grounded perspective of a world that was very different than mine, but I accepted it without making any big waves about it. I'm not sure if I'll feel the same with this one. It's probably not going to have any direct repurcussions on my day to day life, but it would damn sure suck to be perceived badly by someone as (seemingly) nice as her. It's quite embarrassing. Overthinking this much doesn't do it any favors.
