I talked on the phone with an ex girlfriend of mine today.. it was the most recent one, and I think I am really getting over her. Talking on the phone didn't stir up any feelings like it used to. I feel really blessed by that. We talked for like an hour, and would have talked longer, but I had to work on my presentation. She is dating someone else.
I also had a really good talk with my Korean teacher the other day, or, I thought it was a good talk. It was like normal, but for a minute or two it got real heavy. I asked her what she thought about the relationships between guys and girls here, because I imagine it must be stressful for some of those girls to be asked out so often (not so stressful for others, I guess.) She seemed to feel strongly on the subject. She talked about how some guys, LeTourneau guys, will go to Korea to just to find a girlfriend, and about how some of her friends have been hurt by guys who go there and right away get a girlfriend, only to break up right before they leave. It's really disgusting that that kind of thing happens. She told me that she believed that I was not like that, and neither was her boyfriend, or one or two other people who she knew --and she used the word "believe" a couple times. The way she said it makes me think that she is still very cautious. Like someone looking at a shell, saying "I believe that there is something good in there".
I think I am going to be harder on the guys who pick on me, saying that I only want to go for the girls.. because that is a more serious accusation than it seems, and it really isn't true. I mean, I guess getting a girlfriend while I am there would be a good thing, but I really am not looking right now, and I don't plan on making that a priority while I am there.
"I don't expect this to change anything.. It is just a dream you're having. We are here and then gone, together and then apart."
