I found a pretty international student and have had a couple of dates with her. This is likely to get serious and she is leaving to go back to Asia in 1 1/2 years. We like each other and we like each other's company, but it could be a bad idea to date someone with no chance of a permanent future. On the other hand, she could have a boring time in Canada, or a wonderful romance with a wonderful man to remember. 'Tis better to have loved and lost??? Hurts like crazy though... :confused:

Is it dumb to start something that could lead to so much heartache? I'm considering backing off to the 'friends demarkation line', but she is so cute I don't wanna! She's yummy!

This is a good dilemma to have. Life is wonderful!
 
Love and lost???
You still have the opertunity to be with her for another 18months right?
A whole heak of a lot can happen in 18months!
You could break up, or get married.
She might wanna stay here in Canada, or both of you might go to Asia.
Give the fling a whirl..only God knows what could be in store for the two of you.
 
Philthy When your much older or on your deathbed you will regret the things you havent done in life much more than the things you have !

have a good futre, live it large!

Live for today...don't fail to plan for tomorrow, but live for today.

Spiral is dead on...
 
If I were you I'd go for it!!!! If things work out, a lot of things could change in a hurry.
 
Go for it!!!! Just because a relationship may not be as long as we would like it behooves us to follow the relationship simply for the joy of getting to know someone we like, perhaps even love.:D
 
The older I get, I realise that it is the things I didnt do that I most regret-especially when it comes to relationships. Do what you feel is right, and leave the thinking till later.
 
difficult to judge from over the ocean - but your thought prove the responsibility you feel for her, I do not think it is just the fear of a "broken heart".
I`d say if you can think of a common future in Canada or Asia - go for it. One and a half years is a long time, a lot of things can happen, maybe she will not go back to Asia, maybe you will go with her (who knows) or the relation could end before the time is over, maybe you will need all the time to "conquer" her.
Go slow, build a strong basis and you may later find it was the best thing that could ever happen to you.

My best wishes
Andreas
 
Hey Phil?

You notice a concensus here yet?

There is no predicting your life course, no matter how much you agonize over it. Be honorable, but accept the joys that come your way; you can never live these days again.

My congratulations. The falling-in-love phenomenum is the most astonishing feeling a human being can experience. It can't be forced, it can't be synthesized, and it intoxicates like no drug ever created.

Be safe, wise and happy.
 
Phil,

I had very much the same happen to me many years ago while I was in the Army stationed in Germany. I went for it and even though it did not last beyond my tour it is something I have never regreted. To this day I believe that experience has had a positive influence on my life. Granted, it wasn't without a lot of heartache when I came back to the states but it was worth well more than every moment of grief I had afterward.
 
Once more, HI proves to be a full-service forum.

As UB always said;

"What has this to do with Khukuris? Everything!"
