So around the middle of March I met this girl through mixi which is basically the Japanese Facebook. We talked back and forth for a while online and through text messages and phone calls. I knew she liked me so we agreed to go out. I met her a few times and it was fun. But not even a month later her uncle died. During this time her family gathered up and kept asking her about when she was going to get married. Then she got sick and had to go to the hospital, where her parents again asked her about marriage.
30 is a big age for Japanese women. They are supposed to be married by then. Not sure why but that's just how it is, and she was a few months from 30. The questioning apparently got to her and she was embarrassed by the fact she couldn't tell her parents about me because we weren't going to get married since I will be leaving to the US in the future, so she ended the relationship. I actually knew she was going to do this eventually, but I didn't know it would be so soon. But that's ok, because now I still have time to find and develop something substantial.
I'm tired of being single...
