Let's have some Wholesome up in here

But only if you want to as well. I don't want to drone on and on

Our friendly community is happy to listen

So basically about a year ago, my friend talked me into uploading my book onto Wattpad. After about a week or two, I got my first comment from a user named Astraea01. Then they messaged me directly. We got to talking and I learned that she was a Colombian girl named Valeria. From then until about February we talked literally everyday about various things like school and friends and life experiences and the like. In February she accidentally deleated the app and we finally got back to talking around early March.

That's sweet!

It was around then that I started to feel something for her. I'd had a crush on her for a while but it was around here that it really turned into something else. Whenever I talked to her, I could feel myself smiling like an idiot. It was wonderful. Over the coming months, these feelings kept growing stronger and stronger as I helped her out with a few things like when she asked me what to do about a guy that she didn't like who asked her out on a date (turns out she slugged the guy in the main hallway of her school).

After about a week of not talking (she understandably got grounded for slugging the guy), we talked for a few days before she sent me a message telling about how her dad had noticed her texting me and had forbade her from talking to me anymore. I felt like shit for about a week until I remembered that she had mentioned that she graduated high school in November. So I waited. I don't let go easy.

I figured that when she graduates she'll be out on her own. It's not a guarantee, but it's something. I also chose to wait until the 19th of January to finally message her because that's when she made that first comment.

Did you find out why she was forbidden to talk to you?

He was scared of me being someone I'm not. It's understandable: I'd be scared too if my daughter was talking to a boy in a language I didn't know.

Heartfelt story. Do you think it's a crush phase where you want to avoid a relationship? How long have you known her? If you're great friends, it would be good to try and contact her again. If you hardly know her, then you'll survive if you never see her again. I'm not that great with words over the internet, but whatever happens, you will come through stronger than before. God says I love you.

What @sublimegamer said is good advice but if she's afraid you're someone you're not (I've been in the same situation) then try and facetime or skype call so you can actually see each other face to face. I would try to talk to her again if you feel like you had something that could be more, the worse that's going to happen is she won't reply. Also thanks for sharing grim

We both know what each other look like so I guess that's a plus. And I'd say that we're pretty good friends. Also I don't want to avoid a relationship.

Besides, about a month after she sent that last message I sent her a message of my own telling her how I felt.

So she hasn't replied?

Nope. Maybe her dad deleated my number (I forgot to mention that we traded phone numbers so we could communicate more easily). But I do know that she's still active on Wattpad so I'm gonna send her 2 messages, one on Wattpad and another on WhatsApp, which was the app we talked to each other on.

Good plan, it most likely is her Dad. I understand his concerns but maybe if you somehow talked to him directly you could diminish any fears he had of her talking to you

I dont think he speaks English and Valeria may only be able to type it

But then again I don't know

Give it a go, see what you can do. You have some good ideas right now so see what happens with those first

I will.
