I havto get this out
For starters we met on a pen pal website almost 4 years ago. She is from Pusan S. Korea.
Whats grown from a casual correspondence for the first year, we got very close.
It has escalated since. We had talks of seeing each other quite frequently, until last year in November she had informed me of qualifying for the foreign exchanged program at PSU. She arrived in Chicago a day before new years eve. After 3 years of instant messaging, e-mails, and video msn we've finally met in person on new years eve.
From the really close friends that we were it was a shy day for us. We finally opened up to each other at the top of the John Hancock tower when the first set of fireworks went off. That next Sunday we had our first date, going around Chicago in the S and around Schaumberg taking a stop at woodfield and going through the burbs. Had to show her h-mart and picked up some things to make dinner for each other.
Brought her to my parents, both shy as ever to do so. Had told them we've known each other for years.
Our first kiss happened there, turning best friends into a full blown relationship in no time.
Quite vivid memories of our beginnings from there. Almost every weekend this year i was out in Chicago to see her, picking her up from IIT and road tripping back to Rockford.
Our first vacation together, a hell of a plan and test of how we will be under the stresses of budgeting and being with each other 24/7. We went to Vegas for 4 days staying at the Luxor. Our interests were purely exploration and the awe of such a lively city. We loved walking hand and hand up and down the strip exploring all the shops. Our first try at gambling was at Mandalay Bay. I gave her a dollar to try out the slots... Right away she wins $3 in her first pull, excitedly taking out the money to try another machine. Put in another dollar and won $5, amazing the hell out of me.
I hate slot machines, but for the little we saw it was exciting..... so i try it out.... ****en lost $5 in a matter of seconds. Mumbling my utter disgust for these machines she laughed and we moved on to black jack. Good my sweet spot! ended up with $236 and left to eat at a nice restaurant.
From our times at Vegas, we would love to go back. We left on Tuesday night via greyhound (god never ****** do that) to LA. Having no sleep in those uncomfortable ass seats with the constant smell of ass feet and armpits, we arrived at LA.... 10 miles away from our hotel that's on Hollywood blvd.. yes yes banana bungalow right next to a Thai restaurant there was our living quarters for the remainder of our trip. I also remember seeing a parked RIO CR a block away from where we stayed, both of us missing being in my S wherever we go.. Needless to say it wasn't as bad as we thought. I couldn't live in Cali though. with all the locals constantly saying "god you fkng tourist" "get the FK out of my way tourists" and alot of "hey you! come with us to see the stars houses" blah blah blah. Short tempered and and twitching with anger, slipping from my respectfulness to my GF, i let it out on some people.
Well, Korea town was great! Went to Ripley's and the wax museum, was good times with her. She kept prodding at me to go to Universal Studios being that i've never been to a theme park and any form of ride. Was awesome! We kept riding the mummy together. I remember laughing the whole time listening to her screaming her head off. What a surprise when it was about over she grabbed my face and kissed me like we've been away from each other for a month.
A lot more happened during our trip though.
We spent our last night at the LA airport from 11pm until our flight at 6am back to O'Hare.. We tried to sleep on a window sill, i couldn't, but just held her while she did.
Our trip made us closer then ever, and also miss our lifestyle in Chicago. Missing Chicago even.
After her semester at IIT, she was denied another semester for fall. Then we worried for the few days and weeks we would have. She had an idea to go out of country for a few days and come back as a visitor after her school visa expires.
But to make bad news worse when she went to Canada a couple weeks ago, she had forgotten to bring her other passport with the visa in it.. I remember receiving her call, she was crying so hard. The a-hole immigration agent threatened her of being arrested and told her to return to Korea in her grace period time. Leaving us with a week together... She was too scared to seek other options to stay and refused my help in pure fear of not being able to return back to America.
Its hard on me... Its hard on her... We had each other for soo long.. I know i wasn't an emotional person before meeting her.. in fact i was more cold hearted and a lonely person getting angry when the holidays came.. To sharing my feelings.. learning to live life with her.. learning about my feelings together.. sharing everything, loving.... Saying goodbye at the security gate was the hardest thing for us... walking away and looking back was even harder... i balled my ass off from there.. all the way through the airport to the parking garage... leaning against a post.. physically hurt.... i can honestly say i've never felt like this before.. I was questioning why im crying soo hard.. hurting soo much... i couldn't stop... even now when im alone.. it all comes back.. It really feels like half of me is gone.. I dont know what to do now... We know this isn't the last time we will be together... Im putting myself through college so i can begin the first steps to securing a better future for us.. she will graduate with a bachelors in a year or so... and wants to return for her masters.. We are planning a trip for me to come to Korea in December for 2 weeks as well.
I'm sorry for such a long thread.. She is my best friend, my first girlfriend, my first relationship.. I feel like i had to let it out somewhere.

But if you think for one second I clicked on that youtube video with the song that summarizes your feelings... you would be mistaken.
In all seriousness, I mean this in the most sincere way possible: Regardless of the outcome of this situation, interact with more people in real life. That's all. Best of luck.

Dude, no offense, but that's pretty offensive.
Guy spills his guts, and you just go posting titties to make him feel better?
Come on.
Dude, at least read the guy's story, okay?
Lets try to be more sensitive.
Clearly, he likes Asians.
