Thanks for jumping in.
Here goes. It was the summer of 1998 when I first saw this girl. She was beautiful in every way I could imagine and as an added bonus she was a lead singer in a local band. We've been talking and going out on dates off and on for a few months. We did the all nighters jsut chatting away about life. Even if she had nothing to say to me she'd call me late at night and stay on the line to listen to me sleeping. Unfortunately at the time I was already with someone, so our relationship never really went anywhere.
We lost contact for about 6 months and during that time she had gotten with some guy and they got married. I had broken up with my GF by that time. All hope was lost! I was depressed for months. I lost about 20lbs. My parents thought I was doing drugs. In my heart I always thought that as we both matured; we would finally come together when we were adults, but that dream quickly faded away with all my dreams. As always life goes on. I moved out of town shortly thereafter.
Just a few weeks ago I heard from my brother that she had gotten a divorce from her husband. I couldn't believe my ears.
Today I saw her again at my younger brothers graduation. She is still as beautiful as ever. We just looked at each other for about 10 seconds and all I could feel was happiness. All those feelings I had came rushing back and I just wanted to hold her in my arms and tell her everything that was going through my mind. I just wanted to tell her that I'd never want for us to be apart ever again.
The dilemma here is that I don't know how/when I should approach her with my feelings for her. I'm afraid that she would not be ready, but I also am afraid that because of our culture, her parents may force her to get married to somebody as soon as they can. This is because they want to save "face" for the family. This happens a lot in my culture. Its dumb yes, but its something that won't go away until that generation is gone.
I just don't want to lose her a second time.
OR am I just too obsessed over this girl?
