So, last week I had a couple options: I could go up to Seoul and see Sunny again, or I could stay down here and wait a week before I saw her. I opted to let the "I'm really lonely in a foreign country" side of me decide what to do, so up to Seoul I went.
I was really intrigued to see if the magic I'd felt the previous week when I was with her would reappear. We met up on Sunday afternoon, and headed off to a Korean palace and a museum with a bunch of old artifacts. After that we had some dinner and then walked around and saw a couple cool spots in Seoul before finally parting ways.
Was it magical? No. Whatever state of mind I'd been in the week previous (it was the sleep-deprived state, if I remember correctly), was not with me this time. It only took me a few hours to realize that I would run into some of the same problems with Sunny that I would with any other girl.
Despite the fact that I no longer felt like I was in some sort of fairy tale, the truth of the matter still remains: as far as I can tell, she's a really good girl. To top it off, she doesn't treat me like I'm a foreigner, which is a pretty rare find around here.
So, what now? I'm not sure. We're still in the friend zone (a popular choice these days), and may be there for eternity. I have no clue about Korean dating culture, so I have no clue what, if anything, happens next.
I think yesterday I was bummed about it.
Today, however, I've realized that if I continue to manage to meet one girl a month like I have been, I'm sure somewhere around my eighth month or so I'll get it right.
