June 2007 near the art museum in MN, USA<\/span><\/div>\n

As I wrote in this blog before, I met Jeff in 2007 in U.S.<\/p>\n

When I started dating with him, I was 20 years old. And he was my first boyfriend.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

I’m very outgoing and love to challenge whatever I’m interested in, even if someone stops me. <\/span><\/p>\n

However, as I got older, I had more things that I couldn’t do like others. <\/span><\/p>\n

One of them is dating. <\/span><\/p>\n

Things I could have done were something I could achieve by my effort only. <\/span><\/p>\n

But regarding relationship, I need to love someone, and someone needs to love me back right? <\/span><\/p>\n

It cannot be completed only by my effort, and maybe I had been afraid to be declined because of my disability. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Although in high school or junior college, many of my friends got boyfriends, but I wasn’t interested in having one and was thinking I could enjoy my life with something else. <\/span><\/p>\n

Therefore, I haven’t liked someone special really in Japan, and also had thought no one would like me as love interest in Japan.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

However, just 5 days after I arrived in US, I met Jeff on campus. <\/span><\/p>\n

To be honest, I thought he was cute but was not my type (I’m writing this because he knows it). \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

He was the one who had pursued me since the 1st day we met each other. <\/span><\/p>\n

I gave him my PC email address on the day, and I received his email 2 hours later, asking me that “can we go to lunch tomorrow?” <\/span><\/p>\n

Since the day, he showed up everywhere I went (I kinda thought he was a stalker!), <\/span><\/p>\n

and we accidentally saw each other and talked almost everyday. <\/span><\/p>\n

And of course he kept emailing and calling me almost everyday too….<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

As he acted so obviously and the campus is small (approx. 6,000 students), many international students got to know his love affair very shortly. <\/span><\/p>\n

And I also heard about it before he officially asked me out. <\/span><\/p>\n

But I hadn’t had any relationship before, and I didn’t expect that someone loves me first either. <\/span><\/p>\n

So, I couldn’t believe that he liked me then. <\/span><\/p>\n

I didn’t know his real personality. <\/span><\/p>\n

Therefore I was doubting that he might be pretending to be a nice and sweet guy but actually he had different purpose like my money etc. <\/span><\/p>\n

There were many cute Japanese international students on campus too, so I couldn’t think about any other reasons why he came closer to me.<\/span><\/p>\n

To be continued tomorrow. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
