    Default The Courtship of "T"

    Now for a truly "romantic" story. A friend of mine in the Army is getting shipped off to Iraq soon after he finishes college (he had a student deferrment- they wanted him sooner...) Ever since I met him seven years ago, I have flirted with him and given him gifts. Or course the flirting was to no avail, since most of the time we were either dating other people, not in the same region, or he'd rebuff me as not his type of girl. I enjoyed giving to him, so I continued......
    I didn't court him with the sole intention of having him as a mate. I did it because I thought he was an exceptional young man and it gave me pleasure to flatter someone like that.
    How should I go about overseas wartime correspondence? I don't want to give the wrong idea- I just want to be a supportive friend. I know he's scared to go to a war zone, but man enough not to show it. I wrote to my cousin when he was stationed in Iraq last year but that's family....
    Any thoughts from former military members and mates of service personnel are welcome.

    Any time you are even friendly to a male, you risk us getting the wrong idea. It's not so much about giving it. Since he will be in a stressful situation, emotions will run high and the risk is even greater. The question for you - is it worth that risk?

    Don't think so...b/c i think this guy knows she likes him....he has said he wasnt her type. Im sure he knows she wants him. I dont think thats the problem.

    Sounds like a nice story. I dont know what tell you to write him about. But my suggestions would be anything and everything not having to do with where he is and what hes doing. Anything that will keep his mind off of what he has to see everyday. Just talk to him about what you normally would if you were both here in the US. Dont worry about him being scared. He's going to be OK with that. Let him know you are there for him, but dont make it overly dramatic...just keep it simple.

    Just my thoughts.


    Good luck.
