Comfort in email communication

While I am at my business meeting, I try not to get too much distracted by this whole thing with her. And since it is developing quite positively, it does not have a negative impact on me. In fact, I am invigorated, quite active in the meeting, since I have this positive push from this developing relationship. I write to her everything that happened, it almost is as if she is here with me.

There is a danger in this e-mail-only relation: it may present a different image than reality. We only had met so briefly not even a week ago, and we are already in quite intensive exchanges. With email it is like with the old letter-pal method: people get access to each other in ways that during a normal conversation would not be possible: one can express themselves, and without distraction from external factors, the souls can speak to each other directly. But humans are not only souls… they have real-life needs and desires. And these are not so much covered in the emails. Danger is that one sees only that subset that is presented through the carefully worded emails – one may miss the real personality.

But for now I will not care for these fine considerations – I am very glad to be in regular email contact for now – we will meet more when she is back from her travel.
