Women, if a guy you havent seen in years wrote you letters, how would you feel

@Salix75 Wow.
For the record I'm not looking at her as a romantic partner, she's taken anyway. I mean I have romantic feelings but I'd call them precocious, I know I'm just working through stuff emotionally, I met her at a really rough time in my life and she was kind enough to help me through it.
I just...wish there was a way to let her know she's important to me and I miss her without it coming off as creepy even if I'm not important to her. I'm sure I'm just one of many guys in her life.

@zeframcochrane just write honestly. How she interprets it it outside of your control. Have no expectations of any response. Just tell her what you said here, that you're writing for your your own need to express your appreciation and how important she is and that you miss her. If you strike a chord, she may reply. If you don't, you'll get no response (which actually is a response)

@Salix75 Oh we're still friends we talk on fb on occasion still and stuff and she's expressed hoping to see me again in the future for coffee and such like we did pre-pandemic.
Unfortunately my life has been financially destroyed and I fear that will never happen but the good that came out of it is thanks to her influence coupled with the pandemic I kicked my drug addiction and moved into a new career I'm just kind of breaking into and have repaired a lot of relationships in my life that were previously beyond repair. She helped with that introspection and development even if she has comparatively been there for a very small portion of my life. She never knew me as a boy which sucks 'cause I was a sweet kid before I fell into that life...but she saw something in me. And I like hearing I'm still a boy. She calls me a boy and I feel like maybe someone can still see that kid in me.

I mean look at from my perspective: A young man, 22, who spent his boyhood shy and a loser to everyone, getting called ugly (apparently I'm rather attractive so maybe I just got the shitty end of the stick being born in a bad place) lost and alone in a new city suddenly accosted by a dashing, charming, beautiful young woman of 39 who completely changes his life in a short span of time. How could he ever develop any sort of interest in her, romantic or otherwise?
How could he just forget her even after he leaves back home to go find himself and repair the past?
And from her side: A young woman suddenly sees and reaches out to a young man who reminds her of herself at her age lost and alone and tries to help him onto a better path, taking a risk that he's a decent person deep down. Or maybe she just saw some attractive young guy and play prospect? I don't know. I really hope it was just innocent intentions from the get go. Or maybe I reminded of her younger brother.
How could she ever remember him after he leaves for a year and a half, he was just one man?

@zeframcochrane I read your posts actually more like books it's time to move on... Sometimes life sucks when you date a girl , she wants a man that has confidence not one that is unsure of himself...

@masterofyou I've moved on from this months ago. She's currently my best friend and mentor and I talk to her almost everyday.

@zeframcochrane lol then you haven't moved on....

@masterofyou Yes?
We're friends. I'm very happy with us being friends. She's like a teacher to me and a great source of wisdom in my life. I'm lucky to have her around to call on.

How have I not moved on? In no way am I sitting around thinking of her.
You might be confusing a recent post her with something from my past.

And also you're kind of a dick anyway so I'm already done here.
