My first potential american friends
I already told you about my husbands friends in California. I never actually met them, but this month I talked to both of them for the first time and already feel kind of close to those guys. I don’t know why, but they give me a safe feeling just by being there.
About two weeks ago I first talked to Scott. He added me on a messenger some time ago and I never had the balls to just write him. One evening my husband told me to just say hi and I did it. Even if I knew that this guy is absolutely cute and open-minded, I was surprised by how warm he talked to me and how good a feeling he gave me by just telling me that he can’t wait to meet me and for us to eventually move into their neighborhood.
Then last week his girlfriend Jeana contacted me via Facebook and was such a cutie it nearly broke my heart. She wrote me like we were close friends, who just hadn’t talked to each other for a while. She told me that she was looking forward to meet us in May, that she would love to have us over to their house as sleep-in-guests and already made plans on how we could spend our days and evenings together.
I always was kind of worried that I will never find friends in the US, because I am a real shy person when it comes to meeting new people. I already pictured myself spending my whole nights in front of the computer telling my far away friends how horribly lonely I feel and how much I miss them. But after getting warmed up (in what feels like a second) to Scott and Jeana I feel much more ready to take the big step into the United States of America. Even if many people judge the superficial behavior of the Americans, I guess this will at least help me to feel welcome and perhaps be something that makes it easier for me to get a social life.
