Im a teen, and I have a slightly distant relative who I have a crush on, but she lives in another country, and I did text her on Facebook often before, but now she never texts me back, and Im thinking its because of the culture there and all its views on boy-girl interactions. Either that or she just doesn't get on much, which is typical of my relatives, for a variety of reasons. I don't like her much anymore since I don't even talk to her, but in my culture dating isn't all that much important at this age and when it does become important it becomes much more like planning for the future, rather than a means of meeting new people and enjoying oneself casually, and so it isn't all that big of a deal. But I still really want to see her next summer when I go to her country. And I want to be able to become friends with her, but I'm confused about a few things. First of all, I don't know my psychological motivations. Am I simply lonely because I have trouble making friends due to my Asperger's, or am I just a teen in love? But there's a problem with that, because I barely know her. Also, I don't know how to become friends with her, due to my lack of flexible social skills, and I don't know how to maintain that after I leave the country. And again, I think of this very casually, so its not like Im torturing my self over a girl I barely know, but I still think it would be cool if we were friends, because she's pretty cool, and really cute, and I would really like to make a friend.
