My girlfriend of six years has gone abroad with her parents for two weeks. I don’t have many friends other than her who I talk with so while she’s away I downloaded the app HelloTalk.I can’t lie and say I wasn’t hoping to talk to some cute Asian girls and help them with their English, but had no intention other than just polite conversation. Over the past three days I’ve been speaking exclusively with a Japanese girl and we have a great connection, and I’m worried she’s developing a crush on me. She’s incredibly sweet and has confided in me about her self-consciousness regarding her personality and looks.I don’t want to hurt her or betray my girlfriend. Some advice on the right thing to do would help me a lot.
you could casually mention your girlfriend in passing, like it's not a big deal. don't make it a big dramatic reveal or it'll be obvious that you think she's into you. if she's not into you, that'd be awkward. just be like "oh yeah i was talking to my gf the other day" or something and your japanese friend can deal with that as she needs to
>>33646443I think I’ll do this tomorrow, thanks for the advice It’s only been three days of talking so I hope either I’m wrong or her feelings aren’t too hurt and we can continue talking
>>33645850If she asks tell her that you have a gf but would like to stay friends. Could you teach me Japanese anon san?
>>33645850OP here. I’ve slipped it into conversation. My message has been read but not resounded to. It’s only been a minute but this is agonising. I really hope I haven’t hurt her feelings.
>>33649606It’s me op, you hurt my feelings, and brought shame to my clan, how could you do this to me. I have to restore honour to my clan by committing seppuku.
As it turns out I did hurt her feelings. I feel like an asshole for going about this whole hellotalk business in the first place.She’s torn about whether she wants to continue talking to me.>>33650166If she actually kills herself idk what to do
>>33650219Just leave the poor dude alone. No one is online for friends, that’s what they say to avoid the stigma of looking like a creep, deep down you wanted some pussy too cause you think your old lady is going to cheat. When you’re in a relationship, always ask yourself “How wouldI feel if they did this to me” before you do anything.
>>33650234You’re right, I wouldn’t want my gf doing the same thing.I’ll find a way to close this off without causing any more harm than I already have
>>33650264I suggest seppuku.
