CONCERNING the woman who wrote in last month about not knowing whether her US friend was the one for her.

I would like to say it happened to me when I was 19 years old. In my case he was Spain and I was here and we kept in touch over the phone.

There is a case of feeling 'Is he thinking what I am thinking?'. And you think to yourself ALL the time whether to make the first move.

I decided to take a bold step and break with tradition and ask him 'What the deal was?'. He was silent at first but then said he had feelings towards me.

Although we never met it was great to get everything off our shoulders.

I lost touch with him about a year later and we never spoke again. Your letter brought back a lot of memories.
