It was...kind of a sobering experience. And it made me realise why many actual girls probably choose ambiguity online. ^_~; Knowing all that I do now, I'd be inclined to choose such an avenue myself if I were female. That or I'd just lie and say I was male. ^_^
There was also some other boy that I actually really liked. We exchanged emails for a while, and really got along well. Unfortunately it only dawned on me after about a month that he almost certainly thought that I was a girl, and that he had been probably been flirting with me without me, dense to that sort of stuff as always, really noticing. He was kind of lonely, I think, and often spoke of wanting a girlfriend...
I kind of...still haven't written back to him since. ;__; I just didn't have the heart. The whole thing just made me a little sad...
