I finally decided to call a guy I have such a big crush on. After a year of not seeing him or talking on the phone, just email. Well, I did it cuz he´s leaving on a trip shortly to Africa and is going to be away for 6 months. We live apart from each other though.

He said and sounded surprised, and was in between relaxed and nervous at the same time ( I was nervous, tried not to showed it but and doubted I made it).

I wish him good trip and kinda giggle somewhat. He was more like cool then and said he was going to write to me. We didn´t said much (mainly cuz I went blank, stupid of me).

Do you think was a bad idea calling him, and will he really be in touch, (he said he will, but Idk now after this)

What do you think based on your experiences or perception?

Should I write him another email before he leaves recalling my emails and best wishes?

I'm no expert. None of the guys I have dated have ever had to go abroad to Africa.

Have you done something wrong. Not at all in my book. You've been a strong, adult woman. You've gone after what you want, no matter if it results in rejection or embarrasment. You've told him how you feel, and that is admirable. Should you send him an email. Of course you should. He's going far away and you care. No you don't sound desperate, you sound focused and determined to get the best out of life.

Send your email, wishing him good luck. Then wait until he contacts you. You have shown interest, you have told him how you feel. I wish more women could be as clear sighted as you. You care, you told him, you can do no more, the ball is now in his court. I think your great and I hope he will too.
