A female age 41-50, anonymous writes:

I've been keeping in touch with a military guy whose stationed in Kansas. I met him on a deployment a year ago.

When we met, he flirted with me, but only met on 2 occations for a business deal then he left. I decided to write to him 2 months after that, and the truth I didn't think he was going to remember me. To my surprise he did and told me he had great memories of me. (I repeat we didn't have anything sexual).

I do know he's with someone else. So, we started keeping in touch by email since then, mostly ocassional emails, to check out how we are doing. He's military and is pretty busy.

He takes the chance to reply all my messages almost immediately and updates me with little notes on the things happening in his life at the moment. We share pictures, jokes and he mentions what he likes and doesn't like of the places he's been through.

He said although he's happy to be home, he often thinks of the time he was here and the friends, like me, he made and stay in contact with, (ironically I'm the only civilian he keeps contact with, since not even the people with whom he works with actually contact him or vice-versa).

Last week he emailed me and said he's being deployed again,(didn't said where), so I asked if I could write to him.

He replied that he'll be very busy but if he has a chance he'll write, and that he'll be back to work soon enough and will definitely be in touch.

I know that now he's not available, but do you think a remote possibility maybe he's leaving the door open for something else in the future.

I'm not saying that I'm waiting for him, but is it worth to maintain this friendship and see how it rides?

peaches83 agony auntI think it possibly could. Of course you mentioned that he was with someone. Does he ever discuss his relationship with you. Try looking over his emails and see if there is any evidence of anything that isnt platonic. If there is a int of anything other than friendship then you have your answer. All you have to do then is confront him and be blunt. You will know one way or another then.
