I would have to pretty much agree with Roco.

Don't just let it drop like that. Don't be a stalker either, but be assertive.

Ok, well I talked to her last night and I am going over to see her tomorrow. Basically what we are going to do is take a step back to get to know each other better. It seems that her biggest fear is that she isn't herself around me and if I find out who she really is then I wont like her and leave her and she will get hurt. (thats what it seems anyway).

I do think that she finally understands that I dont care about the age difference though. Even when she says things like she is really not that good of a person and i wont like her she is still kind of gigglie on the phone.

I am just going to chill out, spend time with her, and over time as she begins to see I still care about her I think the other issues will be less important.

Cheers mate! Take it a step at a time, learn about her and allow her to learn more about you...hopefully all falls into place after that.

Well, this is most likely the end. I went to her place last night and things started off well. She was even kissing me. Anyway, I asked if I could accompany her to a party this weekend and she said no. She then freaked out because she really cares about what others will think if we dated and she is 28, I am 23, and we meet because she is my tutor.
She said that is too much for her.

She also said that all those things she said in her message were real and that she cares about me and doesn't think she can just be friends. I was there from 9-12:30.

I told her I couldn't be mad at her even though she wanted me to and I still wanted her to be my tutor. I said I just pitied her because she would risk losing something precious because of something trivial. She tried to apologize but I told her the only thing I regretted was that I was not older.

As I tried to leave she grabbed me and just repeated mate (which is japanese for stop.. she said other things but i dont know what they were) She followed me down the stairs and onto the porch where for about 5 times when i tried to leave she grabbed my arm and pulled me back.

I told her not to do anything that would make her feel more guilty (even though i really wanted the kiss she longed for) and that even though I doubt she would ever get over those fears, she knew where to find me if she did.

She's that worried about 5 years??? Wow.
