Hello
I am 40 male India and I have a female pen-pal who is 30 years old from another country. We have been pen-pals for around a year now.
She replies to every mail of mine and sometimes when she is late in replying (by about 15 days) sometimes she apologies and gives a reason for the delay in writing back. This has happened about six times now. Yes she is busy because she always writes her email past midnight.
I once sent her my picture when I knew her for six months and she sent hers and said "I usually don't share personal info like pictures with people I don't know personally but I am sending you one hoping you would keep it to yourself. Thats why I don't have any social networking account.
I once sent her some pictures of a palace in my country and she replied "Thanks for the amazing pictures. If I ever visit India I will go to that city and visit that Palace.
Is this just friendship or something more ?
