I was just searching for a native speaking penpal to pratice and improve my english. I posted an ad on a penpal finding website (I even specified "no male", because I thought I would get weirdos)...
He emailed me, just one sentence, to tell me that my avatar was creepy (I recognise that it was a weird one now ^^ ). And we started to exchange emails, then msn, then phone calls...then he came visit me in France. And now, 6 years after we first emailed eachother, we decided to apply for the K1.
We're right there with you. 9/20 and nothing. I have been waiting impatiently everyday for an email or sms and nothing. I think I should try to forget about it for awhile and maybe it'll come. If only possible...
