Love Birds, I’m home!
Ah, soft sheets, warm showers, and my kitchen.…sometimes
it is the smallest creature comforts that I find happiness in! Well, I am back and I have some big life
decisions ahead of me. Traveling opened
my eyes to new possibilities and love.
More to come soon! This week’s
letter comes from the realm of online dating.

Dear Sara,
I’ve just
discovered your blog a couple of months ago and I am addicted! I am a travel
photographer and I loved your series about dating in China. Here’s the thing, I have fallen for a girl
I’ve never met. We’ve been sharing everything from private Instagram photos,
texts messages, snapchats, and Facebook posts. I am so smitten. I am ready to meet her in person but what if
she isn’t what I think she is. Then again, what if she is? I am thinking of asking her out
but not sure how to do it.

Dear Enamored on Instagram,
First, I would like to address your job! You are a travel
photographer?! Wow, I can’t imagine having that dream life and it sounds like
you might have found your dream girl to accompany you on your adventures! Here's my advice to you: Take
it slow. If I were she, I would want you to ask me out for drinks first. Just try inviting her out for a happy hour
drink. This leaves things very opened ended and low committal in case she turns
out to be not what you expected. I’m you’ve heard of catfish, right?! Ha! But
don’t let this scare you off. If you don’t try then you’ll never know and you
will always be wondering what if.
This is one of my biggest takes from my trip to China. I don’t want to be one
of those people who go through life wondering what if… You’ve got to seize these opportunities and make the most
of your life! Best of luck to you, sweet
Enamored, she sounds like a very lucky gal!
