I know I could never do this, which I why I'm supporting MSN. Online conversations are commonplace anymore, basically the same as speaking over a phone, really. I truly wish MSN could go to her in person, and I truly wish he could do this all so easily.
But there's something we must all remember when thinking about how this unfolds and how it relates to whatever we're drawing inspiration from. Namely, and obviously, when people read this, they will think "Densha Otoko rip-off." But this is not densha, we are only saying that because we have seen the show and it relates to our culture - this is an entirely different story - and, one that began a lot differently to.
In Densha Otoko, it was obvious that Saori wanted Yamada from the onset. However, in this, we are unsure of their current status and must take things slowly to understand where it stands on how Winnie feels about MSN.
I do wish they could speak IRL, but I don't think that's the best course of action right now. He isn't "wasting" it, he's preserving it and going very cautiously. If he spoke to her directly and immediatly, yes, it might be a miracle and work - however at the same time, it could end in misery, and be the true "waste." The way we're going now takes a lot longer, and doesn't seem as effective, but in the end, it's almost a guarantee we can get them to be happy together, as long as we all work hard and guide MSN correctly. We need to stand as one, and hope that MSN isn't a total retard - which he isn't. It might take some bullshitting and a lot of time, but we can pull through this so long as we don't rush things and continue supporting him.
That's what I think.
