>>319, Since she walked me to her house to get to the car, I do know her address. I believe that should be a proper excuse.

>>321, I know I should have asked for her name. In fact, I wanted to know almost all the time but didn't have the guts to ask. It seemed and seems still an awkward question.

We didn't really talk about specific things, it was most about university. Let me elaborate a little on that: She is a masters student of law but she doesn't study in the city where I do. Instead she commutes to a different city for her studies twice a week. This is possible in the Netherlands, because it is not all too big of a country. I guess she goes by train. When I met her, she carried along two bags of clothes and shoes that she had bought in that city. Those were, according to her, the result of a last shopping spree before her exams which are end of december.

Those are more memories than I thought I would have remembered! Writing about them really helped... but I don't see many hints in them yet.

You know what they say about Dutch people? They're supposed to be stingy. I don't want to be stingy, but if the gift does not have the effect of at least reestablishing contact I don't want to have spent too much money on it. After all, I'm just a student living from his parent's subsidies.

Finally, I thought maybe the timing should be considered? we both have exams soon, and it is also Christmas soon. What should I give, and when?
