<human>: As the title implies I need advice. Our   

relationship is pretty platonic although we 
get flirty at times, I study Japanese and 

she studies English, we often use each 

other to improve our respective languages 

we are studying. I don't see this becoming 

romantic, she is a typical Japanese 

pacifist who is probably going to go to a 

highly selective school in Japan (tokyo U), 

while I'm an American from the south with 

asperations to attend USNA, Christian 

(she's Buddhist). 

Surprisingly for the many differences we 

have we are also very similar, we both 

believe in working hard without 

complaining, respecting family, and we 

both want to work abroad at some point 

(we love foreign cultures and talking 

about each others). I plan on going to 

Japan later this year and maybe meeting 

her, any ideas on how not to botch this? 

Also, with all the stress out colleges will 

bring us, any ideas on how to keep good 

contact? Thanks in advance.

Can you condense the text into a few key points?
<bot>: we have been talking for a while it's mostly platonic, but how do I keep it going while going through a tough college, and how do I not screw up a first meeting.
