Not at all! It's a bit of a strange case I guess.

We met because she has coffee at the cafe where I work. We started talking after it came up that both of us had ex-partners from the States. Her's was quite a bit more serious than mine (four years and an engagement ring). But nine months ago they broke it off when neither of them was willing to leave everything to move abroad. Same situation on my part.

Two weeks ago out of nowhere her ex decided that he couldn't live without her and had sorted out plans to move here permanently so that they could be together. So all of a sudden she wasn't sure what she was doing or whether she still loved him... or whether she wanted to be with me. I said I'd make it easy for her and extricate myself from the situation. She still came to get coffee every day and I was absolutely miserable. She didn't fare much better. So we started talking about it and she said she'd made up her mind that she doesn't want to be with him. Problem solved!

As for duolingo, I love it! I just lack the necessary self-motivation to build it into a habit.
