saw those pictures of her and frankly, I don't think you've missed out. She doesn't seem like the most mature person in the world. I mean after 5 years of talking? What was she thinking, AND agreeing to go on holiday with you...that's just not nice.
I think it's a shame but it can work out. I was with my boyfriend for about a week the first time I met him and then he left to England. We did long-distance for a year and it was tough. I know exactly how you felt waiting for her at the airport...like your stomach is doing a double somersault backwards, and then you see them and you don't know whether to smile, or cry... Just keep taking risks and one day you'll be rewarded. No fear. I took the risk and it worked out for me, we live together now. I'm glad he was mature enough to see that what we had was special and should be held on to.
Don't despair, from what I saw you're a good-looking guy yourself, you'll find the right girl.

Whether we write or speak or do but look
We are ever unapparent. What we are
Cannot be transfused into word or book.
Our soul from us is infinitely far.
However much we give our thoughts the will
To be our soul and gesture it abroad,
Our hearts are incommunicable still.
In what we show ourselves we are ignored.
The abyss from soul to soul cannot be bridged
By any skill of thought or trick of seeming.
Unto our very selves we are abridged
When we would utter to our thought our being.
We are our dreams of ourselves, souls by gleams,
And each to each other dreams of others' dreams.
Fernando Pessoa, 1918
