Princess Kako was one of my 1st crushes ever back in High school, that was 10 years ago now am in my late 20s and still never had a relationship I had dreams of getting married to her and I be like William III of England who marry Mary II of England it sounds crazy back then it was German/Dutch guy marring a English Novel. As for myself I only had two rejections. 1st was a Japanese girl from college which was a big fail on the spot that was 9 years ago, 2nd was a Filipina women which also ended like 1st one. Am Mexican so I know it's hard to marry with a Japanese person, but like you I gave up and will instead be like King Æthelstan of Anglo-Saxons who never married and never like anyone but conquering England and dying a virgin.
