The one and only girl I'm corresponding with (done all the whittling down and red flag testing) sent me a mail this afternoon saying her mum (she lives with her mum but was herself out at the time) received a phone call from an unknown woman claiming that I was corresponding with other girls and not just her daughter!!!
I phoned my girl up immediately but due to her limited english it was difficult for me to get much more info. I wanted to know who this woman claimed to be / what agency she was calling on behalf of if any / what reason she had to be doing this / where she got my girls number from etc. etc.
My girl said she was only writing to me and would like to be confident that I was only corresponding with her.
Now, I'm rather confused. Is this just a clever way of tackling that old hairy chestnut (are we only talking to each other or are there other guys/girls in the picture somewhere)? Or has anyone else had this happen to them?
I quote
"Now, my reservations here are that (heeding the advice to have a backup plan) - I would rather have some time to spend on my own, going to a local agency perhaps, to see what else I can see. All this as well as spend, the majority, of my time with the girl I've come to visit. How can I plan this without upsetting the girl?"
When did you get the impression that noone except girl hungry men can read this forum Scooter ?
All it would take is a person from her agency to spot this poat and that could have opened this particular can of wriggly ones !!!
I thought about that TimH - only, what purpose could it serve this woman to go down this road? I met this girl through a free site (I know, I know - but they're not all scammers). And anyway, I'm not corresponding with anyone else (as she claims), my post the other day regarded the possibility of meeting others whilst out there - which thanks to you I've decided not to do. And also, how would this other woman know which girl I was corresponding with and which (if any) agency she had her profile with, in order to get her home phone number?
I might be wrong, but I'm not sure it had anything to do with this forum.
Have you met this girl in person yet? how often? how many times?
I always advocate that unless and until two people meet in person and manage to fall in love with each other, that love does not exist. Period.
...and if love doesn't exist prior to meeting face to face, how can anyone make expect to receive or give exclusivity for basic correspondence?
If you are not writing to several women...start today.
When you decide which one(s) you want to meet, be honest and inform all the other ones so they can move on with their lives, instead of leaving them hanging thinking they have a chance to a face to face meeting with you.
Your letter makes you sound like you might be somewhere in between, lol...Go meet her and dispel all doubts or confirm all suspicions
Neither am I certain that it had anything to do with here Scooter, but you can never be certain, until you know where the info originated from !!
Im really glad that you took in what I told you about the "one woman" thing :o)
Its the best way to do it, and the fairest way. Just as an example, and this is at Noone specific, its juts theory,
How would any of us guys feel if we arranged a visit to one girl, and then 2 days before we went there she announces that half way through the week we are there, she wont be able to see us for 3 days because she has another guy flying in to meet her ?
Would gut you wouldnt it ?
And these ladies would feel Exactly the same if you do it to them !!
Slow, yep, thats also a possibility, Mum may have heard from her friends about girls leaving to go West, and its rattled her a bit !! There are hundreds of possibilities !!
"When you decide which one(s) you want to meet, be honest and inform all the other ones so they can move on with their lives, instead of leaving them hanging thinking they have a chance to a face to face meeting with you."
He has done all that already GLT, he is down to this one.
Hey thanks again guys! This has only been my second posting but it's a relief to know that whatever questions I may have on this adventure, there'll be somebody out there who will go out of their way to advise. Truly wonderful.
As for todays events - who knows what the real scoop is. Could be her mum could be something more sinister, who knows. But anyway, I got on the phone starightaway to reassure the little lady and now I'm just waiting for my visa to come through from the Russian embassy here in London.
TimH - love your analogy re. 3 days in and girl drops bombshell about other guy jetting in. If I still had any doubts about going over to visit just the one, this has blown them away. Thanks again.
Some may say that only going to see one is a dumb idea coz what if she isnt the one ?
Well if she isnt, then at least you can come back knowing you played it straight, you did the right thing and that you can always start again and go another time to meet a right one :o)
If you go to meet one and it doesnt work out, you are really not in the right head to be meeting any more ladies on that trip anyway, you need to get over the one that just went wrong, for whatever reason. You had time, and emotions invested in her, so you wont be over those until after you are back home :o)
