ORIGINAL: Toppingfrmbottom With no decency, to tell me not to come, knowing his aunt said no who was sponging off his aunt and his uncle, and so when I got there he was, not only late picking me up from the airport, the moment I walked into his aunts home she screamed to get me the hell out of her house, I told you she couldn't come here. Oh.... Wow.... Jeez.... I'm so sorry you went through that sweetie! A story like that makes me feel blessed, when I was really young, I met a guy online, he came to visit me and it was oh so wonderful and I was an idiot, didn't realize that letters and stuff went all to his office and that I only had the office phone and mobiles were more expensive (he had such brilliant excuses and the time difference made it easier as he was hardly ever at home, blah blah), especially when you called internationally. I almost chucked in university as he wanted me to come and live with him in New Jersey (he said)... I was freelancing for magazines at the time and sent to NYC as a staffer who was meant to go broke a leg, thought on the day off I go to Joisey and surprise him, mind you I had a warning before because some woman online contacted me and claimed he was a lothario and gave me his real address, of course he said she was some nutcase and I should pay no attention, his jealous ex, and I bought it but some instinct made me keep the address. To cut it short, I showed up at the address I had from him and it was in an industrial area, a big factory with a big admin complex, and I was told that I couldn't be admitted due to some safety regulations and that absolutely nobody would be living in the area - I didn't bother to walk over to the admin complex because by then I had an odd feeling, I went to the address the woman (who he claimed was his mad ex who now stalked him online) had given me (I wasted a fortune on cabs and train fares that day) and a highly pregnant woman with a toddler opened and when I asked for him, she wanted to know what my business is with her husband. I still don't know if it was the right thing to do, but the bunch of flowers that I had dragged all along for him, I handed them over to her and said "Flower delivery" and walked away, round the corner where I started sobbing like a baby. I was tempted to go back and tell her, but you can't do that to a pregnant woman, so I made my way back, spent the flight back to Europe crying... I couldn't even call him at the office number, I was honestly in shock. I'm still so glad that I didn't tell him of the surprise assignment and wanted to surprise him, only the surprise turned out a lot different than planned - slightly less romantic... Back home I sent him an email, he said he would explain to me and then the email didn't work anymore and he had changed his screen name (AOL way back when...) So yes, I might be a bit cynical when it comes to online personas, mind you I also met my current partner online (though on a computer board) and it took a while until we met - it wasn't planned to be romantic or that I would meet "him" it was a geek meeting and he was under the impression I was a guy as women don't like computers and such nonsense. What can I say? 8 years later....
