The worst a woman has done to me is not that bad compared to what other guys will recount, but it still hurt and it was not fun. I contacted her online, we talked for months. She played along for me to fly to her continent to see her and stay there for a week, around new year's eve 2016-17. She knew I was coming, but I didn't say exactly when. When I texted that I'd arrived at the airport, she "switched", and started giving me short, avoidant, very slow answers to my texts. Days later when she finally came out to meet up (I didn't think she would at that point, and I'm not sure why she did) after questioning and changing my plans and despite my attempts to have a lively time, she made it a tense, bad time, snickered at my newest idea, turned her cheek, and then after a while dropped me off.
Red flags:
- No father. I thought since that's practically the same for me, it'd be common ground. As LARaiders85 would later explain to me, big mistake.
- Hints of playing with me throughout talking to her before, but somewhat subtle and easy to overlook for her sexy baits, the feeling of some common ground when talking about life, and wanting to make it work. By the time I booked my tickets I already knew this likely wasn't going to go too well and I was taking a big risk, but I chose to overlook it, especially as I'd already traveled internationally to see a girl successfully before in my own continent (who was a star at sucking d1ck). Big mistake. I don't know whether she really "switched" when I arrived, and if she did what the reasons were, or if it was always her intention to put me down.
Lesson learned:
- Never give away power to someone else over your own outcome. I formulated that sentence after I was dropped off, and keep in mind and repeat it to this day. It doesn't matter if she
tempts you with things like this. When I "came to see her" I spent too much time and money and went too far away. I handed the outcome of what I was doing, to her. There wasn't a good way for me to convert my stay into something I would enjoy anyway, I wouldn't have gone if not for seeing her, and that was the mistake. Had this same thing happened in my home city I wouldn't even have made this post as I would not have risked any time or money. But I decided to give it a chance, and gave away power to her over my outcome. That's a mistake I'll never do again.
I've had some other mean or disrespectful stuff like anyone might, but nothing else in the same league as that.
