Posted: 10/19/2006 11:02:57 PM | I don't know, pal, I'm sure there must exist POF stories worse than that. A friend of mine flew from Calgary to Texas to meet some guy -- who turned out to not 28, but 15. Another girl I was talking to met some guy off the Internet who was only claiming to live in Calgary. Told her when the entrees arrived that he'd flown there from Vancouver.
Yours is the first horrible girl story I've seen, but we could all supply a few if we thought about it for a bit, right, my brothers? The way of things is, some girls flake. Some guys are dogs. But on both sides, the good ones outnumber the bad.
Peace.

Posted: 10/22/2006 5:40:06 AM | Dear Sir,
Assuming all you say is true........the 'thing'(creature).....you visited should be tied to a stake and severely spanked. So called 'human' nature will never cease to amaze me, the dark depts of which are without limit!
Shame on this 'thing' who masquerades as a human being.........In order for the balance of the 'ying' and the 'yang' to be reset........you have no alternative than to unmask her.....you must unrobe her name, so that all the world may ridicule and despise her!

Posted: 10/29/2006 3:41:17 PM | | Would it not be interesting to hear this ladies side of the story? I wonder what happened to discourage her from coming back solid? Come on ladies n gents you've all been there at some time or another when you have met someone weather it's been via chat or real time and your looking for a way out because just does'nt go along with what you thought it would be or someone said or did something to change your prespective..... She showed up, she thought about it, and she left. Possibly she could not face her own fear of abandoning. That is not a crime. | |

What? Leaving MOJO LA dumped in Vancouver BC Canada, at great personal $$$$ expense isn't a crime? It should be! I would be extremely pissed off at having my time and resources wasted. I think all the FLAMING this woman is getting on this discussion forum is just punishement. She should continue to be punished and BBQed until her last mortal moments on Earth. Keep it going on on on on on... Perhaps it may send a message to others out there with no consideration, guts or brains?
All this dating relationship mis-firing is sort of depressingly tedious. Any of you want a discussion forum on city sports centres, urban land use development, entertainment, food & drink, lifestyles, economics, hip & cool stuff, professional sports teams, etc.? Go to (WWW.VIBRANTVICTORIA.CA). | |

Posted: 10/30/2006 11:02:30 AM | Myself, I was chatting with someone for a longtime.
It was coincidence that we were both moving to Europe for a few months, and it was about a 2 hour train ride,from where I lived.
I had a good time, but it didn't work out.
Now again coincidence, we live in the same city(back in Canada), and I still speak to her frequently enough even though it isnt romantic. She is one of my best friends. | |

Posted: 10/30/2006 1:14:10 PM | Saying you'll never meet anyone again over 50 miles away from you is saying this experience scarred you.
He didn't say that. read it closely. he said he would do it again. so not scarred, but maybe scared. | |

Posted: 10/30/2006 1:36:59 PM | | I would NEVER travel to meet someone I didn't know. I have had men ask to travel to meet me, and I always say "NO". If you are coming in for business or to hang out with relatives lets do drinks or coffee, but otherwise "NO WAY". The way I look at it there are too many possibilites that I won't like them or they won't like me, and then what do we do. I have had blind dates where 2 hours was way too long, and I can't imagine either of us in that situation for a weekend or longer. Its just too much pressure. That being said if she invited you she should have been stand up, and done her part regardless of what happened unless of course she felt you were dangerous or something. | |

Posted: 10/30/2006 5:51:52 PM | When I was in college a couple years ago a classmate of mine was into meeting men through msn chats (when they were free). She talked to a guy for not even 2 weeks (something stupid like that) and "fell in love"...cyberly, of course..
Anyways, just before Christmas she decided to go see him. This is a woman who has 2 young children she left with her ex while she went to Seattle to meet this guy. I don't remember who paid for it, but I do remember him not showing up to meet her, and her having to spend a couple days in Seattle until she could come back up to (northern) Canada.
I clearly remember it was a dumb move on her part. | |

Posted: 10/31/2006 3:58:30 PM | Dearest Mojo;
I am truly sorry for the way you were treated. I apologize for the rudeness of a fellow Canadian. If she even got vibes from you or felt uncomfortable in the situation....all she has to do is express it. Do people forget communication does wonders and can avoid so many hurt feelings?....
I have had sim expeirance with an american man but I wont class them as all messed up; it dont matter what country it is. Theres good n bad in all places. When talking via email or dating sites...people tend to talk for a bit and get all these expectations of what that person is supposed to be. yet we are all typing and having time to figure out what to say or in fact backspace when its said wrongly. In person when we say something there is no taking it back or erasin it.
No good person deserves what you went through and yes we all learn from our expeirances but we are still human. I apologize yet again for her lack of communication and rudeness; her loss.
Take care and wish u the best in the future...
A true Canadian girl....... | |

Posted: 11/2/2006 12:09:20 AM | Ladies and gentlemen, we're getting close to the one year anniversary of this story, and people are still responding. There really isn't that much left to say, but in a few short lines I will answer 90% of the posts and comments:
- She wasn't married, trust me
- No, one bad egg did not turn me off to all Canadian women. That would be silly. In fact, I eventually met another Canadian gal who was quite spiffy.
- I don't hold a grudge against this girl. She did more than encourage me to come visit, and in the fuzzy fantasy world of email and the telephone, she did well. But when it came to meeting, she just freaked out, didn't know how to handle it and ran. She hadn't dated in a long time and reacted badly to the stress. I wasn't happy about how it worked out, but I don't hate her for it.
- Long distance is a huge challenge, and no one should even think of starting something up unless they really have the ability and stamina to follow through. That being said, a blanket rule of dismissing people outside a 20 mile radius is shortsighted; even despite this story, I would (and have) done it again, because some people are just worth it.
- Tim Horton's ain't all that great. Krispy Kreme and Dunkin Donuts is much better. | |

Posted: 11/2/2006 5:59:46 AM | Read with interest the worst POF story you will ever hear, and wanted to add my own two cents. Granted, this didn't happen on POF or to me, but I think it's important for everyone anyway to be reminded of the sort of people on the site or why some people are here.
A few years ago one of my colleagues set me up with this guy whom she said would be a great match for me, we both worked in the same industry, he was funny, smart, charming etc. I wasn't that keen on having someone from work set up my personal life, but after she nagged me for a few weeks I finally said yes. Anyway, I met this guy and we got on pretty well, had dinner together, then after dinner he asked if he could come home with me and I said no, caught a cab and went home. I didnt hear from him again, and I didnt think anything of it until about 5 months later when I got a call from a strange girl on my cellphone, asking if I had gone on a date with so and so. I said yes, and her next question was, did you sleep with him. It turned out this guy was hiv positive, and he had been trawling the internet, dating sites, chat sites, phone chats everywhere looking for any woman to have unprotected sex with as he often as he could. The girl who called me was the roommate of a girl who had met him through a dating site, had sex with him and was now hiv positive. Together they had tracked down that he had a girlfriend (pregnant to him), and the girlfriend had gone through his cellphone and they had begun calling up all the numbers (100+) in there (hence finding me in his address book). I ended up meeting his girlfriend (who was still in shock about what her partner was like), and going through the beginning of the lawsuit with her before she went back home to her family.
Anyway, sorry to bring a downer into this thread, but I wanted to remind everyone that there are really bad people out there. It really scared me to read how naive some people in this thread could be, and whilst it's great to be open to new experiences and emotionally baggageless, whenever I meet someone new I always make myself think back to this memory and how some people can be monsters. Please protect yourselves. | |

Posted: 11/2/2006 1:46:32 PM | | Gee, and I thought getting stood up on a 2nd date here in town was devastating.....I guess it makes me feel better to know I'm not the only one playing the game & sometimes getting burned. (Although you went much farther to get screwed, well, not literally). Good luck to you, hope you won't be disillusioned by one bad seed. | |

Posted: 11/5/2006 8:21:54 AM | I read your story and for some reason I had the feeling she was married. There are alot of woman and men both that are not totally honest or even a spark of honesty for that matter. I have heard horror stories before from men where the woman flirted with them and encouraged them only for them to find out they were married after having mishaps as you did . They went to look for where they lived only to find the husband answer the door or drive into the drive way. Some women and men alike just like the attention and don't worry about someones feelings only about their own satisfaction. Its sad but true.
I think there are little checks you can do prior to a visit with someone of distance but nothing is full proof. For one if she talked to you for a lengthy time and wouldnt give you a home number or work number, tell where she works or her address. Obviously if your inviting someone from another country they need to know where you live in order to enter the country. I guess its the chance you take if your willing to go the distance.
What she did was very inconsiderate and rude. I am new to this program but I saw where there is a place to comment about a person. This can be a good thing and again a bad thing if someone really liked you and you did not feel the same. But In a positive way I think you could comment and maybe save someone else from going through the same situation as you did. | |

Posted: 11/5/2006 12:44:23 PM | | Hah, you think that's bad.... the last 3 weeks have been weeks from hell. I met this guy of POF and we totally hit it off and was soo HOT. Things were moving fast, but i'm like what the hell u only live once. I had credit card fraud and a week after he confessed he had taken my credit card and taken my car one day when i was at work... I then found 2 credit cards in his wallet from other girls, a bank card and peice of ID from some other girl. He also stole a bunch of shit and told me had a warrant for his arrest.. I had him arrested and he's currently in jail and has a restraining order.... Please fellow POF users be careful..... | |

So let me get this straight... you found out he had stolen your credit cards and your car, but you still saw him again? I mean, if you found other women's credit cards in his wallet after the fact, you must have seen him again. Oh wait, that's right, you said he was hot.
but i'm like what the hell u only live once
Do you have proof of this?

Posted: 11/10/2006 6:38:47 PM | This isn't a pof story, but it is a bad internet dating story. I had met this woman and her sister in a chat room & talked them both for months. I met her sister for coffee & shopping fisrt & them met her a few months later for lunch at her house. Both required long drives by me to get to them. Nearly a year after first meeting them, the second sister invites herself down to my house for the weekend. it was a weekend my daughter would be at her mother's so I agreed to it.
She showed up not only a little tipsy, but she brought THREE large coolers full of different beers, liquors, wines & etc. She knew from the beginnining that I had never had drink in my life & that I didn't want any alcohol in my home. She didn't care, she said that she needed alcohol to fuel any relationship. I didn't want her to be on the road in that condition, so I made supper & even showed her around town. My mom was outside in her yard when we drove by & I made the mistake of stopping & introducing her. A drunk woman is NOT someone you should ever introduce to your mother! I tooke her back to my house where she proceeded to naerly empy one of her coolers! She fell asleep & a couple of hours later I did too. When I woke up in the middle of the night, she & all of her stuff was gone . I then noticed that she ripped the screen off of my screen door! She called me the next day & said that she wanted to go home & drink in peace. When she started to load up her truck, she accidentally locked my screen door behind her. She said that there was no way she was leaving that much booze & couldn't wake me up, so she tore out the screen to get back in!
That was nearly 7 years ago & I never did here from her or her sister ever again! | |

First off learn how to spell, it's Canadian (take special note of the capital C). Second It was an American guy trying to nail a Canadian girl (if you read the original post you would know that). Third I agree Bush is a pretty crappy President. I wonder how many Americans know that Bush got busted for coke posession, drunk driving, and disorderly conduct while his old man was president? | |
