I have been talking to a friend for about 5 years online. Since we go to her state every year I would love to meet up with her.
We have tried to get together for 3 years now and 2 days before we were supposed to meet this time, I was already within 2 hours of her, she called and left a message saying something had come up.
I kind of feel like she is blowing me off. We actually had a date for later this summer to meet but we had to change our vacation around because my husband couldn't get off work.

If someone was coming in from out of state, like 6 states away, would you do your best to meet up with them, even if it meant rescheduling a weekly appointment?

I have to agree with you, it sounds like she is blowing you off. I think it is rude to wait 2 days before the visit to cancel on you. After all, you are scheduling this within your vacation and could have made other plans for something you or a family member also wanted to do but was short on time. See if she takes the first step to invite you after you get your new vacation schedule. If not, I would just forget about it. Let it be.

It might be another 2 years before we go down there so it might be a while before we would be able to meet up again. Oh well.


myLot reputation of 95/100. kareng (3747)   ranked 1,925 out of 12,072 in friend  4 years ago

Her loss. It sounds like you are th one that always makes the plans. Why not let her come to visit you?


myLot reputation of 99/100. surveygrrl (802)   ranked 300 out of 12,072 in friend  4 years ago

Yes, I dount she will come to where I live because she has no family here and it is not very touristy.

Oh I can't believe this has happened to you. That was very inconsiderate and just to leave a message and not to talk directly too very rude. I would be so upset especially after travelling all that way to see them. If I had an appointment I would reschedule for something like this most definitely, I take it you will maybe be not so friendly with her after this let down but it may have been an unavoidable appointment. Find out the true explanation of the cancellation first and if it is not reason ebough drop her. Ellie :D

The day that we had planned ot meet, she did have a good excuse, though I wnder if it was a lie. I guess I will never know.
There were other days that I am sure we could have met even if only for a couple hours.
She said I could call her back but I found no point since we couldn't meet.

i think no. i will not going to postpone my schedule just to meet in person some one i talked to online though we have been really long time friends online and anyways how did you become friends online. have you know each other in forums. cause most of my friends online are those people i have talked to here on this site and in different sites that i have joined to earn money. mostly we just share tips on how to earn online . and there are many who are just living near my place but still we have not agreed to meet cause i really don't want to meet them cause i know that it is really better that we just remain as friends online and that there is not really any benefit for me if i will going to meet them cause that will not really going to help me to earn more online. and so not unless they can really teach me how to earn more online by meeting up and if they have so many knowledge to share i will surely want to meet them only for that reason and nothing else. i really have not developed good relationship on people i have been talking too online. our relationship is not really that personal we are more about business relationship though i really enjoy this relationship. cause we are able to help each other and we are able to help improve our lives. and so we are really good friends only online. and not of us have initiated to meet each other. and none is really interested any ways, i really understand the way you want to meet your friend online in person i think though some people are really cautious to meet someone they have talked to online and so try to understand that if the person of your chat mate is really avoiding or keep postponing the date or keep giving reason because if it is not really easy to meet some one you have just talked to online.


myLot reputation of 99/100. surveygrrl (802)   ranked 300 out of 12,072 in friend  4 years ago

We met on one board and then a group of us went and go a private board. We have talked about everything and anything and have shared a lot with each other. A lot of pictures of us and our kids, ups and down, everything.
We send each other things in the mail an I would consider any one of them close friends.
Not just an aquaintance but someone I would truly consider a friend.

I guess I am more reserved on who I call friends.

I'm sorry for your case. If I'm your friend, I'll try my best to reschedule as it's not easy to meet for both of us. I have one friend visited me this weekend, she's here for business trip. Initially, I plan to spend my weekends on mylotting, but since she's here I choose to accompany her. I think that's more worth.

Even if I can't reschedule it, I'll bring my friend along. She might feel bore or not use to the new situation, but I'll explain to her that it's the best I can do to make this appointment.


myLot reputation of 99/100. surveygrrl (802)   ranked 300 out of 12,072 in friend  4 years ago

The appointment that she could have rescheduled, at least I am pretty sure because my son had the same thing weekly and we would either reschedule or just skip it since it was weekly.
I would reschedule almost anything if one of my friends came to town and that was the only timei could see them.

Anytime I hear of something like this happening with an online relationship/friendship, it immediately makes me think that the person was lying about something and they don't want you to find out. Like they told you they were a 24 year old blonde college student when really they are a 56 year old male librarian. I hope that isn't the case with your friend, and it's certainly possible that something just really did come up. I don't know why my mind always goes to the negative, but someone who almost goes out of their way to not see you sounds like they are hiding something.


myLot reputation of 99/100. surveygrrl (802)   ranked 300 out of 12,072 in friend  4 years ago

I don't know what she would be lybout because I know others have met her from the same place where we all know each other from. Weird.
I do understand how some people could lie about who they are.

I would be a little bit annoyed, and I think that next time I probably wouldn't bother making plans to visit with them. I'm sorry that she blew you off again.


myLot reputation of 99/100. surveygrrl (802)   ranked 300 out of 12,072 in friend  4 years ago

Yeah, you know the funny thing though, I had a feeling that she was going to cancel. I was going to take a nice dress to wear and I didn't pack it at last minute because I figured there wouldn't be another time to wear it.

I am sure you know the answer, surely I would do my best to meet up and of course I would reschedule what I had for the time of "your " visit. I be excited that "you" took the time to come and see me. But the real question is why she does not. Without her response we just dont know, we can only speculate. It sounds like she has some fear that if you meet, that would somehow change the relationship perhaps. Therefore, two options come to mind:

1: Prior to your next visit to her state do some research and find out where she lives and just show up. If you want suggestions as to how to obtain that info send me a message.

2: You could treat her like a familiar charactor from a book you read. When I read a book a picture of the main character comes to mind and they become familiar to me especially in books that have series like those written by say Clive Cussler (ie Dirk Pitt, Ken Austin) of like Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan. In your case, you dont just read about he you get to interact. Like the book characters you will not get to me them personally but you still get to know them. Perhaps she wants to maintain her aninimity
( I know thats not spelled correctly) and enjoys this long distance relationship because you are so far away you are no threat to her.

Certaintly there are other options but it sounds to me like you would desire to continue this relationship. So do so but you may need to lower your expectations a bit. Good luck with this!


myLot reputation of 99/100. surveygrrl (802)   ranked 300 out of 12,072 in friend  4 years ago

You know. I guess I do know the answer.
I do know where she lives, have directions, her phone number and everything else. We have shared all that info with each other.
I have already lowered my expectations. I was going to wear something really nice to meet but I just had a feeling she was going to cancel so I didn't pack it and had alternative plans for that day so it wasn't a waste.


myLot reputation of 88/100. benhilo (1231)  4 years ago

Good for you!!!!! Sounds like you are a good person to know and a privelegde to have...her loss!

thats sad..i would appreciate a friend dropping by to visit and meet me from other state..if that would happen to me then i will just re-schedule whats to come up and if its that really important then i'll just have to be late but move the time just to meet a friend...it costs too much time and effort for them so i value their time to visit me..


myLot reputation of 99/100. surveygrrl (802)   ranked 300 out of 12,072 in friend  4 years ago

That is the same thing I would have done. Thanks.

It would have to depend on what came up. A family emergancy, car trouble. That being said if you have tried to get together with her for 3 years, yes I would said that something doesn't seem right. You can always ask her to be truthful with you.


myLot reputation of 99/100. surveygrrl (802)   ranked 300 out of 12,072 in friend  4 years ago

I think maybe she was being truthful, at least in her eyes.
I am just going to get past it and not bother again.
