I just made the biggest one I can make in my life so far besides dying for someone else.

I have a friend named Daiva, we met playing Counter Strike 1.6. We've known each other for 3 years. And today was the first day I met her. Just now how it was supposed to happen. Her and her family came down to Orlando for the new year. I was going up today to spend then night with them, and then go to Disney with them tomorrow for the celebration. Do to a lack of communication, I thought her mom knew who I was. As in, I was a friend of hers she met online. Come to find, she never knew. So Daiva wanted to lie and say I was a friend of a friend who moved down to FL from NJ a couple years ago. I said no, and to tell her the truth, 'cause I would rather chance the truth then get caught in a lie. So she did and her mom was entirely against me staying/visiting with them, even meeting them in the park and me sleeping somewhere else. So what ended up happening was that while she broke the news to her mom I was a five minute walk away. So I'm like. I'm not giving up driving 2 hours to see her to not see her. I walked into the hotel parking lot in front of their room, she was on the 5th floor and she looked down at me and I looked up at her. We both knew I'm not stepping into that room, but she was able to come out and hang with me for like 10 minutes. I gave her a hat of sentimental value between our friendship and I received a friendship bracelet from her (Corney but it means a lot to me). So pretty much, waiting 3 years to visit her, it turned out to be a 10 minute visit and not a whole day. So I come back down to Tampa, depressed and crying as all hell. Now I'm home, and I keep telling myself. 10 minutes was better then none.

I'm sure people are asking why I'm being so emo, other may think different, but honestly. Does anyone make sacrifices like this anymore? And takes such a fall? For the greater good, and to be respectful? People don't really know what a sacrifice is until they're forced to give something up. Sorry for the soap box but it's reality, and it reality, and it f*cking sucks right now.
 
Should have lied they wouldn't have found out if you kept the story straight.
 
Crying was probably a bit much, but whatev. Bitchez and hoez. All the same parts in the end.
 
Date a grown woman who can make decisions for herself. Problem solved.

I really do empathize with you, but serisouly... are you guys like 16 or something??? I would have at least taken her out for coffee or something...
 
I don't really think of it as a sacrifice, I think it was just a bad experience.

But don't get too hung over it, don't take it personally that you two can't be together; we always miss those beautiful women that we bump into everyday but just don't know it. I think you really try too hard with a lot of things, or come off too strong imho.

I'd post more but its about 3 in the morn, more later g'night.
 
Sad you couldn't see her so long, but...
what was sacrificed? You got to see her, right?
Even if it wasn't as long as planned, you saw her.

Speaking of planning--it needed it :/ A mother can't ever be pleased to hear so suddenly "Can a dude I met on the net stay over today?" from her daughter, (especially assuming ya'll are around the teenager age?)

Either way, sorry x/

Yeah, but then all the ones you'd probably want to sleep with have been used so many times it loses the "New Car" Scent~!

In all seriousness though, it's a real shame things had to pan out this way.

Save for a hotel since the parents won't let you stay there, or if she's not so affluent go halfies on a plane ticket if your family or whoever you live with doesn't give you crap about company. :P

I know people who've met through this sort of medium who're happy together IRL right now...

Where there's a will to make it work, there's a way bud.

Good luck with yours.
 
The sacrifice was not lying to her mother and telling her the truth. I'm 18, she's 17, and her mom is literally, no offense, a Jewsih Nazi...her daughter gets to suffer for her own insecurities. And I even proposed I drove back up today to hang with them. And I did get to visit yes, for 10 minutes which I'm thankful for 'cause I didn't even have to get that, since her mother could of stopped her. Though by doing something bad, we could of spent time together more. And we're not seeing each other. Just that we have just been a 'voice' to each other for 3 years and our time to visit turned out like this. I made the sacrifice to lose something which I did, a better experience, but it will make the next visit so much better.
 
Im gonna fly to pitt to see Timwakefield this summer, should I lie and tell his mom were ol' crib mates, or tell her we bumped butts in ffxi?
 
I doubt what you mom or his mom has an effect on what you do. She's living with her mom, so she doesn't have a choice. Unlike you, I'm sure you can do what ever the hell you want. So have fun this summer.
 
Wait until you're both adults, and you make your own decisions, like getting a hotel room where you can both meet up and spend a weekend together.
 
I fail to see how this is anywhere close to dying for someone else. O.o


Like others have said. You're both young. So much more out there. Don't beat yourself up.

Who needs new car scent when we all know the older it gets, the dirtier it gets.

Excim hit it on the head though. Him and I seem to see eye to eye on so many of these Myspace issues.

Her mom wouldn't let her leave the hotel hallway. I'm sorry I even mentioned this. Cause everyones reaction is that we're some little kids or I should 'tap' every girl I like. We're just close friends who are very close and mean a lot to each other.
 
dont take it the wrong way when I ask this, but what kind of reaction do you want about this? Pity? yeah it sucks, but not really much she can do about it or you; if you're both 18 you both could move out and such, but stuff will still happen.

I don't really blame the mom for not letting you in if the daughter told her at the last min. that you were some guy she met online and whatnot, with the myspace craze and stuff I wouldn't chance it either. I'm sure if there was some sort of communication between the families excluding the two teens, it may have gone better, but i think you put all of your eggs into one basket with this
 
I'm not blaming anyone and I'm not looking for pity, I'm seeing if anyone else makes sacrifices like this. It's in the OP. Guess people focused on the story and not the question caused by the story.
