I need to vent about this because I'm so annoyed. Over a year ago I met this girl at another forum (that's why I'm venting here because this is the only forum she doesn't know about that I frequent). There is very few member's from my country at this other forum so when I saw a post of her's I pm'ed her to say hi.
I wasn't expecting much from it but it grew and we got to know each other really well, we spent a huge amount of time IM'ing and txting on our phone's during the day. We did the whole webcam thing and started speaking on the phone. We realised after a while that we could only ever be friend's because as much as we had in common there was big difference's between us (like she smoke's, I don't etc etc).
We decided to meet about 6 month's ago for sometime in Jan 2007. She is busy at work at this time of year and she is a solo mum, I was of the understanding she was going to find a baby sitter for the 3 day's I was there and get the 3 day's off work, she txt me a month ago to say the 22nd, 23rd and 24th of Jan was sweet as which I took to mean she was guaranteed those 3 days off work and she had a baby sitter organised.
So on the friday just gone I txt her and said we are only a fortnight away from the meeting it will be best if I book the flight. I was ready at the computer to book the flight online waiting for the all clear from her. She txt back and said "it's sweet as but I may get called into work on 1 or more of the day's your here".... then to add salt to the wound she said something like; "I only get to see my daughter on the Mon and Tue (the first two day's I'm there) when I work 5 day week's so she will be hanging out with us"
So now I'm really insulted because the trip was going to cost me a little over $280 USD (bear in mind I'm not made of money) and I was only there for 2 and a half day's (by the time she picked me up half of the first day would have gone). 2.5 day's is nothing especially if she had to go into work and on top of that half of the time she would have been pre occupied with her daughter.
So I txt back a few time's and nicely suggest we re-schedule a time where she can get 3 day's off guaranteed and get her daughter looked after by someone else. She seemed to ignore this suggestion so I lost it with her and told her where to go.
Do you guy's think I was being unreasonable?
