I have met someone online & we soon plan to meet in person.
We're going to meet for the first time & stay in a private, romantic cabin in the woods.
is it normal to meet this way?
Not sure if I believe this post, but will comment with a story about fakes online.
I had been trading messages for a few weeks with a girl on a dating site. She seemed awesome and our likes/dislikes seemed uncannily similar. She finally said she wanted to meet in person and suggested we meet at a particular park bench well into the woods of a large park. I thought it strange she'd want to meet at such a remote place, but agreed to meet. Long, even weirder story short, she turned out to be my psycho ex-gf who put up the profile to try to rekindle things. She put up fake pictures of some sexy girl and tailored her profile and messages to things she knew I would like (but not like her in reality). Be careful out there in cyber land.
Nice to know you, goodbye.
Don't ya know you're supposed to meet in PUBLIX first?
Whose suggestion was it to meet in such a secluded place for the first time? If yours, why and if hers, why are you going along with it? It sounds potentially very dangerous to me: how naive are you to not realise anyone can pretend to be anything on the net?
Wow, so many posts to reply to!
I'll start by saying I totally trust this man. We've been talking for month and have established a very strong connection.
The cabin was his suggestion to save me some money. We have been wanting to meet earlier but I've had to scrimp and save to pay for his flight from Nigeria already so the thought of cheaper accommodation was most welcome.
NIGERIA?!!!!???? The home of scams ....
If you sent him the $ for his fare rather than buying the ticket for him, I'll be amazed if he turns up.
BUT if he does, meeting a total stranger at an isolated cabin in the woods is so dangerous I can't believe anyone in their right mind would agree to such a thing.
These scammers are experts at establishing "strong connections" and manipulating gullible people into "totally" trusting them. Google Nigerian Scams and you'll find you're not the first person to trust a scammer and you won't be the last.
I've read your comments before and you're nothing but a racist bigot.
I have found love and happiness later on in my life and maybe someday you can do the same if you learn to be less angry and judgemental (and racist)
True love is never a scam. My soul has been touched by his Nigerian fingers
You have me confused with someone else: you cant cite me ONE comment of mine on any IIN thread that's racist. I'm not angry or judgmental about your situation, I'm just trying to point out the danger you're in.
Have you googled as I suggested? If not, why not? All those other scam victims sincerely believed they'd found true love too and their finances as well as their souls were also touched adversely by Nigerian fingers.
I have neither the time nor the inclination to hunt down your racist posts.
I'm a 57 year old woman with 8 grandchildren. I think I know a thing or 2 about the world.
For your information he's not trying to scam me. He is a very wealthy businessman who is trying to start his own company.
His finances are tied up in his business venture, which is why I am paying for everything, but he promised he will pay Jr back.
He warned me about ignorant Americans like yourself & your racism.
I don't need to Google anything because I know a thing or 2 about the world.
You're nothing but a bitter old hag who has never experienced true love
Ellena isn't a racist or bigot. She's just trying to look out for your safety, because you aren't. There's no need to get on the defensive. You've only known each other for a month, how can you be sure that this is true love?
Why would you agree to a first meeting in a private cabin in the woods? How do you know you will even like each other IRL?
definitely not normal at all . I wouldn't be as skeptical of a hotel somewhere in a busy area but even having a room for the night in general seems odd for a first meet ... I would be very careful and please let people know of your whereabouts that can check on you if for some reason you decide to do this!
So, let me get this straight: You met someone online, who you have never met offline. You intend to go with this person you don't know to stay in a SECLUDED CABIN IN THE FOREST, FOR THE FIRST TIME THAT YOU MEET THEM?! GIRL, ARE YOU FUCKING CRAZY?! You're so naive that it's scary. You putting yourself in a potentially dangerous situation. Cell phone coverage usually doesn't work in forests. So, if a dangerous situation turns up, you have no one to call for help. This is a secluded cabin in the forest, so if a dangerous situation turns up, chances are that you'll have a very difficult time with finding someone to help you. Have you told any loved ones about your plans? They need to know all of the details invade you "disappear" and are later discovered dead. THINK, GIRL, THINK!!!! DO YOU VALUE YOUR LIFE?! YOU NEED TO RUN, IF YOU DO.
The woods? The fact that it's a wooded area makes me wonder if this guy or gal you're meeting up with is actually a psycho.
The worms crawl in, the worms crawl out, the worms play pinocle on your snout. As your corpse lies rotting near your 'private, romantic cabin in the woods'.
Though it seems you will be no great loss to the human gene pool.
You're gonna so get a stabbin in the cabin, either way.
Is one of you Nigerian?
