Family member bringing internet stranger to our house (1 Viewer)

[Baloney Sandwich]

I wonder what GM's wife's family thought when Charvik and I showed up at the rehearsal dinner.

Some of those squirmy questions had to be

answered...

"So how do you know GM?"

Didn't the dude marry his nanny from his first marriage? I doubt the fact that he invited a couple of online friends to the wedding raised an eyebrow all things considered.

This internet guy dodged a major bullet.

Bullets are sleek. This was more like a big fat mortar shell.

Didn't come to town or just didn't come to the gathering?

To town, gathering was already off limits

Did he tell her or was she like waiting at the airport and he never showed?

From what I gathered she went to the airport and did not find out until then. He never showed up, she contacted him (not by voice telecommunication of course) and he came up with some BS story.

Well, I'm sorry for her because she had undoubtedly built some castles in the air. But it was probably a good learning experience.

I do not like the idea and the wife is totally hysterical so we told her under the circumstance we do not want him at our house. My brother (her father) is not real happy about the situation and thinks the whole thing is crazy absurd of course but I get the vibe that he thinks we are being a little over the top by not wanting him in our house.

Are we being overly paranoid or doing the right thing?

Wait, what?

Niece: "I kinda know this guy and want to hang out with him. Is it OK if I do it in a safe environment with many adults (including my father) around who can chaperone and make sure this guy doesn't turn out to be a total creep?"

You and her father: "Absolutely not. Meet him alone in a dark bar where you don't know anyone else there."

Bingo.

 

[Baloney Sandwich]

Over/Under on this guys age is 14 which would explain why he didn't show up and hasn't talked to her on the phone.

 

[Guster]

Why the hell haven't they had a phone conversation?

Ask guster.

Did he send a mix tape at least?

Oof

 

[fatness]

Thank god awkwardness was avoided. That stuff destroys families.

14 or 64yr old creepy old guy, I'm thinking the whole thing could have been a game. My brother really questioned her about not actually speaking and yesterday brought up the guy was embarrassed by his accent. He is from Oklahoma and we are from Michigan, this is looking like some kind of bored creepy old guy playing a game.

This

I hope she has learned something about the absurdity of this whole thing.

Overweight girls have it tough. Fat guys can get charismatic and get girls. Overweight girls aren't gonna get asked out much. They need the Internet so awkward guys can get the nerve up to ask them out. Either that or be aggressive and easy.

Or just settle down with black guys like all the fatties from my high school.

 

[dickey moe]

Sleepover night should be fun.

Sounds like a Manti Teo kinda story if you ask me.

Sounds like she could use a pick-me-up. Like, from a crane.

Fat guys don't have it very bad. Skinny or short is worse.

In today's hipster world skinny guys have it made.

I find it hard to believe she hasn't video Skyped with him.

Did she pay for his ticket or other expenses? That is important info. It's sounding like a scam to me. Guy is probably from Nigeria.

I think it takes most women into their early 30s to have a handle on dating and such.

wat?

I'm not sure your experience is indicative of most other women. If a woman is awkward dating until her 30s something is very wrong with her.

That's what fat guys like to think.

You and her father: "Absolutely not. Meet him alone in a dark bar where you don't know anyone else there."

If it were my daughter if I could not talk her out of this insanity I would insist on also being there to meet him at the airport but as she already told me she would never do this in a million years, shes like my wife in that regard.The issue is we do not want to put our guests, other family members in harms way of some unknown nut that is willing to move cross country sight unseen.

@ "in harms way"

at worst it would be a bit uncomfortable. I think you have been watching too many horror movies or something. is the dinner going to turn into a mass murder ir something?

as the above poster put it, this would allow her to meet him in a 100% safe environment with family members there. yes it is a weird situation, but imo you are going a bit nuts about it.

Did you ask her why they never spoke, just typed back and forth? Typing is easier than speaking on the phone. You have time to go back and edit your response before hitting 'send' but speaking, you get more of the real deal. If she's still going the online route, she should stick to locals and if they want to meet up, set up a double date or have someone be there at a table nearby. I've done this before with a friend who has met folks online. I just sat at a table nearby. It wasn't because we thought she'd be in danger in a public place, but more for peace of mind, and also an easy out if I got the signal of "get me the hell out of here" in which I'd "bump" into her and take her away.

One time it was my father and I at Peets. Dad, who is of the wtf is this online dating stuff, was amused as I was trying to read her face for signals to intervene.

 

[LinusMarr]

Have this girl look me up on POF or Match, screen name "Blouses..." lol

 

[CurlyNight]

26 is young. I think it takes most women into their early 30s to have a handle on dating and such. Glad it's a non issue now.

What's the alarm set to on the biological clock in your world? 80?

I wouldn't know. And these days, women can have kids just fine in their 30s and 40s. That's sad if you are rushing because of some perceived bio clock...

 

[Tchula]

In 2009 we had a quadruple ax murder here that made national headlines. The teenage daughter invited a guy she met on the internet over. THAT's the worst that could happen.

Do not bother her, she is too busy planning her next Internet scam.

The niece needs to turn off the computer and hit the gym.

I'm surprised they let him in if he was carrying an axe.

It should have been a clue.

After one week, if you have not seen this person on webcam, they are not who they say they are. Pretty simple.

I'd like to know why they never spoke too.

I wouldn't be shocked if they met on Reddit.

Doesn't matter what dating site you go on. All the single people in that surrounding area are on it. I see the same ladies on POF and match although you get the more aggressive, ghetto type ladies on POF since its free. its more entertaining for sure....

So you were on a double date, and your date was your father?

This internet guy dodged a major bullet.

Bullets are sleek. This was more like a big fat mortar shell.

I wasn't referring to the niece. I was referring to the family, but your correction is still valid.
