Through the years here on NSG, I have made many friends, but there's one special lady that has truly captured my heart. In January, we started "dating" over the internet. Having been friends for almost two years now, we felt it was time to really devote ourselves to each other. She wears a promise ring (which I think is silly, but she insists) to show her love for me, while I think about her all the time.

A few weeks ago I graduated and had a lot more time to spend on the computer and phone talking to her, and during one of our talks she mentioned to me how great it would be for us to finally meet in real life. I've been thinking that, too.

As luck would have it, my parents offered to finance a trip to Europe (where she lives) for a little less than a month as a graduation gift, so on Saturday I will be flying from Philadelphia to Berlin to meet her.

It might be obvious, but just in case you don't know who I'm talking about, it's Whereyouthinkyougoing.

I'm excited to finally meet her in real life, but I'm worried about what my parents will think, due to the age gap we have, so I have some questions.

1) Should I tell my parents that I'm going to meet someone from the internet?
2) Should I tell my parents about our relationship?
3) Should I tell my parents that she will be traveling with me for the first week of my trip?
4) Should I tell them her age if they ask?


Also, because she wears a promise ring to show her love for me, how can I show her that I appreciate her and the devotion she has?

Don't tell your parents much, mention you might be meeting someone but leave it until after to tell them the full story. I've been in the same situation and things do change (or did for me at least) when you physically spent time together, and you'll be in a better position to tell them after (plus it stops them dismissing it as some silly internet thing).

I don't believe it. >.>

Hmmmm. Though suspicous, I'll ask.

What age are you? What age is she?

May I ask what the age difference is?

Hmmmm. Though suspicous, I'll ask.

What age are you? What age is she?

I'm 18.5 and she's 36.

Dude! Berlin NSG gettogether!

... That's TERRIFYING.

I'm 18.5 and she's 36.

I might point out that I'm a cynical bastard. Thus I find it difficult to believe (though not impossible) that a 36 year old woman is wearing a "promise" ring for somebody half her age shes never met. I also don't think it will work, in the long run, if true. That being said....

Be like a republican (the Irish variety) and tell them (the parents) nothing. "You met somebody in Europe" is all they need to know, if even that, when you get back.

Not to rain on your parade or anything and i dont blame you in any way, but i think there must be something wrong with a 36 yr old woman that wants to date someone just out of high school. Your young and adventerous and from your end i dont think there is anything wrong with it but i suspect she is a woman with major issues that make her unable to have a healthy relationship with someone her own age. While the trip and the banging will be fun for her, your young, impressionable and much more easily hurt and she should frankly know better.

Even though you don't know me, I say go for it!!

The only bad thing is that sort of age gap is OK now, but think of what she might be like when you are 30:)

Yup. I'd tell 'em when I get back, but I'd give 'em a hint. :)

I'm 18.5 and she's 36.
35, asshole.

first off, yay for you two! :)

secondly, since i don't know your parents i can't really say. but if it were mine i'd probably do what others have suggested - say a little, leave the detail out... at least at first. you can fill in more details closer to the trip


if you make it to the UK drop in and say hi! :D

Wait...are you serious?

If you are, tell your parents enough to keep them satisfied but nothing important. BS if you have to. If you aren't: Congratulations, Ruffy, that's the best joke ever. (The reason for this is that I have trouble telling whether he's serious or not)

I shotgun position of Godfather!

35, asshole.

You do realize this kid just grew pubic hair like 4 years ago right?

Who cares about age difference, he's of legal age (or would be where I live anyway :rolleyes: ) and as such it's between them.

While I personally don't believe in internet love (partially because I've witnessed it personally - the girl moved from Canada to Finland and dumped my friend after... Month or so and found a new guy in days) it's none of my business to tell them wrether or not it will work.

You do realize this kid just grew pubic hair like 4 years ago right?
And there you go insulting those people with genetic conditions which prevent them from growing pubic hairs. You, sir, should be ashamed.

Im not the one who should be ashamed here. A 35 year old woman should know better then to toy with the emotions of a child just out of High School ;)

18.5 = legally an adult.

Besides, he'll get the shagging of a lifetime before it goes down the tubes.

Since when was pubic hair a measure of... :eek:

as a mom, yes you SHOULD tell your parents

but i recommend that you dont.

they will freak out and there is no need to panic them at this point. im pretty sure that your girl is going to do you no harm.

plan on telling them as soon as you get back. be prepared for the consequences.

im so excited for the 2 of you! i hope you have a great time together.

Also, because she wears a promise ring to show her love for me, how can I show her that I appreciate her and the devotion she has?

showing up is enough.

anything else will reveal itself after you are there.

Also, because she wears a promise ring to show her love for me, how can I show her that I appreciate her and the devotion she has?

LOL This just screams disaster. A ring, love and devotion to someone you have never even met and even if you had met and seen her every single day, its only been since JANUARY and your at this point already? DUCK! INCOMING!

what do you think is going to happen?

they meet and either they hit it off or they dont.

if they do, they have a great time together, if they dont they hang out for a while then go their seperate ways.

no harm no foul.

Thats because your a mature mother. You have forgotten the emotional damage kids suffer from failed relationships. And how they get attached for the wrong reasons etc. Everything seems like a bigger deal then it really is when your 18.

I don't believe it. >.>

http://www.bbc.co.uk/cult/ilove/years/1993/gallery/340/meldrew.jpg

Indeed.

This is just so... OME. Congrats, Ruffy, congrats. :D

35, asshole.
Ouch!

yes but this is not MORE emotionally dangerous than meeting an 18 year old german girl. or dating your highschool sweetheart that you knew from kindergarten for that matter.

Yay for ruffy!

Make sure you don't end up trapped in a basement for 20 years.

18.5 = legally an adult. Not in Berlin.

35, asshole.
I was wondering where that extra year came from. I remembered our age difference being 11 years...

You should tell everything to your parents. You don't know what's gonna be like when you're there, if anything go wrong you'll have them to back you up.
You'll see how different people are in real life and how these 2 years mean nothing if you really haven't met the person yet.

This goes for both of you:
I hope you wont be too disappointed.

I don't think this will work out. You guys live too far apart and a 18 years old boy is too immature to be with a 35 years old woman.

Well played WYTYG! You've got quite a catch there - don't let him get away (i.e. don't let him go to the Tiergarten alone, because he'll ditch you for the opportunity to take pictures!)

Looking forward to the stories! And pics! ;)

@ Ruffy:

Tell your mom! When you land in Berlin...

(i.e. don't let him go to the Tiergarten alone, because he'll ditch you for the opportunity to take pictures!)


I swear i read that at first as, dont let him go to the kindergarden alone.

And how they get attached for the wrong reasons etc. Everything seems like a bigger deal then it really is when your 18.
Hey, I resemble that remark! These really are double Ds.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/cult/ilove/years/1993/gallery/340/meldrew.jpg

Indeed.
:p

Hey, I resemble that remark! These really are double Ds.
How were we supposed to know that? :confused:

How were we supposed to know that? :confused:
Ask Straughn.

I look forward to seeing pictures of little WhereyouthinkyouRuffino's scampering about the mansion.

Both of you are double D breast size, the children should be magnificent.

Ask Straughn.
Did he save that picture of your cleavage from years back, or what?

I'm confused =(

I swear i read that at first as, dont let him go to the kindergarden alone.
Well, that would also be true, wouldn't it?

Hey, I resemble that remark!
It really was a nice big remark, wasn't it? ;) :p

I look forward to seeing pictures of little WhereyouthinkyouRuffino's scampering about the mansion.

Both of you are double D breast size, the children should be magnificent.

:D :fluffle:

First of all: Congratulations!

You might want to hold off on telling your parents anything a'tall other than "I'm going to Europe." Of course, this does leave the problem of "Oh, that's lovely! What's the occasion?"

Best of luck, though.

1) Should I tell my parents that I'm going to meet someone from the internet?
2) Should I tell my parents about our relationship?
3) Should I tell my parents that she will be traveling with me for the first week of my trip?
4) Should I tell them her age if they ask?


I would recommend a 'yes' to all four, although for the last two you might want to hold back unless they ask about it directly. The way I figure it, having a healthy communications regime with one's parents just about always ends up being better than not having one. Surely they have noticed you hanging around this website- It makes sense to mention to them that on your trip you might get to meet another person from the site who you have always wanted to see in person. Whether you mention or not who you are with, in the unlikely event that something bad happens either to you or at home, you really should let the parents know where you will be over the course of your trip.

I don't think this will work out. You guys live too far apart and a 18 years old boy is too immature to be with a 35 years old woman.

Depends on what you look for in the relationship. The age and locationgap will provide for interesting different viewpoints.

My view: the guy is 18+. The girl is 18+. What they wish to do with eachother is their own damn business.

Doot, de doo doo doot doo, doo doot doo doo, doo doot doo.
Deet de dee deet dee dee, dee dee dee.

Best of luck on your trip.

Oh my freaking god Ruffy...I was so totally going to amaze NSG with news of my impending (totally going to be webcasted for NSG) wedding and you just stole my thunder.

:p

You sneaky bastard...were you going to tell us this in chat yesterday?

This rawks hard :D

Ruffy is 18 going on 40 so I can see it working
I think that he's sort of European material too


Congrats - I hope you ahve a lot of fun


Don't tell your parents anything until after you get back. Then just tell them what you think is important to tell them.

as a mom, yes you SHOULD tell your parents

LG is a mom?

Don't tell your parents. Unless you're worried that WYTYG might actually be a serial killer luring you to her den for the slaughter...and unless the above doesn't turn you on anyway.

Seriously, there are some things my parents were quite happy to only find out about many years after the fact.

How did you get WYTYG to go along with this? GENIUS!

35, asshole.

Owned.

Much.

Seriously, I hope it works. =D

Congratulations, guys!
(I'm invited to the wedding, right?)

Congratulations, guys!
(I'm invited to the wedding, right?)

I am so calling bridesmaid! :p I don't want to be on the same side as Ruffy: if that means wearing a dress, so be it.

*pictures*
You might look cute in a dress, go for it.

Personally, I'd say that it would be good if you could tell your parents.

If you feel you can't, or wont, I would definitely recommend that you at least keep them informed of where you are if not who you're with. If you feel the need to hold back, keeping a trustworthy friend back home informed and able to contact you would be a good idea.

Oh my freaking god Ruffy...I was so totally going to amaze NSG with news of my impending (totally going to be webcasted for NSG) wedding and you just stole my thunder.Wait a second...

Don't say anything until you meet and find out if you're as compatible in real life as you are online. Then if it goes well, tell your parents in a "And we're in love and everything's great and she didn't turn out to be a huge bloke who tried to kill me!" way.

Wait a second...

*whistles innocently*

*runs around arms flailing wildly*

"And we're in love and everything's great and she didn't turn out to be a huge bloke who tried to kill me!"
A legitimate concern.

I remember back in the day when first dates were dinners.

I remember back in the day when first dates were dinners.

Aye, Burger Hut was yer only man.....

*whistles innocently*
Bad Sin! No buiscuit! :mad:

tell your parents you going on a date with me instead...(NS Europe meet or else!)

also:


I'm sweating like WYTYG in a nursery
I've got more jumpers than Ruffy on Valentines
what has 18 balls and 3 pubic hairs? WYTYG's slumber party
what does Ruffy have in common with Arthritis? they both leave the elderly sore in the morning

Im not the one who should be ashamed here. A 35 year old woman should know better then to toy with the emotions of a child just out of High School.

Perhaps. Some folks remain children LONG after high school. I'm headed to my 20th reunion this September, and I know I'll see a few cases of exactly that. Chronological age is but one potential indicator of suitability for, well, anything really.

LOL This just screams disaster. A ring, love and devotion to someone you have never even met and even if you had met and seen her every single day, its only been since JANUARY and your at this point already? DUCK! INCOMING!

It screams disaster to you, grumpy-pants. Think of how boring life would be if everyone were mainstream and nobody's level of maturity varied at all, ever. You're grafting your own experience onto that of others and hammering that graft in with you "should" mallet. Even you should know better.

I don't think this will work out. You guys live too far apart and a 18 years old boy is too immature to be with a 35 years old woman.

Sez you. Perhaps YOU at 18 weren't mature enough. Who are you to speak for anyone else but you?

Depends on what you look for in the relationship. The age and location gap will provide for interesting different viewpoints.

My view: the guy is 18+. The girl is 18+. What they wish to do with eachother is their own damn business.

Or, in the words of Jimmy Durante, "why can't everybody leave everybody else the hell alone?"

Doot, de doo doo doot doo, doo doot doo doo, doo doot doo.
Deet de dee deet dee dee, dee dee dee.

Best of luck on your trip.

What's that you say, Mrs. Robinson?

Or, in the words of Jimmy Durante, "why can't everybody leave everybody else the hell alone?"

Or the words of Jackie Moon: "ELE! Everybody love everybody!"

Sez you. Perhaps YOU at 18 weren't mature enough. Who are you to speak for anyone else but you?Why is everyone assuming that Ruffy might be mature enough for WYTYG? Isn't the theory that WYTYG is immature enough for Ruffy just as plausible?

That's my perspective :D

You go, Demi-WYTYG!

Why is everyone assuming that Ruffy might be mature enough for WYTYG? Isn't the theory that WYTYG is immature enough for Ruffy not just as plausible?

I'd thought of that, but hadn't posted it. Thanks for rectifying that glaring omission.

Thats because your a mature mother. You have forgotten the emotional damage kids suffer from failed relationships. And how they get attached for the wrong reasons etc. Everything seems like a bigger deal then it really is when your 18.

Ain't that the truth? On the bright side, I'm pretty sure that by now I'm past the hormone storm that puberty invites. At least I think so.

What age does the testosterone settle down anyway?

LG is a mom?

NSG's best kept secret. http://img117.echo.cx/img117/1743/smile0094tm.gif

I am so calling bridesmaid! :p I don't want to be on the same side as Ruffy: if that means wearing a dress, so be it.

Can I go? I need to hit on the bridesmaids. Sans Fleckenstein, of course. No offense.

I'm waiting for the "You just got Punk'd" moment......



....still waiting.....

We expect you to supply NSG with pictures of the encounter.

It screams disaster to you, grumpy-pants. Think of how boring life would be if everyone were mainstream and nobody's level of maturity varied at all, ever. You're grafting your own experience onto that of others and hammering that graft in with you "should" mallet. Even you should know better.
Even adults under 20 crazy enough to wear a promise ring to show their devotion to some one they never met scared me off.
Or are we correlating maturity and craziness.

What age does the testosterone settle down anyway?

Well, first he has to meet someone he really loves and wants to spend the rest of his life and raise kids with -- y'know, we all get the instinctual prod to settle down at different ages.

Even adults under 20 crazy enough to wear a promise ring to show their devotion to some one they never met scared me off.

Not at all.

Again, I've known adults at 18 who were infinitely more mature than adults at 40. The US President comes to mind.

I have first hand experience with falling for someone without ever meeting them. It happened all the time when travel was neither fast nor cheap and the content of a person's character could be assessed by how they comported themselves on paper. Why is it so odd or crazy?

All I have to say is ignore the naysayers, older women are awesome. Seriously, enjoy the experience, I know I did.

75, asshole.

Fixed.

1) Should I tell my parents that I'm going to meet someone from the internet?
2) Should I tell my parents about our relationship?
3) Should I tell my parents that she will be traveling with me for the first week of my trip?
4) Should I tell them her age if they ask?

Also, because she wears a promise ring to show her love for me, how can I show her that I appreciate her and the devotion she has?

1) no. if anything, tell them after you come back.
2) no. if anything, tell them after you come back.
3) no. if anything, tell them after you come back.
4) no. if anything, tell them after you come back.

at least, withhold the details. send them cards and letters "I made a friend today... her name is..." and include a pic. "She's showing me around her town."

as for what you can do to show her you appreciate her? take something from pittsburge that you know she'll like.

*whistles innocently*

Pfft! Damn uppity youngins. Next thing you know you'll go get pregnant and have a couple of children. Mark my words!


*Thumps tome o' laws*

*knows the mind blowing truth of it all*

Shotgun weddi-... I mean, date? :eek:

This just makes me think of Eurotrip...when he goes in that Sex shop, lol...

Hope he remembers the safeword...

When I was 22 I was seeing a 36 year old woman.

Just because mine was a mental Finn it doesn't mean your's will end in disaster.

And she was a fantastic lay.

This just makes me think of Eurotrip...when he goes in that Sex shop, lol...

Hope he remembers the safeword...

Crazy European Sex?

-snip-

Ruffy, I'm going to tell you something I've never told you before, and I need you to listen really carefully to what I say. You MUST NOT go to Europe to meet this woman. I know how excited you are by the possibility of meeting her and how tempting the whole experience is, but it is essential that you listen to me. You see, that woman and I used to be lovers.

It all started a couple of years ago now, when I was new around here. The two of us hit it off almost immediately - I really liked her, and thought that she really liked me. She would always leave nice comments about posts I made, or tease me about something I'd said. We'd have these little 'in jokes' that we'd leave in threads, and have a great time knowing that no one else knew what we were talking about. I'd log on here religiously to see if she'd TG'd me or made any replies to the things I'd said.

Then, one day, she did send me a telegram. She told me that she thought she was falling in love with me, and wanted me to come to her so that we could meet. I was absolutely over the moon, as you can imagine. I was so excited by what was happening that I spent pretty much every free minute that I had planning what was going to happen. After just a few days I set off without telling anyone.

She met me at the station when I arrived, and, well, things happened. Let's just say for the first few days I thought I was in heaven. She took me to this hotel in town and told me that I could stay there with her, and that she would pay the bill for however long I was there, even if that was forever. She would tell me that she loved me, and wanted to be mine forever. I couldn't believe how lucky I was to have found her, and had the best week of my life. I never wanted it to end.

Then, one day, I found that one of my credit cards was missing while she'd gone out to work. I was a bit puzzled by this, and asked her if she'd seen it when she got back. She told me that she was really sorry, but she'd taken it while I was still asleep because she needed some things for work and couldn't find her purse. But she said not to worry - she hadn't bought anything with it after all because she didn't know my PIN. She asked me to tell her in case she needed it again, and, the idiot I am, I told her.

The next day I woke up and she'd gone to work again. As I got up, I realised that my whole wallet was missing this time, cards, cash and all. She didn't come back to the hotel that night. I couldn't call her, or find her in any other way. After another night, she still wasn't back. I had no way of finding her, no money, no way to pay a huge hotel bill I suddenly had, and no way of getting home from a foreign country.

To cut a long story short, the next few weeks were the worst of my whole life. I had to beg, borrow and steal to get home, only to find all my bank accounts had been cleared. And then, I come on here again and find she still posts, but never replying to me, never answering my TGs. The police can't do anything, the Mods won't tell me any details - she can just sit there, wherever she is, mocking me from behind her screen while spinning her web around the next victim.

Please don't let that be you, Ruffy. You're too good a kid. Stay well away, and don't come to Europe.

Hm. Popcorn anyone?

*Snip*

Wait, that was her? This is her? :eek:

Wait, that was her? This is her? :eek:

Yeah. I've tried to keep it quiet before, but I can't stand back and just watch her do it to yet another guy.

35, asshole.

Oh dear... a lovers quarrel :D

Take a box of nice chocolates and hope the Kiss-and-Make-Up sex is worth it ;)

As to telling the parents, I'd leave it as "mom, dad, I want you to meet my fiancee, we were gaming online so decided to meet up since we were in the same city when I was over there on my trip"

I must admit i expected disaster during the trip not before it even started. Ruffy sounds like you found yourself a Black Widow! Gratz!

*whistles innocently*

I thought you were married. Heavens, I can't keep up...

Hm. Popcorn anyone?

*grabs a handful, settles back*

I am so calling bridesmaid! :p I don't want to be on the same side as Ruffy: if that means wearing a dress, so be it.

Okay, fine, but I'm claiming godparent duties for the first little mini-Ruffyouthinkyougoing.

Congrats, you two crazy kids! :D

Oh please, it was nothing like that. You practically forced your money on me for showing you such a good time.

:eek:

:eek:

Sums it up in a single smiley.

:eek::eek:

Oh please, it was nothing like that. You practically forced your money on me for showing you such a good time.

I just wanted to make you happy. Even when you said you liked your lovers to do those... things to you, I didn't say no.

Philosophy, i gotta know, how old are you? Im guessing the next victim will be 18 years and 7 minutes old.



EDIT: Now its starting to sound fake. And Ruffy has said nothing on this entire thread and he cant shut up for a minute.

Chris Hansen? What are you doing here?

I don't care what Phil says about you, WYTYG. You and I will always have that weekend in Paris last year; I'll never forget the sunlight on the Seine, the fresh hot crepes we ordered in bed, the cute waiter named Jean-Michel who brought them to our hotel room and then hopped into bed with us, singing "Alouette" as he stripped off his adorable French underoos. Oh, the memories...

By the way, I think that nasty infection finally cleared up. That's a relief, huh?

Every time I read this thread, I can't help but to :D It's so.... touching.

It's the love, man, it's totally the... love.

:D

Has General really gotten this boring?

If you like we can go back to threads about gun control and Christian conspiracy.

Has General really gotten this boring?
Don't look at me, I'm not here much.

Damn it! *shakes fist* You damn pranksters!

Don't look at me, I'm not here much. Nor I, and a light bulb flickers above my head . . .

Ok, so either this is a brilliant joke concocted by these three and a few extras, or suddenly NSG turned into the Bold and the Beautiful.

Either way, I love this place.

All I have to say is ignore the naysayers, older women are awesome. Seriously, enjoy the experience, I know I did.

As did I, truer words are seldom spoken.

As for the OP/Philo soap opera. It is only my long experience in NSG that kept me from swallowing that hook. Congrats, though -- you had me for about a minute. What cinched it was the fact that Philo is classier than posting something so private anywhere but a TG directly to Ruffy.

That was one awkwardly awesome minute, though. Thanks.

At first it all seemed to be so romantic, but in the end it was just another case of vile mockery. Oh, well... nothing to see here, move along.

Ruffy…snip…Europe.

And then you woke up in a tub of ice…

At first it all seemed to be so romantic, but in the end it was just another case of vile mockery. Oh, well... nothing to see here, move along.
It's Ruffy. How romantic could it be?

How the hell should I know? It's not like Ruffy is as well-known as Lunatic Goofballs or Conserative Morality. By the way, is it a coincidence that his nick seems to be a good name for a dog?

Here, Ruffy! That's a good boy! Do you want a treat, Ruffy?

Qui, ma petite poubelle. http://generalitemafia.ipbfree.com/uploads/ipbfree.com/generalitemafia/emo-wub22.gif

Je te souviens toujours, ma guenon d'amour. :fluffle:

I was hoping for at least 20 pages :(

I expect an invite and an open bar at all of these weddings. Or you can just send me booze. Your call(s)

All of NSG is invited. Ruffy's loaded. He'll pay.

All of NSG is invited. Ruffy's loaded. He'll pay.
He's already loaded? I didn't even know the bar was open . . .

Meh. Been there, done that, Got a wedding ring to show for it. Didn't get to go to Europe though.:(

All of NSG is invited. Ruffy's loaded. He'll pay.

Will my doppelgänger be there?

well.... which ever way it goes....

Good Luck?

Through the years here on NSG, I have made many friends, but there's one special lady that has truly captured my heart. In January, we started "dating" over the internet. Having been friends for almost two years now, we felt it was time to really devote ourselves to each other. She wears a promise ring (which I think is silly, but she insists) to show her love for me, while I think about her all the time.

A few weeks ago I graduated and had a lot more time to spend on the computer and phone talking to her, and during one of our talks she mentioned to me how great it would be for us to finally meet in real life. I've been thinking that, too.

As luck would have it, my parents offered to finance a trip to Europe (where she lives) for a little less than a month as a graduation gift, so on Saturday I will be flying from Philadelphia to Berlin to meet her.

It might be obvious, but just in case you don't know who I'm talking about, it's Whereyouthinkyougoing.

I'm excited to finally meet her in real life, but I'm worried about what my parents will think, due to the age gap we have, so I have some questions.

1) Should I tell my parents that I'm going to meet someone from the internet?
2) Should I tell my parents about our relationship?
3) Should I tell my parents that she will be traveling with me for the first week of my trip?
4) Should I tell them her age if they ask?


Also, because she wears a promise ring to show her love for me, how can I show her that I appreciate her and the devotion she has?

You liar. You and WYTYG aren't going out anymore than Jocabia and Snafturi are. :D

You liar. You and WYTYG aren't going out anymore than Jocabia and Snafturi are. :D

Wait, they're not EITHER?? :p

For me the tip-off wasn't Philo's sharing of the personal all over NSG, it was the idea that he managed to get out of France without money or passport. He'd still be sitting in jail right now. /making fun of the French

What about me and that pretty Aussie Plum Duffs? :D

She even sent me a letter :P does anyone know what a restraining order is? does that mean I should take furry handcuffs when I go and see her?

Hah! (http://icanhascheezburger.files.wordpress.com/2008/06/funny-pictures-kitten-is-not-too-young-for-chicks.jpg)

Joke or not...good stuff! :)

Is that popcorn? *grabs handful*

yes but this is not MORE emotionally dangerous than meeting an 18 year old german girl. or dating your highschool sweetheart that you knew from kindergarten for that matter.

Dammit, stop spying on me. I told you the restraining orders matter!

Perhaps. Some folks remain children LONG after high school. I'm headed to my 20th reunion this September, and I know I'll see a few cases of exactly that. Chronological age is but one potential indicator of suitability for, well, anything really.



It screams disaster to you, grumpy-pants. Think of how boring life would be if everyone were mainstream and nobody's level of maturity varied at all, ever. You're grafting your own experience onto that of others and hammering that graft in with you "should" mallet. Even you should know better.

Oh trust me, I know that song and dance. Ever seen a 30 year old man act like a six year old? It's...ugh...makes you want to slap some sense into them.

-snip-

Holey Moley, and I thought the women I hang out with were insane....

Oh trust me, I know that song and dance. Ever seen a 30 year old man act like a six year old? It's...ugh...makes you want to slap some sense into them.
If they act like that all the time, then yeah, that's annoying and ridiculous.

BUT there is no harm in preserving an inner child. My mom does that and lets hers out occasionally. It's usually quite hilarious.

Holey Moley, and I thought the women I hang out with were insane....
No, that's just Philo for you.

Also, because she wears a promise ring to show her love for me, how can I show her that I appreciate her and the devotion she has?

1) Yes. Whats the harm in that? You would be meeting a bunch of strangers in another country anyway-everyone of them a potential psycho...at least there will be someone you kinda know there. But I wouldn't tell them its your only reason for going.
2) No. Because there's no guarentee that there will be one. Sometimes people are very different in person. They act differently, have different mannerisms etc etc. You may end up deciding you're better as friends.
3) No. Because it will freak them out. Saying that you will be meeting up and she's going to give you some travelling tips...cool
BTW...I strongly recommend...and I don't say this to discredit your relationship and I don't have anything against ur potential gf. But if you are both travelling around for the week...make sure that YOU are NOT paying for everything. Make sure it is 50/50, especially when it comes to hotels.
Presents are fine, the occasional dinner date is fine. But when it comes to daily living, it will be a tell tale sign of her intentions if you are paying for everything.
4) Yeah, because if you don't tell them points 2 & 3 it shouldn't make much of a difference.

If you want to make an impression, get her something heartfelt. Something which is all about her. And something which will remind her of you.

Goodluck to both of you.

He's already loaded? I didn't even know the bar was open . . .You're silly. WYTYG didn't mean 'loaded' as in 'drunk'.
She meant 'loaded' as in 'full of bullets'.

"I don't know, but I been told
It's hard to run with the weight of gold.

It's just as hard with the weight of lead."

35, asshole.
:fluffle:
Baby's first word will be "Whereyouthinkyougoing" ...

Besides, he'll get the shagging of a lifetime before it goes down the tubes.
Bears repeating now.

Ask Straughn.

Verily, you wound me.
*sobs*

Why is everyone assuming that Ruffy might be mature enough for WYTYG? Isn't the theory that WYTYG is immature enough for Ruffy just as plausible?This reminds me of this link that Kanabia used to put up every now and again. Not the one with his eyes.

We expect you to supply NSG with pictures of the encounter.
C'mon, this is the "information age". Audio also.

Wait, that was her? This is her? :eek:

Holey moley! Straughn sobbed the SAME THING!
Actually Straughn blubbers on about a lot of things. I'm kinda confabulating that this particular topic came up. But it does sound familiar.

Thats because your a mature mother. You have forgotten the emotional damage kids suffer from failed relationships. And how they get attached for the wrong reasons etc. Everything seems like a bigger deal then it really is when your 18.

It's emotional damage that's supposed to happen.

Either way, I love this place.
http://www.americansunitedforchange.org/page/-/images/Mission%20Accomplished%202.jpg

It's Ruffy. How romantic could it be?Perhaps YOU should be opening up packages from him that come in plain brown wrappers, and you'd KNOW.
*pouts*

By the way, is it a coincidence that his nick seems to be a good name for a dog?
Weirder still is how Straughn refers to him formally as "Ill Rufferto" :eek:

He's already loaded? I didn't even know the bar was open . . .
No, she meant "pent up frustration/excitation/anticipation"-loaded.
Whatever that means.

A baby? :confused:
And if I ever feel lonely I can just look over at this disfiguring scar and think of you.
Well, that one has less bubbles and fluid than what first connotated.

*grabs a handful, settles back*

*Does the same, and then sips a soda, while getting annoyed at loud teenagers behind him in the cinema.*

This might turn out to be some interesting drama.

damn It! *shakes Fist* You Damn Pranksters!

Lol Internet

This might turn out to be some interesting drama.There has to be a sweet phrase or two she's coined on him, or perhaps he upon her, that would elicit a contented sigh from most of the skeptics here on NSG, so their thoughts and emotions can fly like little butterflies, if just the little while, reminding us that hope springs eternal.

What have I missed??

I should hang out here more often.

NSG: How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
1. Various topics
2. soothing colours
3. Cool people that I'd probably hate in real life
4. the friends I've made here
5. practice typing
6. this. thread.

well done! Excellent bedtime reading!

Perhaps YOU should be opening up packages from him that come in plain brown wrappers, and you'd KNOW.

Well, he's lying next to me whispering sweet nothings in my ear but I'm not sure I want to share those with the world. Sorry.

They might well be. ;)

All of NSG is invited. Ruffy's loaded. He'll pay.
Correction: His mom is loaded, and she'll pay :p

Sad and disgusting.
Don't worry, one day you'll find what you're looking for too. YOu just have to hang in there. :)

:eek:

Careful, Joc. Not only is he one of those Viking-type peoples, he's a lawyer, too! He'll beat you up, loot and pillage your home, and then sue you for the emotional distress caused by looting and pillaging!

Why would you sue someone you just looted? You should already have everything of value, including their wives and daughters.

EDIT: Now its starting to sound fake. And Ruffy has said nothing on this entire thread and he cant shut up for a minute.

I believe I was sitting on the grass at Independence Hall waiting for Ben and Betsy (http://ap.google.com/article/ALeqM5gb28OfoEkD3huwTAHLKX8Db5B-GAD91MR4FG0) at the time.

I'm in! This isn't one of those things where we need glow in the dark condoms, is it?
Well I guess that would be up to me. You see, I challenged Kyronea, but you challenged me, so I get to choose weapons. Now, what to choose, what to choose...

*Strolls through arsenal*
Why would you sue someone you just looted? You should already have everything of value, including their wives and daughters.
To make sure that if you ever get anything after I'm gone, you'll need to send it to me as well (or an equal sum of money). Kinda like how the RIAA and MPA works today ;)

Also, of course, as a ritual victory dance :p

I have the same genetics he does PLUS I'm living in America so we know I've been to all the best pillaging schools.

But I thought agents like you got to travel a lot..

Of course. After all, it was he that implied the unspeakable, and thus needs to pay the piper. And face the music. And sing with the fat lady. And Michael Moore.

I'm not a Søring... Well, I am, but still, I'm not.

And it doesn't matter if I live south of the artic circle. We make our own six-month-nights just to feel at one with nature :)

Pfft, they love each other.
That's hot.

FWIW, I do want to thank the people who were all nice and offered congratulations.
Ashmoria and Pure Metal, for example.
That was really sweet. :fluffle:

I'll hold you to it when I lure the next teenager in my evil trap. ;)

Protip: 'evil trap' is a euphemism for vagina

FWIW, I do want to thank the people who were all nice and offered congratulations.

And id like to thank all the people that tried to protect a teenager from becoming ensnared in the clutches of an evil black widow, mass murderer, temptress terrorist.

Well, he's lying next to me whispering sweet nothings in my ear but I'm not sure I want to share those with the world. Sorry.

Anything like in Brevious' sig?
Oh, and was it "whispering" so much as "yelling"?
And it was your "ear"?

Well, first he has to meet someone he really loves and wants to spend the rest of his life and raise kids with -- y'know, we all get the instinctual prod to settle down at different ages.

Oh, I didn't mean that. I meant at what average age does it go from "Holy shit, puberty! I get pissed of easily 'cuz of the testosterone! Rawr" to "Meh."

Because I think I passed that point and I have no fucking idea when it happened.

Oh please, it was nothing like that. You practically forced your money on me for showing you such a good time.If anyone steals anything from Ruffy I shall release a plague of Vikings upon Europe once more. Though I might just do it for the fun of i:Dt, and maybe because I just do not like French persons:cool:, well I do not like people from Paris and that is about it for my hatred of French people;).

Yet, I pray to God know dares to steal from LG because if you then the only thing you shall know is infinite lunacy and mad fun.

Some people go their entire lives without finding anyone they really care about, myself included. So I say, "go for it," regardless age. That is, if this thread wasn't a jest (I admit I only read to p. 2). :p

Anyway, the point is: anything that makes you happy is worth exploring. :)

Pfft! Nerdy pillaging doesn't beat experience ;)

You're joking, right? I'm AMERICAN. Show me the Norwegian that pillages the world more than GWB? We should make him an honorary viking, then set him on fire.

he that implied the unspeakable, and thus needs to pay the piper. And face the music. And sing with the fat lady. And Michael Moore.

I think I'm insulted. Wait... yeah, yeah, I am.

You wish I'd taught Snafturi all the things I know about how to please a man. Wait... that didn't come out right.


I'm not a Søring... Well, I am, but still, I'm not.

And it doesn't matter if I live south of the artic circle. We make our own six-month-nights just to feel at one with nature :)

Stupid and weak. Move into a cave in the dead of winter above the artic circle with a bunch of other idiots who no good reason for living in a cave and prove how tough you are. Do it now, move.

Through the years here on NSG, I have made many friends, but there's one special lady that has truly captured my heart. In January, we started "dating" over the internet. Having been friends for almost two years now, we felt it was time to really devote ourselves to each other. She wears a promise ring (which I think is silly, but she insists) to show her love for me, while I think about her all the time.

A few weeks ago I graduated and had a lot more time to spend on the computer and phone talking to her, and during one of our talks she mentioned to me how great it would be for us to finally meet in real life. I've been thinking that, too.

As luck would have it, my parents offered to finance a trip to Europe (where she lives) for a little less than a month as a graduation gift, so on Saturday I will be flying from Philadelphia to Berlin to meet her.

It might be obvious, but just in case you don't know who I'm talking about, it's Whereyouthinkyougoing.

Best wishes for you both! :fluffle:

I hope you like each other in real life. There's that body chemistry thing, can be tricky.

Have you exchanged used underwear through the mail? ... or is that something that only a freak like me would consider romantic ...

I'm excited to finally meet her in real life, but I'm worried about what my parents will think, due to the age gap we have, so I have some questions.

1) Should I tell my parents that I'm going to meet someone from the internet?
2) Should I tell my parents about our relationship?
3) Should I tell my parents that she will be traveling with me for the first week of my trip?
4) Should I tell them her age if they ask?

Yes to all. Take your time about it though, explaining how you feel about her to your parents will probably be awkward and you want to avoid that scene where they demand to know everything about her all at once.

Well, I don't really know you, let alone your parents. Some parents are very understanding and supportive about 'young love' and others just make it really hard for reasons they probably don't even know themselves. It can be kinda like jealousy.

Also, because she wears a promise ring to show her love for me, how can I show her that I appreciate her and the devotion she has?

Pizza-prank her from every pizza place in her town. Nothing says devotion like a dozen delivery boys having a pizza fight on your doorstep.

*shrug* I dunno. I ain't much cop at romance, my statements of devotion come more or less by accident.

(I admit I only read to p. 2). :p

Have a cookie. I only bothered with the OP. :p

No. You ain't got yer $$$ on yer mind, and your ho's ain't up while yer bitches ain't down.

I almost spit water on the screen. I should know better than to drink anything while reading NSG.

Jesus got in the first groin kick, sources say.
Is that the reason why sources say he had no children?

Might be, though i thought that was more oriented around writing less yelping whelps, n'er-do-wells and ingrates into the will.

I almost spit water on the screen. I should know better than to drink anything while reading NSG.There's a LOT of people who post while they're drunk, though!
... must be a suppressed gag reflex. I know that helps me at times. :p

I hope you like each other in real life. There's that body chemistry thing, can be tricky.

Have you exchanged used underwear through the mail? ... or is that something that only a freak like me would consider romantic ...
...
Pizza-prank her from every pizza place in her town. Nothing says devotion like a dozen delivery boys having a pizza fight on your doorstep.

Good points. I'm pretty sure she's familiar with the rusty trombone, dirty sanchez, Wisconsin Steamer and most certainly the missionary .... but it would help if he got brushed up on a few techniques, like the Venus Butterfly, the Duck Butter Mambo ...
Hell, make her pleasantly surprised. Make Carniverous Lickers shiver with shame and guilt for not thinking it up first.

Maybe flying in via Amsterdam and the red light district for a postgrad diploma in bed sports from the professionals before continuing to Berlin would be a good idea :D

That might be a little awkward, since Ruffy and my mom like to spin through there every now and then to make a few bucks.
... then again, it's a great idea!

Oh, I didn't mean that. I meant at what average age does it go from "Holy shit, puberty! I get pissed of easily 'cuz of the testosterone! Rawr" to "Meh."

Because I think I passed that point and I have no fucking idea when it happened.

*sigh* None of us do, friend. None of us do.

Have you exchanged used underwear through the mail? ... or is that something that only a freak like me would consider romantic.I dunno about romantic, but it sounds hawt.

I dunno about romantic, but it sounds hawt.It would kind of also depend on at least one of them bothering to wear underwear on a regular basis.
At this point, they'd be sending each other underwear they want the *other* to wear, and/or underwear they would wear if they actually wore underwear.
And/or (again) the edible type, which i think also may be the case.

I dunno about romantic, but it sounds hawt.

*bows*

The suggestion was meant seriously. I'm not comfortable with going beyond "hawt" in the explication of exchanging underwear, but "hawt" is just far enough.

I don't know Ruffy or WYTYG well enough to know how kinky they get. I'm not going to speculate about whether either would enjoy the exchange, merely that it would serve to adjust their expectations that they will like each other's smell. Meeting each other in the flesh will be a delicate moment and my suggestion might help it go smashingly, as I hope it does.

If the whole thread is a poker-faced prank the suggestion remains, as a serious consideration for any who "fall in love" with someone they have never physically met. It needn't be underwear -- a t-shirt or headscarf would serve.

As a tribute to one of the posters whose posts first persuaded me to stay here (thereafter to spend most of my productive energy here, this last year at least):

Romance is an eigenstate. It has imaginary components. Perhaps the first fuck isn't entirely the "collapse of the eigenstate" but it certainly reduces the number of components by which we define "romance."

One more hint: we don't joke about maths and physics like we used to. I miss that.

But I thought agents like you got to travel a lot..

Kinda hard to do with what is commonly called "the ball and chain". Next thing you know, I'll be trying to corral a bunch of "Little Agents" and will never make it to Europe.

*Unless I flee to Europe first. Hmm.....*
