You left out the best part. Republicans.
Explain that one to him, and you'd have my attention.

You're expecting somebody from the UK to understand the American political system? We barely understand our own
LOL, that's spot on.
and i love the 'privacy' aspect:

-hey a thread by a StephenCampbell!
how quaint: same name as my grandson. And i drove back from the airport in the company of a good-looking foreign girl before picking him up.
could this be him? he sounds kind of creepy..
wait! he says he drove back with his aunt.
Nope, definitively not the same stephen campbell.....
How is it more embarrassing than the other threads people start asking for girl advice? I only asked for advice. Nothing that special or embarrassing happened here.
To a certain extent I agree. You took the advice, went and talked to her and seem happy enough with the outcome. And you seem to have taken the various comments about being "a creeper" in good humour too
There's a difference between asking for girl advice, and asking for girl advice while detailing your every move/thought/motive.
If I asked for advice on a guy that I'm interested in, it would hardly be "creepy" if I was looking for possible first date ideas based on his interests. If WOULD be creepy if I detailed every thought, planned when I intended to kiss him, fretted over whether he had a girlfriend, etc.
If I had done the same thing, wouldn't you have thought it was weird or that I was some psycho woman with stalker tendencies?
In any case, I don't want you to assume I believe you're a "scary" person. The more you post, the more I believe you are simply young, inexperienced, and excited. That's perfectly normal

I've already explained why it wasn't spot on at all. But gang up on me if you want. I don't care.

Thank you for recognizing this. This is really all there is to it.
All girl advice threads on here are embarrassing. Nothing but horny boys.
I agree on you taking these harsh answers lightly, though, so that's cool
"Oh she's so awesome that even if nothing happened I'd be so happy just having a summer buddy, and I can help her with her English"
She has a b/f.
"F that sh** I'm out. And her English sucks anyway"
Sorry OP that your easy summer lay didn't work out as planned. Better luck next time
I love this place.
Yeah, that's the other thing. It is perfectly normal for a guy to lose interest as soon as the prospect of sex disappears. That's just biology. I'm not embarrassed to admit that that's an element at play here. Though I would have still been excited about hanging out with her platonically if we could actually have in depth conversations in english.
And I'm glad this thread has been so amusing. I don't mind laughing along. Though as I'm sure you've all noticed, if someone is laughing about something that just isn't true, I will do my best to correct them.

Uh.. no, I never said you weren't normal. I said it is normal for guys to lose interest when the prospect of sex disappears.
So what did you talk about for 3 hours if her english is so terrible? It seems her english got bad as soon as she said she had a bf...
Not trying to hate on you, but don't try to pass this off as anything other than thinking with your pecker.
Cheers, I'm sure you'll find someone else this summer!

Well, those first three hours it was like "how long have you been here?" "how long do you work each day?" "do you have family in russia?" etc etc etc. It was random chit chatting. Not serious conversation. We couldn't actually talk about anything aside from technical details about her life or random things like "I don't like this TV show" etc.
"It seems her english got bad as soon as she said she had a bf..."
I lost some interest in the situation when she said she had a bf, but even if she didn't have a boyfriend, her inadequacy with english would have been a problem. Please don't tell me who I am or what I'm feeling. It's patronizing.
It is how you came off. You could very well not be what you presented yourself as.
Anyway, good job getting over the fear of heading over there.
i am not ganging up, simply that post depicted exactly how the thread reads.it might not be how you feel, but that's what you conveyed.
another (visual) way to depict it would be this
:
in anycase, the fact that she might or might not have a bf back home has likely little relevance in your chances with her, and more broadly, in the possibility of having fun together (whether sex is involved or not).
the fact that she is russian is not irrelevant. most of the russian girls i know have a quite open view of sexuality and relationships.
the bottom line is, if you are not having a good time with her, goodbye; but if you enjoy your time together, see her again. then what happens happens.
... this is a fun one though.
Are we having fun yet??
Would someone please let me know when we do?

Hahaha. Alright, fair enough. The thread does read that way. And it is partly how I feel.
I am curious as to how thursday evening will go, and what might happen after that. Maybe the thread should be kept open..

"Fling" means "sex".
Admit it.
Put your testosterone away or run down to the corner store and grab a Penthouse and have at it. Leave the poor girl alone.
As for any connection between the paper "chance", you're making the connection, not fate. No such thing.
Wow, I just re-read that and I sure sound like a dick. But my analysis stands, dickishly or not.

Of course fling means sex. And that is what I was looking for/hoping for. However, in this particular case, there was also the factor of simply overcoming my fears enough to go knock on her door, and that was a huge deal in itself, and I'm very pleased with myself for having accomplished it. The hope for a fling was there obviously, but I never felt like there was a super good chance of that happening with this girl, and from the beginning I told myself that the point of this is to break through my fears, and it doesn't matter what happens after that, and that is still how I feel.
I am not trying to deny that I'm looking for sex.
