The lengths you guys will go to if you think you might get some is ridiculous. Try using the big head instead of the little one for a change.

It baffles me too. The other day I was talking to a guy I met in Belgium during the Summer. I mentioned that I might go to London in mid-February (I hadn't booked it yet). A few weeks later he booked a ticket to London for the same time. And now I can't even go. Silly men.

I have the same effect on women.
Concise, expressive, and very to the point. I like it.
On the other hand, "Eastern Europe" throws up a hell of a lot of red flags for me as well. There are so many ways for you to get scammed here. You just have no idea. Be awfully careful of, well, pretty much everything in this situation. If you take the girl existing as some sign you're in the clear, you are way out of your depth. I mean, you're not willing to send her money, but you think going there is safe?
Hint: The jerky other friend is in on it, a confederate in a little drama staged to twist your emotions up and make you more inclined to do something stupid. Your jealousy, and your egotistical male need to "win" over this other guy, is a way for them to get right into your brain.
My advice is, as an experiment, give in. That is, long distance relationships don't work, he's local, he wins. Yeah, he's just a friend, but he's clearly an important figure in her life and you don't want to get in the way of her sorting that out, that sort of thing. If her situation with that friend suddenly mutates in a way that tends to reel you back in (better or worse), run for the hills. You're being played.
If no convenient plot twists emerge, then reread what AceWilfong wrote above, and probably saunter casually towards the exit in any case.
Especially since Ukraine is not in the EU, at least not the last time I looked.
The other friend may be "in on it"... or so he seems. If she's willing to scam you, she's also willing to double-cross the other guy. Either way, yeah, she's most likely playing you like an Xbox, hoping you'll think more with your Wii.
(ba-dum-tsh!)
[sound of crickets]
That's not suspicious in itself. Lots of places are in Europe but not the EU. The latter is political, the former geographical.
Point taken.
That made me laugh- TY
You're welcome, for what it's worth.
Dammit, now I have to explain to my co-workers why I was laughing.
I laughed too.
Seriously though- if you need it that bad, take the $850 that was to be spent on a plane ticket and get a good hooker. That at least seems economical.
Be careful not to come home with one less kidney! I read on the internet once...
Seriously? Who needs the aggravation. She's playin you... or that other fool.

I really dont think its a matter of someone being played. I think she really likes the attention, and she may have gotten too much at one time. But like you said... Who needs the aggrivation. Even if everything was on the up and up. The chances of us actually getting together and making it work are severly stacked against us. P.S> It's not about getting laid. I can do that here in USA... There was something different and special about this woman. Thank you guys for all your advice. (well most of you guys)
Not all guys ... some though. Girls too fwiw.
Ok let's review ...
Recently.
Online.
Halfway around the world.
Basically
In love
Like Tomorrow is saying, you my friend are jealous about a girl and a guy whom you've never met and you're signing up to a Mac forum to discuss this issue that you have here because you haven't a clue what to do?
When a girl likes attention and is fine getting it from wherever, whomever and from multiple people at once then you are being played! You're basically in love with a girl you met recently online? I don't doubt falling for someone you have never seen face to face (offline and off a webcam), but I doubt it if it happens so quickly.
I'll tell you what is special about this girl. She said all the right things to you like no girl apparently ever has. She made you feel important and when you found out you weren't her center you freaked and that's how we got to meet you.
Let her go and find another chick who can make you feel important. Most girls look real special online. Hell, I'm ****ing awesome as long as I'm online ... which is not an invite it's more of an observation.
