@just me – Yeah, that sounds like an excuse to be given when stating why he would NOT come out to see her, rather than why he did. It makes no sense at all. It sounds like a made up story to me.

I think he means he could spend $200 just seeing her and having sex, or spend $200 on a local girl and be in an actual relationship that could last. I don’t know, the wording is really confusing lol.

I’m confused by his statement of: “why would I spend $200 to make out with some chick when I could buy a lot more than that back at home?”

What I want to know is how he only spent $200 to go on vacation 1000 miles away?

Not everybody is so quick to start a sexual relationship with someone….even if they really do like them. I would just take what he said at face value and chalk it up to moving at different speeds.

He sounds like he has a compulsion to play with women, for his own ego gratification.

What more seductive way to tell someone you’ve no interest in sleeping with them than the melodramatic “embittered sense of longing” & “confusion” gambit? Sounds as though he was weaned on a steady diet of old Betty Davis movies.

Yes– I’ll save you from heart-wrenching confusion by instead confusing the shit out of you!

I’d give her the benefit of the doubt. This isn’t exactly the place to be going on about her grandma dying, that’s what Post Secret is for, right? Sounds like the whole scenario was a bit f***ed up to me. Live and learn.

Yeah, he was kind of a twonk, but the OP doesn’t sound like much of a catch either. Referring to her grandmother’s funeral as a “little hurdle” is callous, then saying she ditched him for five hours…nice phrasing there, toots.

Sounds like both parties treated each other casually and got what they both deserved, IMHO. At least he was honest in seeing the distance would be a problem and not wanting to get romantically involved (although coming out for a visit totally sends the wrong message there). I had a guy do exactly the same thing to me: made a big effort time and money-wise to come see me, then decided he couldn’t be bothered. Nice.

@ Chelsea and Ali: Yipes, we slipped up a little. We checked with the OP and apparently the guy said he “could buy” much more at home. Thanks for flagging!
