when you tell one person you can't meet them because you already have plans to meet up with someone else, only to have that person cancel on you an hour before the planned meeting, so now I can spend another day alone??? Crying or Very sad

No.

I don't trust a person who doesn't like being alone.

happens in korea a lot. lots of potential k-dates get cold feet when the moment to actualy appear in public with a foreigner looms close.

best way is to double book, then let down the one you're less interested in at the last minute. I learned this trick from K girls actually, standard operating procedure with them.

Korean friends do not say "no" if they do not want to do something. They just say yes at the moment not to offend anyone, then make up an excuse at the last minute. Text messages make this way to easy.

Actually, it wasn't a date. It's a Korean girl friend of mine who's married to a GI in Iraq.

Yes, please call my school, we all need a good laugh round here, and at least it would confirm that you are real.

More importantly, this is totally not how the princess character you have created would talk. Just one example of many where you give yourself away.

Look, I'm not saying you have not been a reasonably entertaining creation. But socks stop being interesting when everyone on the board has sussed them out. And with you that happened years ago. You're an insult to our collective intelligence, and just plain old boring these days. You've had a good run. Now pack it in and get a new character, and try a lot harder to keep it consistant and realitstic next time. Fun for all the family...
