English chicks are crazy fella

Not only English chicks are mental

[Kit]

I'll have to at some point.

Going to distance myself from that group also as its like a hornets nest.


In the my head I was thinking this would all go stealthy and slick james bond style.

Reality.




This has totally ****ed my weekend also. Was invited to her house with some friends.





Still want to go...

Hmmhmm 'Crazy me once, shame on you. Crazy me twice, shame on me'

Read all your posts back then decide whether you should go lol

[Kit]

Yes. You're right. It will defo turn into a fireworks fest with the three of us there and the potential for me getting either shot down (for a fourth ****ing time) and things turning nasty are high.















I still want to go though...

On the bright side you could still get something out of her, call it a revenge pump up for all the headaches. Then drop a grenade in that pit of vipers and get out of dodge.

Unless its all just a set up on your behalf, hmmmmm. Tread carefully.

Amen.

[Kit]

Nothing to see.

[grain-flavour]

I'd still go. Really, what's the worst that could happen?

[dazzling_bubble]

How did I know you were going to say that? If you can willpower through it I'd stop all contact with all of them and not go but wait to see who contacts you to ask where you are etc, you never know you might be surprised?

What a question lol

[randombs]

I agree with bubble.

Burn that bridge.

Recreate the scene in Tropic Thunder where the bridge gets blown to smithereens and Jack Black is lying there shouting MY ASS! MY ASSS! in slow motion

Seriously.

In August this girl I'd gone out with earlier in the year wanted to have dinner with me.

I was pondering it, just to prove to myself there were no more feelings(also to show her I had no more feelings for her), but decided not to and was better for it because just after that my girlfriend(friend at the time) got back in touch to say she was leaving the country.

Funnily enough, I'm actually meeting my girlfriend's parents next week. They've invited me to stay at their place, which is a very good sign indeed. They seem to have no problems with their daughter dating a non-Japanese guy (I have more than a few friends whose girlfriend's parents refuse to even meet them).

I'm more than a little nervous about it, to be honest. I have no reason to be - they seem to be making a real effort to prepare for me visiting, her mother is cooking food, her brother is buying drinks and is looking forward to being able to speak a bit of English, but I want to make a good impression. Trying to make sure I get the etiquette right e.g. bringing a gift etc.

Just a quick update, this went way better than expected! Her family was really really nice to be, pretty much treating me almost like their own son. They prepared so much for me, seemed genuinely happy that their daughter is dating me (a real relief after some of the problems that my friends have to go through with their Japanese girlfriend's parents). Her father seemed to approve too, which was obviously a concern. Got most of the etiquette stuff nailed (bar some embarrassing moments like putting my shoes the wrong way around in the porch, wearing the house shows in the tatami room etc.). I think I might have overdid it with the gift-giving because they gave me some very expensive local sake before I left! I stayed up quite late drinking and chatting with her brother until I decided I better join the girlfriend upstairs.

I can't drive, so my girlfriend drove us around. We visited her 90 year old grandmother. Now my girlfriend already lives in a relatively rural area surrounded my rice paddies and her house is extremely traditional Japanese, but her grandmother's house was like stepping into a Ghibli movie, I've never seen such a traditional house in the flesh. She was very nice to me, too! We also went to the beach near her house, drove around the mountains for a bit, and watched The Great Gatsby a bit earlier today.

My single apartment back here in Kyoto *she lives in the next prefecture over) suddenly feels much more lonely than it usually does!

Behind your back they are planning your downfall..

[Baseley09]

They eat raw fish I don't think it's too much a stretch of the imagination that they may eat you.
