Titania22 Posted March 1, 2012 Posted March 1, 2012 Hey Guys, I need some hope. I probably do give off a desperate vibe these days. I need to believe that it isn't hopeless. So this is what I propose. Later this year (maybe around the middle of the year), I should just fly to LA. I don't have money for some big epic road trip across america. But I should be able to scrape the bucks together for a short stay in LA. I would like to meet up with anyone from here that wants to, and maybe we could all go out together and find proof of relationship oriented single men. I get that I would be unlikely to suddenly meet someone that is interested and doesn't mind an LDR, but I need some sort of proof, that if I worked towards being able to move there in a few years once the kids have grown, that there is a better likelihood of me finding a relationship then I have staying right where I am. And obviously, I think if I have some glaring problem, you guys would be able to pick up on it straight away in person, and be able to give me the hard cold facts. I really want to fix myself this year, and set the stage for a great rest of my life. Part of that is finding and fixing my flaws and latent negative pattern of behaviour. And the other part of it is restoring my hope (because that will go along way to helping me have a positive attitude, and make me feel like there is a point to making the effort). Somehow I don't think sitting here is going to make the difference. Please PM me if you want to be a part of this adventure. Because I really don't think it would do me much good to fly to america by myself to meet nobody and have no plan. Also guys if I am going to travel all that way, I really want to meet Sean Plott while I am there. So if any of you could help make that happen it would mean so much to me, you have no idea. Let me know what you guys think, and if you are interested in some sort of offline ls gathering in LA. 1
Ariadne Posted March 1, 2012 Posted March 1, 2012 Seriously? I've been in LA for over 20 years and well... Good luck with that!
fishtaco Posted March 1, 2012 Posted March 1, 2012 (edited) Seriously? I've been in LA for over 20 years and well... Good luck with that! Exactly... you're coming to LA to find men that can redeem your faith in humanity? You've got to be kidding me. LA is one of the most harsh places to date. Everyone is superficial and disposable. LA will offer you excellent night life and party scene. You will meet a ton of people that don't matter. But don't expect to find anything meaningful. Anyway, I'm, well, I was pretty active in the Latin social dancing scene here, before I started dating my GF. If you're into that I can take you to several salsa/latin dancing hot spots, if that's your cup of tea. Oh and your Australian accent will be a big hit with the guys here. Still won't find anything meaningful here though. But I bet you'll have ONS offers. Edited March 1, 2012 by fishtaco 1
Like Monster Posted March 1, 2012 Posted March 1, 2012 Sounds like a plan, Titania. I say go for it! And hey, if you happen to run into any extra Likes while you're out there... just sayin', feel free to send 'em over. 1
kaylan Posted March 1, 2012 Posted March 1, 2012 OP why spend all that money just to date in LA for a little bit? Sure a vacation is nice, but make sure you dont have anything else that this money could more well spent on first. ok?
Professor X Posted March 1, 2012 Posted March 1, 2012 She wants to meet this Sean Plott if you haven't got the point yet... Because trying to find faith in men kind in another country is just, well, for lack of a better word, retarded. And I don't think she is retarded so that can't be true.
FitChick Posted March 1, 2012 Posted March 1, 2012 You would be better off joining a dating website and making male friends in LA before your trip. You also might be able to befriend some Oz expats in LA. They could show you around, take you out to dinner or Disneyland or whatever. One of them might turn into love. As far as ever moving to the US, you will probably be safer and better off in Australia, given the coming economic and political crisis. The only way you could live in the US legally is if you married a citizen unless you are highly skilled and educated. Either that or walk across the US/Mexican border and work as a maid. Most Californians would rather be in Australia! Hey, you might meet an American man who wants to move to Australia, so would marry you.
somedude81 Posted March 2, 2012 Posted March 2, 2012 If you're down for a fling I'm not far from LA. I know it's not exactly what you're looking for but if you're in the area I can show you around town.
shorty7 Posted March 2, 2012 Posted March 2, 2012 Most Californians would rather be in Australia! Yep. I'm one of them.
Author Titania22 Posted March 2, 2012 Author Posted March 2, 2012 Screw LA...come to NY chica and lets party. lol Papercut is young and gorgeous and living in NYC and she hasn't been able to find a boyfriend. What makes you think I would have more luck? You've got to be kidding me. LA is one of the most harsh places to date. Everyone is superficial and disposable. Point taken. That does seem like a huge flaw in my idea. If you're into that I can take you to several salsa/latin dancing hot spots, if that's your cup of tea. Oh and your Australian accent will be a big hit with the guys here. Still won't find anything meaningful here though. But I bet you'll have ONS offers. I am about to take 8 salsa lessons as soon as I book them in. So maybe that would be my cup on tea. As for ONS offers, I can get them right here no problem. OP why spend all that money just to date in LA for a little bit? Sure a vacation is nice, but make sure you dont have anything else that this money could more well spent on first. ok? I always have better things to spend my money on. Unfortunately none of those get me any closer to a relationship. She wants to meet this Sean Plott if you haven't got the point yet... Absolutely, Sean Plott is my number one reason to want to fly to america, and he lives in LA. But given my absolute failure to make any long distance connection to him, and the high probability of rejection, I need to have more then just that to make the trip.

Hey I would rather live here for all those reasons, but for the life of me, I just can't seem to find long term happiness alone. And I wouldn't have had the idea that america and particularly as you travel west is full of men who want relationships, but think american women are undateable if it weren't for this site. FitChick thanks for the ideas though, and could you perhaps suggest what dating sites i use to make friends with (nice relationship oriented) american men.
PrincessPeach Posted March 2, 2012 Posted March 2, 2012 (edited) Completely not what I was expecting to find in this thread... It happens that Sean is a friend of mine. While I live in San Diego myself, rather than LA, it's possible I could get you to meet him and show you around SoCal a bit depending upon when you visit. Of course I couldn't make any promises and would want to chat/know you a bit before i would feel comfortable myself with doing any of that. Edited March 2, 2012 by PrincessPeach

PrincessPeach Posted March 2, 2012 Posted March 2, 2012 Try and get him to bang her, it's what she wants. That is not so likely to happen. Enticing him as a romantic interest would not likely prove to be fruitful.

OMG I love you so much for offering, thankyou. This means everything to me. I can't believe it. I am speechless. I start back at university on monday, so that limits me a bit. But I am willing to be as flexible as i possibly can be to make this happen. Thankyou thankyou thankyou.
Professor X Posted March 2, 2012 Posted March 2, 2012 That is not so likely to happen. Enticing him as a romantic interest would not likely prove to be fruitful. What if I'd be willing to pay him? She's actually attractive minus the kids.
PrincessPeach Posted March 2, 2012 Posted March 2, 2012 Heh... I am NOT asking him that, nor do I think he'd ever do that either.
Author Titania22 Posted March 2, 2012 Author Posted March 2, 2012 What if I'd be willing to pay him? She's actually attractive minus the kids. Aww thankyou Professor X, I appreciate the thought. Heh... I am NOT asking him that, nor do I think he'd ever do that either. That's fine PrincessPeach, I wasn't expecting anything like that. My intentions are honorable.
Professor X Posted March 2, 2012 Posted March 2, 2012 my intentions are honorable. pfffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff ye right 2
kaylan Posted March 2, 2012 Posted March 2, 2012 Papercut is young and gorgeous and living in NYC and she hasn't been able to find a boyfriend. What makes you think I would have more luck? I wouldnt blame all of NYC for that. Theres so many options here. I dont mind NY. Oh wells...I still think NY>LA lol I always have better things to spend my money on. Unfortunately none of those get me any closer to a relationship. How is traveling half way across the world going to do that either? Life isnt a movie....itd be more better to travel around Australia or hit up a few parts of East Asia since its right here and less expensive. Absolutely, Sean Plott is my number one reason to want to fly to america, and he lives in LA. But given my absolute failure to make any long distance connection to him, and the high probability of rejection, I need to have more then just that to make the trip.Im guessing youre a gamer chick? Cus I looked the dude up and even though hes achieved some "fame", he still doesnt seem like a guy whos pulling much women. That is not so likely to happen. Enticing him as a romantic interest would not likely prove to be fruitful. Is he gay? lol

Life isnt a movie....itd be more better to travel around Australia or hit up a few parts of East Asia since its right here and less expensive. Well I have made it well known on here that I have a preference for white guys. So I figure that pretty much means america or england, and I prefer american accents. Im guessing youre a gamer chick? Cus I looked the dude up and even though hes achieved some "fame", he still doesnt seem like a guy whos pulling much women. So doesn't that infer there is a chance he isn't out of my league then?
USMCHokie Posted March 2, 2012 Posted March 2, 2012 I'm in the area. But I'm also a terrible person. :laugh:
Tybalt Posted March 2, 2012 Posted March 2, 2012 Woo hoo! Just set up a Loveshack meet and greet party event weekend... Lol. Actually, the one time I did go to an event based around an internet site, I ended up making friends that I have to this day, years later... It was a bit weird but also pretty entertaining to actually see who was who. There were those who met and ended up with romantic relationships out of it, too.
Mme. Chaucer Posted March 2, 2012 Posted March 2, 2012 I lived in LA for 2 years and found it soul destroying. The place to go in the USA to find marriage minded men is Alaska. It's also very beautiful. Seriously. But I think you want to go to LA specifically to meet that fellow, right?
veggirl Posted March 2, 2012 Posted March 2, 2012 Aside from whoever this Sean guy is, LA sounds like a bad idea to test this! How bout Phoenix / Scottsdale.
