Mizz Layta Posted October 13, 2016 Posted October 13, 2016 I met a man on Facebook and we're meeting up this week.The problem is French and lives in Quebec and I live in Ottawa. He speaks broken English from what I've gathered through text messages. I'm not Canadian so English and French isn't my first launguage either .I speak enough English to communicate effectively with others but I don't understand a word of French, which is why I feel like we are going to have a language barrier .I'm already having hard time understanding some of his texts and often have to guess what he is trying to say. I asked him if he has skype to video chat,so that way I know he is saying who he is.He says,his internet contact is expensive and that he prefers eyes to eyes contact. Then I suggested we talk on the phone so I can get idea how the conversation will flow in person ... he said sure.We set to talk at 7pm last night but when I texted him to ask If he is ready to talk,he never responded. He just texted me this morning and said "I am real sorry.I miss your call time,I feel cheap" Are u mad? And he wants me to drive to his city ,in Quebec instead of him coming down here or meet half way..he says he is not familiar with Ottawa It's a 30 minute drive . We're meeting up for a coffee tomorrow but i'm just not sure if I should bother.I'm just not feeling it but I wanted to give it chance and meet him in person but now I have doubts
VeveCakes Posted October 13, 2016 Posted October 13, 2016 Whereabouts is he? Across the border or like, Quebec City. If hes just across the border I say worth a shot but an hr drive I dunno...he seems kind of cheap already if he cant even call you. 1
smackie9 Posted October 13, 2016 Posted October 13, 2016 Good god no. Why should you go out of YOUR way, at YOUR expense. This would never work. You can do better than this. 2

Lansing Posted October 13, 2016 Posted October 13, 2016 Just tell him to come to Ottawa. Maybe he doesn't know where to meet but just pick a place that is easy to park/get to and tell him to meet you at such/such place. It seems odd that he blew off the phone call (and he said he feels "cheap"??)... I wouldn't make the effort if I was you (especially being in HIS town) vs being in a bigger place like Ottawa and out in public for the first meet.
pteromom Posted October 13, 2016 Posted October 13, 2016 He doesn't seem to want to make much effort. Can't even be bothered to show up for a CALL? Can't be bothered to spend a few bucks to video chat? And now he wants YOU to drive to HIM? Nope. I would give him one more chance at a phone call. If he doesn't show again, I would just next the guy.
jen1447 Posted October 13, 2016 Posted October 13, 2016 Should I follow through with this date? Nope-nope-nope. Sth is wrong here.
Lampus Posted October 13, 2016 Posted October 13, 2016 Please DON'T GO!!!! He's not looking for anything serious!!!!!!
