so, that girl I told you guys about...I have thought long and hard about it and there are a bunch of things I'm concerned with. Not the least of which being that we can't actually live together to get to know each other until next summer at the earliest and that's if everything goes 100% perfect, which it already isn't. So we have this wild, crazy thing going where we just see the best of each other when we talk and on our visit. But there are a bunch of little things I'm confused about with her, which seem to indicate dishonesty. I don't want to talk about that, but lets just say I have more red flags than brandnew and that I'm better off just a-bombing it now with a "i'm too screwed up for you" letter.
I'll give you a small taste-- she owes a little money to me, couple hundred towards a plane ticket, since the beginning of november. The reason why she owes it is a sketchy story in itself, but way complicated. So, I don't care that much that she owes me, not depending on her paying me back, but I'll admit, it's been a litmus test for me. Well, apparently all of the banks in czech republic and slovakia have cut off transfers to the u.s. in response to the looming credit crunch in Europe. :| Meanwhile, none of the expat communities have a lick of information on this, none of the news sites say anything, there's nothing about this. I can't verify it at all. Actually, all I find is news about how those countries are scared that they're gonna get asked to bail out everyone else because they've been resilient to some of the problems happening over there. She's lying. Maybe it's a white lie and she'd pay me back after scraping the money together, but it's the kind of small thing that will break an already precarious situation and scare me away. I've asked a couple times if there's anything else happening that I don't know about and she freaks out a bit and asks if I don't trust her...not a good sign.
