Hi, I have an American friend, we met in abroad and because we liked each other I have visited him in USA. The last day of this journey, we argued and it was hurtfull. We met his friend when we had a date, he told them something akward about me and since then had been mad. He was probably joking but in that moment it was a bad joke.
I felt like I lost him in one moment, he was paying attention his friends more than me..Since then we havent been talking a lot, because I am back home. I wrote him a message few day ago about how I felt. His respond is: Sometimes I want to rewrite what was said before you came out here. I want to be more clear about what the visit was. You are a wonderful human being and I am blessed to know you! I am sorry it didn t end up as you had hoped, but I am too... You are still a big part of my life. We met as travelers and to me, as an American, it is a big deal I will always have a place for you in my heart but that place is also filled with other amazing people. You are not lost with me. You are another person on this earth that has encouraged me and been someone I needed to meet.

I am not native in English, please help me and write me your opinion for this message. Am I still important for him in future on does he want to quit it?

'He wanted to come to my country first, but he was without money' that sounds like a big excuse and then you turned up at his house, after a 14 hour flight, expecting that he wanted the relationship he had asked for...but he didn't...I am so sorry for you. You sound like I was when I was about 18 and thought a guy I met on holiday was my boyfriend.

It was a very sad time. This guy sounds like he got carried away, thought he really liked you but then realised he didn't even really know you. So he tried to back off.

Sorry you have been hurt like this. please, please forget about him and put it down to experience, he isn't worth your time - and next time you think someone is into you, please don't surprise them with a cross continental visit till you know them for at least a few months Smile

Do you mean unfriend him on Facebook or just generally?

Deinaje · 10/04/2015 18:01

I meant on Facebook. It hurst to see his posts, but I think it might be better for me to deactive my profile for a while and and I would probably try to move on without seeing him somewhere. He will stay on my friend list and when I feel better, I will be online once again and just block his posts like "unseen mode"...I think this might works and help me to forget. I will also take some time for thinking

There you go - decision made by you. Smile

Glad to have helped Smile and it sounds like you have come to a good decision. Good luck x

toffeeboffin · 10/04/2015 19:39

He's not interested.

'As an American'??! Hmm Give me a break!

Deinaje · 10/04/2015 21:05

yes this sounds weird to me also...But I am not American, so I didnt know whether for you - as Americans - is this like a common phrase:)

tribpot · 10/04/2015 21:42

Fortunately we are too sophisticated to think that all Americans are like this guy, even with his use of the phrase 'as an American' :) If you get the chance, do say 'as a European', for example 'as a European I find you ill-mannered, manipulative and pompous'. If you don't know the English word 'wanker' it is very important that you learn it from this thread!

ShipwreckedAndComatose · 10/04/2015 21:45

Ooh yes! I do like the phrase, 'as a European'.

Deinaje · 11/04/2015 08:27

haha yes, a phrase "as a European" can work:))) And I have found a word "wanker" in a dictionary and I must agree. Its very useful:D

That made me laugh over my morning cup of tea!

lastlines · 11/04/2015 10:06

Or to paraphrase Steve Martin, 'Oh honey, that word isn't spelled 'American', it's spelled 'asshole'.'

lunalelle · 11/04/2015 12:45

You sound lovely. He on the other hand does not seem to be someone who would make you happy at all! Best to move on to someone who meets your very reasonable expectations x

Deinaje · 11/04/2015 13:05

Haha this paraphrase "lastlines" is so good:D Really...It makes me laugh..a lot:)
I think that the best idea is to move on. Yesterday I deactived my profile on Facebook and blocked him on Hangouts and Google+. I feel better now. I can't see him, I can breathe. I've made a fictitious list in my head what sort of things I should do next two monts - jogging, reading, going to cinema, theatre, to be pretty for myself, take care about yourself and try to find a way how fulfill my life. I hope this two monts period of focusing on myself can help me. I hope I will have enough courage to stop this abusing.

*take care about myself

Well done, Deinaje. Smile

ShipwreckedAndComatose · 11/04/2015 17:15

That sounds like such a lovely list Deinaje, more women should do just that xx

lastlines · 11/04/2015 18:57

yes, that's a great list Deinaje and it will lead you to happiness and health and interesting times. Pinning your happiness on another person never works but finding a wide range of ways to be happy on our own (and on our own terms) is always a good idea.

Deinaje · 12/04/2015 09:59

I can agree with you lastlines. Thanks for these words:) I would like to avoid to be addicted on someone. This kills freedom.
