Rhonald, its true I had considered telling my tale later, but I wanted to start while memories of the beginning are fresh. Also, this will allow me to ask some questions about future plans!
Just imagine the suspense I was in, living through this each day... Nail-biting suspense, highs and lows, I went through a lot! Everyone here gets the benefit of the condensed story, several months of activity condensed into several days of posts
Sujuan and Robert, I'm glad that you helped to confirm what I suspect was true. I'll continue my tale...
Seeing my girl "online" and ready for chat at the website, I joined in and pulled up the chat window. I get a simple greeting of "hello kevin" and some generic questions. Within a minute or two it became clear this person was not entirely familiar with me. I mention that I had received her QQ request and had added her as a friend. The person on the other side of the chat says "hehe OK I must go now" and then disconnects from the chat! Total time was less than 5 minutes!
This event brought me down quickly from my previous elated high to a new low, all in one swoop. Immediately I think, perhaps the QQ request I received was a decoy account, to appease me so I keep writing to this girl. I wonder if she is real at all. From things I had been reading in this forum, it seemed very possible I was being played. Ok, don't panic. I recall the 24 hour rule posting (good stuff here guys)!
I didn't wait 24 hours. But I did take some time to think. Opening up QQ, I sent a few chat messages to say hello and briefly explain my displeasure with her agency games. I did this using Google and Yahoo to translate to Chinese, and retranslate back to English to confirm my intended words. I figured if she was a real lady... QQ would be the only way to tell her my experience (they would surely edit anything I said in EMF). Closed down QQ and went to sleep on it.
The next day I received an EMF, where they tried to explain away the experience I had via chat! It said she was nervous, and did not know how to use the chat programs, and so on. I knew it was a load of garbage at that point. I did not respond to that EMF.
However, this is not the end of the story! I also received a response of several chat messages on QQ that day, while I was offline. The girl asked some questions and seemed to know mostly where we'd left off in previous EMF discussion. I translated and typed a few responses, then closed down QQ again.
The next day, EMFs had stopped coming from her end as well. But new chat responses in QQ did appear. After a few days of missing each other's "online" time I finally happened to open up QQ when she was online! Before I realize what happened we had chatted that day for SIX HOURS straight! Of course it was a bit slow going... I had to translate her messages to me, then write a response and do the double-translate (English->Chinese->English again) so I can be reasonably sure I didn't say anything stupid.
I learned more about her in this one chat than I did in weeks of EMFs!
In my next post, I'll try to catch up my experiences to the present day and supply some other interesting info. Then I can start begging for answers to questions
