I few years ago I met a waitress in a restaurant on Field's in AC. I was with a girl I'd met at blossoms.com and the waitress was curious to know where we'd met. I told the waitress that we'd met online and courted for about 3 months online and then I'd flown out to meet her in Cebu. At this point the waitress went a little red in the face and told us that earlier in the year she'd planned to meet an American that she'd met online but had got cold feet at the last minute and chickened out. The guy had arrived in AC, and from the airport had called the waitress many times in the hope of convincing her to meet him, but she never did. She did however eventually answer his call, but could only say that she was busy and unable to meet him, to which he replied: "OK, I'll go back home then." She didn't know if he went home or not, but we can only conjecture that he simply turned around, boarded an outward plane and flew back to the US a broken man.
I mention this story because I'm curious to hear other tales of men who've been stood up by their online babes and what they have subsequently done. Have they, for example, just turned around and flown home like our friend above, or have they managed to overcome their loss and plunge cockfirst into the Philippines? If so, how did things turn out?
