I'm assuming no news is good news. For all we know OP is too busy banging hot tourists in Toronto.
Hey Dalaran, I didn't see your post until now. Sorry. I was hoping to share with you some good news and the rest of the rvd community and expected that to happen unfortunately my bad luck resurfaced again recently.
I had taken some time off from dating to focus on the other areas of my life such as money, improving skills, etc. but because of what happened with that vn girl from last year and me feeling like shit when that happened, I had renewed my vncupid account. I was just hoping to use it for some female attention until I could get my head on straight again and it did just that and much much more.
About 2-3 months after things ended up that vn girl, we kind of both just ghosted ourselves. Kind of funny in a way now that I think about it. Anyways I'm getting off topic again. I met another vn girl. One from the north actually in Haiphong. At first I didn't feel any connection with her and I could tell the same as true for her although I was pleasantly surprised at her attractiveness compared to her photos. I actually couldn't even communicate with her because of the language barrier. I spoke practically no vietnamese and she spoke practically no english. We just messaged each other on and off for a few months and she usually took her time to reply back. But then in november, I temporarily ghosted her for close to 3 weeks after she ignored my message for a week. When I replied back, I noticed a spike in her attraction level for me and she started to question me why I didn't message her back after she wrote that she misses me.
I gave her some bullshit answer and she rationalized it to be true herself, chicks eh?
Anyways this was when we started to talk alot more and she would always call me and message me multiple times during the week and was asking me often when I was coming to vn. This might have been a while, but if you guys remember, I mentioned returning to vn next year to see that other girl but things didn't pan out with her. So I told her next year. I was working on my finances and saving up money to make an extended trip there. At first I thought 3 months would be enough, but then I got laid off in the fall which put a huge setback to my plans for vn. I was planning on coming down during the tet holiday but could no longer do it because I was now on employment insurance. I would be a fool not to take it as I was getting paid to sit at home. So then I came up with the genius idea to work on passive sources of income, in this case a non-fiction self-help book. I worked on this book for months now and it's nearly complete. I also began exploring other options, in this case a youtube channel which I am going to launch very soon as soon as I get my head back on straight. I studied up on film making and cinematography. I watched vlogs from pros like casey neistat as well as other shows and explored potentially niches that I could target. I spend a lot of money and film making equipment and went out there and practiced and produced a few decent videos.
We continued talking very frequently and then she started to refer to herself as my gf and me her bf. I didn't want to commit to anything yet because we hadn't met and I was keeping my options open so I just kind of never acknowledged her or said something like when I get there and we date a little bit then we can talk about. She showed me off at her mother and all of her family and friends. I even went to her sister's wedding via videochat and she shared a post of me writing some comforting words for her when her grandfather pasted away last month on her fb. I thought everything was going ok and I just needed to get my but in Nam as soon as possible. Things seem to be going very good between and I thought this was it. I could actually see myself with this girl long term. I thought she's a good height for me, nice and conservative (she's from the countryside), and doesn't dres slutty, and has good family values. She saw eye to eye on a lot of things (does this remind you guys of anything?

) Then last month just out of blue she asked me this question
her: if she want to get married with another man soon! What are you doing when you come here?
This completely caught me by surprise. I thought it was a shit test and that I was suppose to be not reactive and cool about it so I replied likewise.
me: I have no choice. If she is serious about him, she will wait for him. If not, she will go marry another man.
I probably should have answered her like something like this "I'll put on my superman costume (this was an inside joke between us) and come and steal you away from him

"
I asked her if she was getting married soon. She said no but if she was, what would I do. She wanted my answer to that question. Reflecting back on it today perhaps I should have answered in a more compassionate way (at least that's what my old beta pre-game self would have done). I didn't think too much about it and told her I was going to be there soon in a few weeks.
I told her something stupid like, What could I do, if she went into the arms of another man. I could only move on with my life.
her: you don't want to keep me tight in your arms. You don't like me? I want to know, I waiting you a long time, if you like me a little?
I asked her what does she think? She says she doesn't know. I brought up all of the things I am doing for her (working my ass off to get the funds needed to stay in vn for nearly half a year, working on my passive income to potentially stay long-term, studying up on vietnamese (I can now speak at an upper elementary-lower intermediate level), talking with her nearly every day, etc.
She said thank you and apologized for asking a stupid question. I tried to reassure her again but she told me she was worried and said:
her: I worry about my heart if I like you more but you don’t like me, I will make my heart is hurt
I tried to reassure her again and I thought based on her reply below we were cool.
her: Oki,I will waiting for you come here and talk to me your decision, If you want to besides me, Or you don’t like me! I will waiting for your decision when you come here! Ok?
I told her that she already knew the answer to my question but she said she wanted to hear a formal decision from me. I told her she already heard it when I sang for her. Then I asked if she felt better and she said yes. I flirted with her and then she brought up the gf thing again but I ignored her comment.
After that day, she was never the same. I fucked up...
Fast forward, a 2 weeks ago, I message her because she went cold for 2 weeks. I didn't want to be like those beta guys you always read about constantly messaging girls so I kept a little distance maybe 1 time a week or something where I would initiate contact. Looking back at it, maybe I should have been way more bet and constantly message her and click all of her fb posts like those beta orbiter. Maybe that shit works in Vn, who knows. I surely don't based on my fuckup.
She sent me a video of her little sister's birthday. I immediately noticed some guy in the background beside her sister briefly for a split second. This was a red flag. I asked her who that guy was. She said it was her brother-in-law. I also could see and hear her brother in law talking so I knew how he sounded ad looked like. I questioned her further. She finally admits he's her brother-in-law's friend and that she isn't involved with him. I didn't want to appear jealous and anything so I changed the topic. We talked some random topic and then she asked me again when I was coming here. I told her when I was finished my book and videos. She said June. I said yah. I joked with her a little bit then ended the conversation. She was a little off. I senses something wrong.
One week went by no message. I don't like to double message girls twice in a roll however I really sensed something wrong so I said fuck it, if I appear beta so what and I messaged her. Again, not really much from her end so I thought I might try to guilt her a little and wrote her some beta shit like how in a few weeks I will hold her tight in my arms and kiss her while everyone looks at us in awe.
Thats when she broke the news...
her: Now my parents want I will get married soon with Vietnam man
I fucking knew it! But why didn't I act sooner? Shit, was I too late? I asked her so it was true then when you told me that.
She replied she will wait for me. I replied "You just told me you are getting married soon."
her: My parents want this
I asked her what did she want. No reply. I asked her if she met him already and how long does she know him for.
her: I meet him already. 1 month. Near my home.
me (going all beta and freaking out: Do u love him?
her: No
me: Is he the man from the video u sent me? From your sister's birthday.
her: Yes. You can see in my video. You guessed right.
She lied to me. I was angry now!
me: I know, he stole my nickname (fucking prick).
me: I wish you goodluck and I hope you are always happy
She gives me a sad emoticon.
her: You talk me go?
me: I don't know. I'm confused right now. You lied to me.
her: no
me: yes, I asked you before and you said no. but now you are getting married. and you told me this man was just your brother-in-law's friend.
her: yes, he is my brother-in-law's friend.
me: you never told me he was your fiance.
I was really angry and didn't know what to do and the other thing I could recall in my head was to do the walk away and hopefully she will come running back.
me: It doesn't matter anymore. I'll tell you what. I'll leave it up to fate. if you really love me then you will wait for me, if you don't the you will get married. Its no longer my choice. You have the decison.
her: I understand.
me: goodbye em
Her crying emoticon
her: see you
I think wrote her a some beta shit about how I had a dream about being on vacation with my parents but now its just a dream. Then I told her when I come to vn if she still wants to see me then she can call me and we can meet up.
her: I will still waiting for you come here and you will have your decision
her: ok. I wait you a few months a go and now. and later when you come here and have your decision.
me: I cannot be involved with a married woman. It was your decision to marry him. I really really wanted to come and see you back in april. I go on and explain myself for not arriving in vn yet.
her: I not yet agree with another man
her: I understand.
her: My parents worry about me
I told her I now need to reconsider my plans and told her I had to go now. "Hope you are always happy, I will remember (girl who broke my heart). Your name has my name in it (literally). Goodbye.
her: I hope you have enjoy trip in my country. I hope everything will be fine when you come here. See you soon. If you come here, call for me if you want
me: you can call me when you see that I am leaving for vn. you can come pick me up at the airport if you want
her: yes
A few hours later, she sends me two pics which I ignored. I was pissed and the only thing I knew to do was to do the walk away hoping she would come crawling back.
It was two pics of her inscribing what i just wrote to her. "(her name) In my name have your name.
I didn't bother to reply back. I didn't know what to do now. But it bothered me greatly and I wanted to know all of the details and get answers so the beta inside of me came out again and I cracked and messaged her the next day which was yesterday night.
me: I want to ask you some questions.
her: (replies 15 minutes later.) Ok, you can ask me.
me: Can you be honest with me. I just want to know the truth.
her: what do you want to know, I just talk the truth.
me: are you really getting married soon.
her: I'm thinking
My beta side got the best of me again. I saw her posting on her facebook that when she's getting married she will cut her hair short to match her husband.
me: because on fb I saw you writing that you are getting married and cutting your hair short to match your husband.
her: I'm thinking.
me: how come when he asked you to marry him, why didn't you say you have a bf from canada?
her: You are my bf?
me: I thought we agreed on this already. I told you before that when I come to vn, we will make it official.
her: You don't admit that
me: yes, I told you before. You said your my gf
her: thumbs up
me: I wanted to come to the airport and surprise you with the news as I whisper in your ear to make it official. But now... I don't know anymore. I just wanted to know all of the facts before I decide what to do next.
me: when do your parents want you to get married?
her: I’m hear what my heart want to do
me: what does your heart want you to do?
her: no reply
her: 2 months later
me: not your parents but you. I want to know. If you want to marry him then ok fine, I don't want to waste my time and give my heart to someone if they don't appreciate it. I just want to know if you agreed to marry him.
me: then... how come u didn't tell your parents you have me already?
her: I don't agree to marry him.
me: but he came to your parents house on your sister's birthday. How come before when I asked you that day you sent me a video, you said your not involved with him.
her: he is a friend of my brother in law
me: but then last time I spoke with u you told me you were thinking about marrying him
her: he introduced to me. and my parents like him and in my country I can marry.
her: my parents worry about me
me: I know they worry you will be alone and can't get married.
her: yes, they know you
me: but didn't you already tell them about me? so then why do they still invite this man to their home.
me: They don't like me?
her: And they said you don’t want to serious relationship Because you live far from me
me: Did you tell them I have plans to live close you, the plans I told you many times?
her: And they said not sure about you. I want to have more time to thinking about it. I want to waiting for you come gere. I waiting for you a few months ago now and the near future
I told her I was sorry that I made her wait but a lot of the things were out of my control
her: My parents don’t want to me put hope on you. Before I ask you many times, when you come here. I hope you come here soon
her: crying emoticon
I tried to explain that I had difficulties with my work and I showed her pics of my arms being cut up from work. I tell her about my shitty job.
her: crying emoticon, crying emoticon, crying emoticon, crying emoticon, crying emoticon
me: but I remind myself that I suffer for you so that I could see you soon.
her: I'm sorry, I'm feeling hurt,
her: sad emoticon
her: now i feel worry about you
me: it's ok, I do it because I wanted to see you. I am a strong man, superhero remember?
her: I think you can come here soon and leave soon! It’s ok. I don’t want to see you hurt anymore
me: no, I need to make enough money so that I could spend more time with u
her: crying emoticon
her: no, I think you can come here and we have decisions. When you come back your country we have a plan
me: I don't want to keep you waiting forever. So I propose we do this. At the end of this month, I will buy the ticket but it will be the second week of july. Because in june it's very expensive but if you really want to see me, I can buy the ticket for first week of july. I will show you the ticket at the end of this month in 3 weeks so you know exactly when I will come. so you have no more doubts and questions. What do you think?
her: I don't know, I really worry about you. Your work very bad.
her: sad emoticon
her: It’s make you hurt
her: sad puppy crying
her: I very sad. I'm sorry because can't help you
me: if you agree, I will buy the ticket, this will be the day I come to vn to see you.
her: I will thinking and my answer for you tomorrow
her: Take care your health. Be strong my superhero
her: Good night ? and have sweet dreams
I wish her goodnight
her: puppy holding a big heart
boy that was a long read wasn't it? I hope it was quite suspenseful though. It guess its foreshadowing something. This now leads us to today while I was on my last break from work:
her: I have my answer. I will get married soon
me: ok
her: goodbye
me: goodluck em, hope you made the right decision
her: goodluck anh
I was extremely hurt and just trying to do whatever I could to make her change her mind while still maintaining frame.
me: I was going to tell u something nice today. You would have been happy. Goodbye em. This will be the last time we will talk.
her: no reply
I crack a few minutes later. My break was about to end. I needed to do something.
me: I was going to quit my job next week and come and see you in 3 weeks. I was packing my luggage last night. I already called the travel agency.
her: sorry
me: goodbye
her: crying emoticon
her: goodbye
Truth be told, while at work today I really going to be quitting in 3-5 weeks time. I was really considering it after looking at my financials last night again. Maybe I should have told her before she gave me her answer, maybe it would have changed the answer I received, who knows.
So this brings us to right now as I type this. I just received the bomb a few hours ago and completely devastated and fucked up in the head right now.
I actually had stalked her wall last night when I was freaking out and wanted to see if she was still lying about having met him 1 month ago. I noticed that the guy was liking practically all of her fb posts and sending her liking hearts and writing comments but she ignored them. If what she told me is true then this guy is extremely beta having only met her 1 month ago and already proposing marriage. Now I don't really know what to think anymore about her decision and whether or not she is lying about her parents forcing her to marry this guy. I do know that she was under a lot of pressure to get married prior to all of these events happening or at least having a bf. She was actually going to come to canada a few months back to work in some hic farm out in the middle of nowhere but I told her don't do it. They wanted her to pay them like 25k or something and it sound really sketchy. maybe I should have done that and perhaps we would have been together by now.
Before I had received the news, I had actually gotten a message from a backup potential plate. I immediately asked if she was going to show me around when I arrived in vn in a few months. I did this because I knew if the news wasn't good I would not be able to handle it. When I got home, I immediately unfollowed her. I'm still debating whether or not to unfriend her. On one day, I don't want to fucking see wedding photos of her and that guy, but on the other hand, I guess I am still hoping for a miracle to happen and she changes her mind.
I also considered making her jealous when I get to vn by posting videos and photos of my travels as well as me with attractive girls.
I feel betrayed, angry, depressed, and sad all at the same time. Who would have thought this would happen to me one month ago. Damn, it stings. This is just like a repeat of that event 2 years ago in latvia with that girl except she never expressed these things with me and even called her my gf or anything.
I'm really torn up inside right now and not sure what to do. So guys please help me out here. I desperately need it. Should I go full on beta on her and message her again saying I'm going fly out either next week or the following week and just ask her to wait for me or should I just forget about her? I don't know if she still wants me to come see her or not based on her messages as it was kind of ambigious except for the final one today. My hunch and suspicion is that her parents and family are really coming down hard on her to get hitched with this guy and she's hoping I come run to her rescue. I just need confirmation that this is true and I'll go save the day in my superman costume.
One thing I know I definitely will do though is, quit this job within 5 weeks from now most likely 3 as I fucking hate it and have just enough funds to cover all of my expenses for the next 5 months in vn, 6 if I was frugal. So regardless of this girl, I am still going to vn and know that I will be surrounded by cute girls there and will have a lot of success especially now that I can communicate with them in vietnamese.
I wished I had some better news for you guys but unfortunatey this is all I have. I was planning on updating this journal when I hit vn but unfortunately I felt the need to ask for some desperately needed advice.
