Hypothetical Question involving a friend of Sam18

[Sam18]

Soooo like a friend of mine is like in mad love with a girl. Problem is she's from France and he's from here. He doesn't know her that well, you know how these kids are, but doesn't wanna come off as a stalker. His plan is to go to France and talk to her and stuff. Anyways, would this be stupid of him? Just need to know your honest answer folks.

[xenochimera]

i think its romantic and flattering and if a girl came across the ocean to court me i would be very flattered. but thats just me.

[gdn]

Yeah, it's stupid.

[JDPNYY]

They doesn't call it the World Wide Web fer nothin'

[Luvtino]

Does he know her in person or is this someone he met on the Internet and wants to get to know better?! I do think it is romantic, but if he doesn't know her in person I would be sure to talk on the phone A LOT before going all that way.

[NYYDragoon]

A friend of mine fell in love with a girl from Ireland after meeting and spending only a week in the states with her. He went to visit her a few months later, and now they're official.

Although it sounds crazy and storybook, tell him to go--it can work. (That is, if he actually met her in person first).

He knows her through a friend. They all went drinking once.

[gdn]

So why is this "hypothetical", again?

[NYYRules#1]

I would, if I were him, try to contact her via the internet and establish a friendship first - if a relationship develops there, all the better - and then go over to see her. I wouldn't make that trip for someone I barely know, though, or that barely knows me for that matter.

[Sam18]

So why is this "hypothetical", again?

Good question. I have no idea.

[gdn]

Good question. I have no idea.

You're the one that came up with the title...

[Sam18]

You're the one that came up with the title...

Another excellent point. I still have no idea.

[Trish]

That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard.

[gdn]

Another excellent point. I still have no idea.

Okay then...

[In Mo I Trust]

That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard.

He should go out drinking again and find somebody he likes from this continent.

[Sam18]

Okay then...

Alright.

[26More]

Is she loves him, she should shave her friggin pits and come here.

[NYYDragoon]

Another excellent point. I still have no idea.

Because it's actually you, isn't it?

[Sam18]

Because it's actually you, isn't it?

No see if it was me I would be limewiring it up already. Plus I'd never, ever, ask nyyfans for advice on anything.

[jlw1980]

Is this friend the same one who asked about the Rosetta Stone (French) software the other day?

Kidding. The romantic in me would like to think that it would work out, but in reality it probably wouldn't. Does she know that he's planning to visit? Showing up there without talking to her first would be very stalker-like.

[JeterRodriguezSheff]

Prediction: Everbody who picks the first option will be a female.

Correction: The one person who picked it thus far is male.

It was a joke...

[jlw1980]

It was a joke...

I know.

[Yankeeah]

It was a joke...

No it wasnt cause most people who read through the thread probably thought the same thing myself included.

[MassNYYfan]

30 minutes of limewiring french porn and then ask him if he still feels the same way.

If he does, it is obviously true love.

[JeterForPresident]

I dont care for the French...may I suggest a trip to Thailand of the Phillippines.

[__starr69]

He should go out drinking again and find somebody he likes from this continent.

And someone who shaves her armpits!

[__starr69]

Is this friend the same one who asked about the Rosetta Stone (French) software the other day?

What I wanna know is this girl banging her brother?

[RhodeyYankee2638]

There is a reason why the divorce rate is at 50%

[yankeebot]

He should go for it. Life should be an adventure.

[KLJ]

agreed..

[4bronxbombers]

Correction: The one person who picked it thus far is male.

heehee

[4bronxbombers]

My thoughts exactly. Take the risk. What does he have to lose? Just have a back up plan once he gets there if it doesn't work out or they don't click.

[fredgmuggs]

Let's see.... he wants to go all the way to France to profess his love to a girl that hardly knows he is alive.

Oh yeah, that's going to have a happy ending written all over it.

[IronCaballo4]

Tell him to bring deodorant

[NewEraYanks2527]

Ain't that the truth. Your "friend" should get some French porn and realize women are trouble and to not ever get hung up on just one. Take the advice from the Grandfather in Little Miss Sunshine.

[Hitman23]

I'd so love to be there when she sprays mace in his face.

[Stick Michael]

...may I suggest a trip to Thailand of the Phillippines.

This line of thinking comes from asking one's self, "What would Billy Idol do?" Not a bad idea in this case.

[YankeePride1967]

This isn't a friend of Sam. This is Sam. Come on Sammy, tell us how you guys met.

[NewEraYanks2527]

This isn't a friend of Sam. This is Sam. Come on Sammy, tell us how you guys met.

Batman/Metal Gear Solid chat room.

[Sam18]

Yo its not me. Trust me I'd never do this on nyyfans of all places. And I definitely wouldn't chase a girl all the way to France.

[fredgmuggs]

This isn't a friend of Sam. This is Sam. Come on Sammy, tell us how you guys met.

That's my suspicion as well.... and I guarantee you that Sophie Marceau wants no part of Sam.

[Sam18]

I'm impressed Tom knows who Sophie Marceau is.

[Hitman23]

Yo its not me. Trust me I'd never do this on nyyfans of all places. And I definitely wouldn't chase a girl all the way to France.

You should really go, Sam. Go to France, wow the hairy armit girl, and then write a book about your success and sell the story to someone who can hire Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan. Here's your big break, buddy. After all the mocking, you can wipe your tears away with hundred dollar bills.

[NewEraYanks2527]

I'm impressed Tom knows who Sophie Marceau is.

Is she in the HFC bracket? She should be.

[fredgmuggs]

I'm impressed Tom knows who Sophie Marceau is.

Well, how do you think I know going to France and professing your love to someone who doesn't know you're alive just doesn't work out the way you hope it will?

[Hitman23]

Is she in the HFC bracket? She should be.

I think she was disqualified because someone may have mentioned her in a preliminary nomination thread 4 years ago.

Its not me. But it is an interesting story. I'm gonna screenplay it up.

Well, how do you think I know going to France and professing your love to someone who doesn't know you're alive just doesn't work out the way you hope it will? Today 10:07 AM

Man what the hell did you just type?

I think she was disqualified because someone may have mentioned her in a preliminary nomination thread 4 years ago.

Agreed, Josh screwed up the HFC majorly. I'm never gonna trust him to do anything ever again. In protest lets go mess up the HMC.

[xenadanielle]

Is this a real person or some kind of celebrity?

I think just showing up there is a littler stalker-y, sorry. However a woman I know had a guy come over here from Norway like that. She lived there for a year in HS and he just showed up at her house one day. She hid in her bedroom while her parents dealt with him or something.
