If he is not Italian particularly Sicilian your waisting your time.

vladinecko · 05-15-2006, 09:38 AM

how the hell do you get all those exciting proposals, girl?

remember that nothing in this world is free. i'd say, if you're not planning on giving HIM the whole 9 while you're there (since he's basically buying you), then don't go.

also, since you're a girl, unless you're completely comfortable being with him alone in a different country on a different continent for 7 - 10 days, hence, unless you know him and trust him well enough (there are just too many stories of a good guy turning psycho), then i wouldn't go.

i just don't wanna see you on Dateline NBC as one of their "Searching for Bella" stories while they guy will be watching it in his 450K condo with fake tears in his eyes and your blood still under his fingernails...

txusa03 · 05-15-2006, 09:46 AM

wow, I want to go too, can I?

On a more serious note, it is your life so I guess the bottom line is your decision.

FeeBear · 05-15-2006, 10:22 AM

My only suggestion is have a back out plan. If things go great, great. If things turn sorrow, have enough money in a Credit Card for 3 days and your flight back home. Also make sure you always carry you Passport!

My blood under his fingernails!?? Good Lordy!

Anyway- honestly, him turning out to be a weirdo isnt whats holding me back. I can tell hes a genuine guy. Its the fact that, well, its kinda soon. I mean we just started hanging out and we're planning a trip. I mean i was with my x for 2 yrs and we never did anything like this. Then again, he had no money to even take me to disneyland. hahah.

magmd · 05-15-2006, 12:29 PM

Yep...that is the tough part.

Like I said before...even good friends can get on each others nerves when it comes to going on trips. Its just the nature of traveling..you know, deciding what to do, making schedules, getting ready in a timely manner, going out at night, etc. Anyways, good luck making your decision. It would be nice to go somewhere fun before you start your program.

BTW...you wanna go to Mexico??

Broken1 · 05-15-2006, 12:43 PM

I don't know Bella, I think it's kinda nice. He's obviously rich, so being spontaneous and dropping $7000 going to italy, isn't such a big deal. I think it would be unfair to go - if you were just in it for a free trip to italy, however if you like the guy - and think he's cool and want to go for a good holiday and have a good time it's great.

I don't think he's "specifically" buying you. People with alot of money can be very generous at times - not expecting sex or something in return. Maybe he just wants to goto Italy, have fun with a good girl and that is that. If you were more interested, I doubt he would complain.

It's definately a great way of seeing if you two are compatible. A whole week together with definately let you get to know him fast. I think it's great!

If he's a good guy, from a good family and he is genuine, I would trust your instincts and go :-) Maybe meet his family, and try get to know everyone better in the meantime - just to ease your stresses!

Juve29 · 05-15-2006, 01:06 PM

Bella think about it if he is willing to spend $7,000 for the trip imagine how much money he will spend when you get to Italy. This is the best way for you to see if he really is a sugar daddy.

Brunotheboxer · 05-15-2006, 01:26 PM

story sounds like a movie i saw a while back but i cant remember the title.

Hmm.. tough call. ha ha

what do i get if i take you to the empire state building when you come to NYC?

wweoholic · 05-15-2006, 01:32 PM

What do i think? lol

Hes spending "5-7 g's" and he asked you for 4 bills?

LMAO, no offense but thats WORSE then the sea world extravigansa.

Its like, "Bella lets go to the game, the seats cost me 500 each, can I have 20 bux?"

LMFAO....

Not necessarily...I know when I took my ex to Disney about 3 years ago and I spent about 2500 total, I took like $200 from her just so that she didn't feel that she didn't put a single dime in...Especially since that was during the beginning of the relationship. When I took her to Vegas for her bday last summer, I took nothing...but thats because we were far more into it at that point...

Its not really about the money when spending that much and taking a little kickback. Its more so that the other person doesn't feel like they are using you.

Bella, I'm sure if you put nothing in, it may feel a little awkward, however if you put in a few bucks, the awkwardness goes away

wow...as I'm typing this thing about my ex, a song from a concert we went to comes on..go figure..STUPID MEMORIES!

just look at scott peterson. people around him would have swore he was a completely genuine and extremely nice guy. and look what happened....

thedean786 · 05-15-2006, 01:48 PM

I understand what you are saying, but from where I come from its similar to a totem pole. I am 17 and I am the low man, so i gotta do stuff thats dirty (yes it sux), BUT I cant give my uncs money when we go out, for the life of me.... Its impossible...

If I have a girl that I am going on vac. with and I am already in those numbers, its rediculous to take ne thing at all.

If you ex gave you 200 dollars, it made her feel better but, didnt it make you feel like a jerk off? Like less of a man?

i'm using this example solely for a girl...not for family or friends....and yeah i took the 200 from my ex, but it went right back to her for her bathing suit when we got there..lol...so nope..I didn't feel bad. Plus when I pay for everything we did everyday for 5 years, I really don't think she ever thought of that $200..the damn girl is worth 40g's easily. Lesson learned....Don't get a girl and in 5 years, buy a e90!

RedStripe · 05-15-2006, 02:10 PM

Bella-
1) Who cares what other people are saying. Is this proposition ok with you? Can you live with it? Are the financial terms (and what's "assumed") something you have to think twice about? If not, go for it. If yes, then go. You have come across as a self-reliant person that does not need to rely on anyone for anything. Why compromise that for something as trifle (taken in the greater context of things) as a week's trip to Italy. But if you truly know yourself and it's all good, why not go?
2) The money's not the issue, not how much he has or how little (in comparison) you have. The issue is you and who you are. That's the only question that needs to be answered.
3) What's the over/under on the number of posts to this thread? 155 by May 22nd 12:00AM EST? The line has been set.

I'm going with the over.
