how can you raise money fast, if you’re willing to do anything.
i need to get to korea, and if i could raise $2000 i could do it; I’m willing to do anything (anything legal, that is) to get it… i mean i will do everything possible, make any personal sacrifice i have to to get this money. any ideas? i don’t really have much to sell… my computer isn’t even really mine, no car, one watch that is very dear to me but i would sell for this (the person who gave it to me would approve of the cause) but i’m not sure how much it is worth… i doubt more than a couple hundred dollars. also, in addition to ideas from people about how to get this money, maybe there’s someone who needs something for $2000 (some college kids got their tuition paid for by tatooing the pepsi logo on their heads or something… anybody need some advertising or something like that?) really, i’ll do anything legal.

Ok, I have to ask. All your posts are about getting to Korea. Why do you have to get there? Who or what is there that you’re trying to get to?
Nvm, found answer in your previous post.
okay, but a few more details may be in order. my girlfriend of 18 months is there right now. it’s been really hard to communicate, because her phone doesn’t work over there. She got this rental phone, but sometimes i would call and it would say the number didn’t exist… i know this isn’t a mistake in dialing, because (assuming it wasn’t a mistake in dialing) sometimes i would push redial a few times and then it would work. anyway, the same thing happened when she would call me from the phone (sometimes she’d call from a different phone and it would work, but this was difficult for her to do) and anyway she thinks that I didn’t want to talk to her, that i was avoiding her and not calling her. This has made her think that i don’t love her, that i’m happy she’s away. Of course, this is all a horrible misunderstanding, and i think if i get there, it’ll show her she’s wrong
I see. All I can really say here is if she’d leave you over a misunderstanding like that (or cheat on you, which was the fear you referenced in your other post) then you might want to consider that the relationship isn’t as beautiful as you think it is.
Just chillax, she’ll be home in a couple of weeks.
Granted, it would be a sweet gesture to show up in Korea to tell her how much you love her, but people that make grand gestures like that usually have disposable income.
You say she thinks that you didn’t want to talk to her and that you were avoiding her. How did you find this out? email?
a couple other details may be in order. For one, we go to school together, and spend about 8 hours a day (or more) together, in addition to sleeping together. Also, she’s not very trusting, because she’s had a lot of awful things done to her by guys… basically, me not avoiding her would be a pretty big deal to her… she’s determined not to be with a man who doesn’t love her and, having be a good friend of her’s while she was with other guys, i know how her mind works on these issues… this really is serious, because she simply doesn’t believe me. And i found this out when we did manage to talk for a little while after not speaking for about a week (and before that we hadn’t spoken for about a week). Also, since we are on summer vacation, she will be in LA when she returns. Though it might be easier to get out there, it won’t be for a while, and by then i fear it may be too late. if she were coming home to school and i was there, i feel like things might be different.
Oh well I see your predicament then. That’s tough when you’re forced to be apart and one doesn’t trust the other.
and it’s bad, see, because this is pretty much why she broke up with her last boyfriend… now, i don’t know if she was mistaken or not last time, but this time she is and i’m afraid the same thing is going to happen
But don’t you see that if she doesn’t get this fixed in herself, you’ll never be able to stop chasing after her trying to explain yourself? There will always be something she misunderstands, because she’s looking for things.
I really do hope you can come up with the money to get to Korea, because I think it’s a sweet, romantic gesture. But I’d hate to think of you having to deal with this problem for the rest of your life :(
I wish that you could go to Korea, too. However, I doubt that it would solve the problem. You say that you did talk for a little while. Did you have time to explain that you had been trying to call her, without success? If so, then she knows that it is your desire to talk with her. If your fear is that she is so insecure that she will feel abandoned by someone who is clearly awaiting her return, then she has a flaw that she needs to work on. She may need professional help with that. You can’t always go to extremes to reassure her and if you try to do that, I believe that you will wear out your love for her. Does that make sense?
Just before I pushed the reply button, I saw that Chameleon just said pretty much the same thing. So, now you have to similar opinions. I hope it helps.
i have had to go to extremes before to reassure her (never like this) and i am not worn out. chameleon said he hopes I don’t have to deal with a problem for the rest of my life, but she is not a problem to me… i want more deeply than anything for her to trust me… she is a beautiful soul who has been hurt too many times, and if someone isn’t willing to chase after her i think it would just be unbearably tragic. does anyone have any ideas? please i love her so much.
Why does everyone think I’m a guy? :/
the picture of the pixie (i think that’s what it is) reminds me more of a guys fantasy than a woman’s avatar… my apologies
I’ve changed my avatar due to the fact that people think I’m a guy.
I theorize it’s because they’ve never heard of a chameleon and see the word LEON at the end and think it’s my name. LOL

what guy says that?!?!? lol
If it makes you feel any better Chameleon, I thought you were a girl (:
Thanks Barletta! That DOES help! :D
Here’s an idea to raise money: get a job.
this may sound silly and simple, but it is the truth. in order to have a strong and happy relationship you need to start with these 3 things. LOVE, TRUST and COMMUNICATION. you can not have a relationship with just 1 or 2 of these things. you need all 3. if she loves you, she can honestly talk to you and if she honestly talks to you, it would be obvious to her that she can trust her feelings to you.
another thing, i know some say you should waste the money and go to korea. this would be a big mistake. yes, it may her happy and you come back home only to deal with her next big insecurity flare up. take it from a guy who has seen his fair share of friends going through this and in the end the person doing all of the chasing and fixing just becomes tired and wonder why they wasted so much time on a cause that was lost from the beginning. these issues begin with her and not you. you are still where you are. she is the one bouncing all over the globe. tell her you are the same guy that you were before she left and nothing has changed and you are patiently waiting for her return.”
