Since I'm once again stuck on the opposite side of the world to my girlfriend (two and a half years together, six months in person. What the fuck, karma? I said sorry for the damn alligator, okay?!) and celebrating our third Valentine's alone, I figured one of you lucky bastards can share in my misery and loneliness. So here's a giveaway for Dinner Date. Runs from midnight tonight (GMT) to midnight on the 14th.

Bonus round: Give me good sob stories about lost loves and Valentine's Days gone wrong and I'll throw up a second copy with a private link just for you guys (running from midnight on the 14th (or whenever this giveaway is over and done with) to the midnight on the 16th (at least two days after it opens). I'd open it sooner, but I can't create any new giveaways right now).

mayby it's not sob story, but anyway....

As I was 15 years old, pretty girl moved into the house next door. was beautiful! It took me several days to "accidentally" meet her. We talked few minutes - it was good. Two days later I decided that I should invite her for a walk. It took me next few days. but when I asked her, said "I do not want to go with you for a walk".

True story!

btw - Valentines Day sucks. this shops coverd by pink hearts. and this giant lolipops with "I love you".
and...and this signs on every pink-useles-something "buy me! your loved one will love you more!"

but my girlfriend loves that day....so I also got to love it :D

Well, money IS a problem, but than it is not THE biggest problem of all (this coming from a man who is a looooong way from 2000 USD savings himself :P). All the best to both of you! On a side note, I actually did not know US visas were THAT expensive. I was under the impression they were comparable to European ones (e.g. around 100 EUR).

It's something like $1337 (not even making that number up, that's what the price was last I checked) for a five/ten year visa. Then there's plane tickets needed, then money to spare until we can get her a job to help the costs...

Ahhhh you talking about SUCH long-term visas. Well I never knew these prices as I never had a chance to get one of those. :) I am curious though whether such visa also includes a working permit or you still have to go through all the hassle with "publish in a newspaper, make documents, hire a foreigner blablabla".

If I'm understanding the websites correctly (they've got a lot of information spread over numerous pages, two separate governments and half of it was made out of date by a recent change in laws), a relationship visa lets you work over here without having to prove there were no native citizens wanting the job. As long as you're qualified, you can work without issue.

Not so much a sob story as a case of mutual annoyances. Married two and a half years, wife's on the other side of the world. Had one Valentine's together since we met five years ago. Toasts

I'd say regard it as "only" twenty. :) And perhaps that girl just never knew a great man like you, hence she was stuck with wrong impression of what's a good relationship is. :P

I'd make a joke here about my computer being my girlfriend, but as I've given him a male name, that seems weird to me. But since nobody else here knows that, pretend I just made a hilarious and witty joke like that.

My sob story(21y): Had a girl I liked, "court shipped" her for 2 months, gave her my love and soul, and after one romantic dinner, next day she says "Bye" in an sms.

The End.
Since after that I'm no mood to date girls at all, 1 year passed :P

Well, 2 months is a considerable time period, but you know what? I discovered girls at certain age are picky for no apparent reason. She might not have liked... the way you hold a spoon, for instance. Just a simple idiotic reason. And since at certain age many girls (and some guys) are too fond of themselves being "oh so special", such stupid reasons might be enough for a decline. Interestingly enough when you get older you might find the girls of the very same age looking with very different eyes at you (yeah, you're older, cooler, may be even have moneyz - for them?). Things may change. Besides, I hardly know people, who never had any problems/defeats/mistakes. What's important is whether you can still continue after the defeat. ;)

Yeah those are golden words actually, thank you

Its the mix of a hard university year plus that case that I'm not really in mood for dates, Ill let things cool down and find a nice and kind girl to walk around :P

I hope you get that visa, thejadefalcon, and the two of you will get to live happily ever after.

As for sob stories, well I parted ways today with my website, may it rest in peace. It was inaccessible for two days and when I contacted Namepad I was informed that "a bug in our billing script" caused the account and all its data to be deleted. I don't have a backup of the data (I really should know better), so I was left with fishing bits of it out of Google's cache. That's what I get for using free hosting. I'm really heartbroken about that site.

As for women, I had a lot of cases of unrequited love, but no really good story comes to mind. Besides, I'm happily married now, with two wonderful (but tiring) kids, so no point in dwelling on times gone by.

hmm.. speaking of sob stories...
I was in a healthy sexual relationship with my great girlfriend. A couple of days prior to last year's Valentine's day there was a tragic accident and my girlfriend couldn't spend V-day with me. Sob :'(....

And yes, I'm talking about my right hand and yes, I broke it playing basketball.

You really want a sob story? Ok, brace yourself.

First of all - just for some background: My mom died right when I was born (she was actually really, really hot - but this isn't about her. I guess that's fucked up to say, but whatever). I actually grew up with my dad's family, because my dad has all sorts of emotional issues and he bailed before I was born. So you can see, my childhood was really kind of messed up.
Anyways, growing up I feel like there was always a lot of distance between me and my sister. When I was about 17 or 18 I first noticed that my sister was a hottie.
I don't want to go into too many details about it, but basically what happened is that I accidentally found a video that she made of herself. I knew she didn't make it for me - but I thought she was so fucking beautiful that I watched it twice. I probably would have watched it a hell of a lot more, except that like right around the time I found the video, all this crazy shit went down and I had to leave home (My dad's family who I was staying with got in bad trouble with the law. I never talk about it).
Sooo... I was totally lusting after my sister at that point. She was also having bad trouble with the law. She was actually in custody when I left home.
My friend and I went to go pick her up. When I saw her that day, after seeing the video, I have to be honest, I just wanted to fuck her brains out. Looking back on it now, it's pretty messed up - but I think she had feelings for me too. She actually kissed me right after we came to get her... and it wasn't a sisterly kiss, you know? I mean, it wasn't like ridiculously sexual or anything, but it definitely wasn't sisterly.
After we left, we all went to crash with my Sister's friends. On the trip there, my friend sort of implied that he wanted to get with my sister, and I got a little jealous. He's a good looking guy - and even though she was my sister - I just felt like he was competition. Not much else happened between us for a while except some maybe-sexy hugging.
Pretty much everyone in my life at that point was wanted by the government, so we all moved around a lot. I'm not saying that I'm proud of it or anything, but it was kind of an awesome time.
My friend and my sister never hooked up I don't think - but I thought there was some serious sexual tension going on between them. It was around that time that I got really badly hurt in an accident. It was fucked up. I almost died. But when I was in recovery my sister came to see me, and out of the clear blue sky she gives me this awesome, slow, passionate kiss on the lips.
Sadly (although, I guess for the best) nothing ever came of it. We spent some time apart... and I started to get really religious, so I tried not to think of her that way. It was actually going well for a long time - like I was totally over her. But I have to say, like a year or so after all that stuff went down, we were out sailing (not like a date or anything romantic like that), and she was wearing like the hottest bikini I've ever fucking seen and it brought back all the old feelings. Sigh.
A little while later she actually wound up with my friend from before (the sexual tension guy). I can't say I was surprised.
But even after she was shacking up with my friend, there was one time we were at a party... my friend was inside, and my sister and I were outside alone. It was a really intimate moment. I think something might have happened, except that I killed the mood when I told her that Darth Vader was our father and that I had to go face him.

The saddest part? As many of you may know, I didn't write this, just quoting from Reddit (redd.it/alae8 - not hyperlinking it, so it won't stand out too much from the rest and spoil the fun) to try and lighten the mood of some other single fella.

Not exactly a sob story, but I used to be infatuated with this boy who claimed to reciprocate my feelings. Genuinely, too.
I moved, we broke up, and a few years later, he comes out of the closet.

Anyway, best of luck to you and your SO. I'm in a long-distance relationship myself and it just sucks. At least we live in an age with Facetime, Skype, etc.

Would this count a sob story.. We've been together 21 years, she did everything for me but these days all she does is type on the keyboard and click the mouse constantly while gaming. She's not the best looking, but she definately isnt the ugliest. And tonight when I'm laying alone in bed, she wont even come under the covers to please me. I really wish I could leave her for someone new, but my hand is just stuck with me for life (barring some accidental~ saw accident...)

Had a girl for 3 or 4 years. She was my first for like, everything. We were on and off on the last year. Went through an accidental pregnancy which ended in abortion. She cheated on me twice, or at least twice she's admitted to. Then she dumped me on my birthday 3 years ago.

Positive thing is, I now have a girlfriend of 2 years now, she treats me well. She's not a gamer like my ex, but she tries to play games with me and understand and such.
