I met this beautiful British girl on chatroullete last summer. Now, she's offering me a plane ticket to England to see her. I gotta do this without my parents even knowing that I am out of the country. I have to decide by tomorrow.
So here's the story. I go to a school in Arkansas as a sophomore. The reason I am needing to hide this from my parents is because I am only 20 years old, and my parents are strict and would never allow me to leave the country to see this sexy ass girl I met online. Over this past summer I met this amazing British girl, Georgina. (http://imgur.com/ToHJ4,ZyYyM) We started off just facebook messaging eachother and then we started skyping. Turns out, her dad is a football agent and makes a small fortune every year. Two weeks ago she offered to fly me out to Manchester, England over Christmas break. Tomorrow is when she is going to book the flight.
Here's my plan. I'm going to create an elaborate story which will allow me to give them reason to believe I won't have my cell phone on me for over a week (9 days) or any connection to the outside world for that matter. I am going to say "an intern at my college for recreation majors has this big trip planned to go stay out in the woods and camp with a big group of guys that attend the university." I don't see them completely supporting a 9 day trip in the freezing temperatures of Arkansas so I'm gonna tell them that I am leaving on the 7th and simply not answer my phone all of the 6th.
Long-story short. This is an opportunity of a lifetime and I basically have the chance to fly to England for free, to see and meet a beautiful rich British girl. Even if I get caught I think it will be worth it to go on this trip. She has my seat on hold and is waiting for me to give her the go ahead before she books it. I haven't even tried to sell my parents on the camping trip idea but none the less I think they will buy it.
So reddit, I ask you. Do I tell her to book it? CAN I PULL THIS OFF!? Is my story believable? What other things can I do to help strengthen my story. What can I do to ensure I don't get caught.
For those of you who think this could be a scam. I've seen the reservations for my tickets at american airlines, I've met her little sisters and parents. For Christmas vacation last week, this girl traveled to New York city. For summer vacation they traveled to Spain for a month.
UPDATE: So with the help of some extremely helpful and generous redditors a background check on her dad checked out. A football agent of such quality, that he's signed players with Chelsea, Liverpool, etc..
I discussed my story with both my parents and both of them encouraged me to go on this camping trip. Anyways, the plan is to leave on January 6th around late afternoon.
And for everyone ranting and ranting about how big of a scam this is, i appreciate the support, but i'm still going.
UPDATE UPDATE
Dear redditors. She purchased my ticket yesterday. I have the round trip tickets. I leave Sunday. And return about a week later. As promised, upon return (if and or when it does happen) I will make a AMA and link it to this original post.
UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE.
My inbox has been blowing up with many asking for an update on what happened. Well reddit, I am in manchester now. I return Monday to the states. Still have both my kidneys (for all the reddit haters). I will put up an "Iama" sometime next week and I will answer all of your questions and discuss details on this trip.
