The blind date

[Lamagoodle]

Who rents hotel rooms to only talk? What a waste.

Tuushi, remember both of them are strangers in DK! what should they do? Talk at the airport and call it a day?

[Tuushi]

Kinda

In the same hotel,u r pretty much cornered.

Cornered?

NO!!!! Hotels are very safe and the best place to meet strangers. I think many people associate hotels with a place to sleep and that is wrong. Having two seperate rooms sends the message that everything is ok.

[Tuushi]

Meeting someone new at a hotel u r staying in sounds like a bad idea.By cornerned i mean,u cant escape the person.What if u decide to not talk to the person?
Changed ur mind for some reason.

I understand; so what is your suggestion concerning this story? Both of them are strangers. They have met at the airport. She has some relatives in Denmark but he is the primary reason why she is in this country. They have known each other for 8 months. Should they rent two bedrooms to chat? or should she say goodbye and leave him? The chemistry between them is not that good compared to cyberfriendship but he does not come across as a rapist; yet

But women are always very pure and noble


Ma aniga, oo Xalimo Carawello ah, aa nin ka cabsanayo? Abadan! If you get along with someone you could meet up with them for a coffee or something lakin wiil ama gabar xata ha ahato, hotelkas, gobolkas, aan iskula kuluno unless it's a holiday with an old friend, it seems dodgy as hell. Xaa ka doney?

Why are people afraid of hotels? I think it is a good place to meet.

Okay, let's say the girl in the story was your daughter or your sister. How do you feel about it now?

[Lamagoodle]

Jasmine, LOL. mmm. I don't know because my daughter/sister will never tell me she is dating online; as long as I don't know about it, then I don't think about it/feel anything.

Isn't it the same if my daughter/sister was dating a guy and meeting him in his apartment? or in a cinema?

It depends also on the circumstances; in this story, both of them are adults; they have had a relationship- albeit in cyber space and there is nothing to indicate that he is a rapist.

They can both stay in hotels as they wish but meet at a mutual location.Not where either is staying until it is established that they can get together well in person.

This round isnt abt chemistry but rather comfort and safety. I guess women value that more.

[Lamagoodle]

Tuushi, I see. Thanks for giving insights into the female comfort zone

A good suggestion; he suggests to her to check in another hotel than his; they meet in a neutral location. That sounds great

Wait a minute!How is that different than living in the same hotel? mmmm. fascinating.

Apartment or cinema. You say that like it's interchangeable adeer


I guess this story is a walk on the wild side so to speak. Clearly they are two, grown, consenting adults, it's just peculiar in a Somali context where this is ceeb of the highest degree.

[Tuushi]

Right Bv.I dont think most self respecting women would easily walk into a man`s apartment as in the case of a cinema or restaurant. Maybe we r old fashioned.

It is very different.Same hotel implies we r very comfortable together.I am not sure i wanna be that comfortable with someone i met online mere 8 months ago.

LOL@@@@interchangeable. I am maybe old but it was common to meet in cinemas or apartments. I think the issue is not the place but what takes place.

It is not that peculiar adeer. Maybe, spending the night at a hotel is but it is not that uncommon having done some research by talking to people. There are other ways, e.g. the man/woman travelling to meet someone else.

Tuushi, you make it sound like a dangerous endeavour walaal.

Thanks for the inputs, Tuushi and Jasmin; now, I know how to end the story.

I am thinking of including you in the story;

I'm not looking to influence the story, merely commenting on it so far.


Tuushi we are not ilbax. Strangely enough I know people who do a lot more than just meeting someone at a hotel lakin I think it's the Somali part that is si si kale you know. Dadkeena waxas ma sameyan camal

Dadkeena waxaasi ka daran ayaay sameeyaan!!

You are not influencing the story but you surely gave me an idea on how to conclude it. I know how two of my favourite readers think about the issue.

I will give you credit (a mention) since there is no royalty yet from sales,...

[Tuushi]

Bv,I know i am not Ilbax . But i know someone will do much more than a hotel visit but i wanna believe it is not common occurance.


Lama. I am a wimp and think i am not alone,so i hope.

Looking forward to the next chapter.
