Hats off to Dodger!! Brilliant bit of deducerizing!! But, just the same, a remarkable amount of coincidence, as well, since little could he have anticipated that one of our top BMS would find himself enmeshed in a dramatic, fists-flying(well, slaps, actually, but fists sounds better) episode, worthy of the most scandalous TV soap opera production, when he picked up the 3 little lambs at the airport!!

All of which goes to prove that 1)there are two sides to every story and 2)there really are the occasional virgins, fresh in from Isaan, a fact that I have always maintained, in the face of most everyone asserting that virgins were an extinct species in Patong.

Nevertheless, although Girl #1(Dee) certainly makes her actons understandable in telling her side of the story, it really doesn't change things a whole lot. The part about her being the butt of sneers from Girl #2 for her being a FL, was probably paranoia, if not just outright excuse-making. I am now assuming the girls 3 and 4 are also FLing, since they now have the new duds, their own apt., and a typical FL attitude. So, it really seems unlikely that Jee would have the nerve to take shots at Dee for being a FL, when her two friends were about to embark on the same course. Being outnumber by 3 to 1 on that issue, she would be taking on all three of them to be so bold as to dish out criticism on their choice of a livelihood.

Furthermore, Dee had absolutely no right to assume that she was hooked up with AM for the night. It seems as if she was treating him as her property, i.e., that she had staked her claim on his business. If she was really interested in AM as a person, as opposed to a paycheck, she would have wanted to spend her time being better acquainted with him, and pursuing a possible relationship with him. But, no, she would rather run all around Safari showing off for her friends, while assuming her paycheck for the evening was secured. And she did, definitely, figure that she had Jee to act as her babysitter. Otherwise, she would have never left AM alone, sitting there as fair game for all the other girls in Safari. They just don't do that, unless they feel they have an established relationship with a guy they can count on.

So, whereas, her story makes sense, it is still a very slanted story, that doesn't go a long way towards vindicating her poor behavior.

Given these new revealations, the big question is: Has Jee's resolve to not become a FL already been broken??? Has the lure of the bright lights and big bucks that she sees her friends enjoying seduced her?? Or is she still the sweet lamb Dodger met when he met them at the plane, and that AM met at Safari?

Am, if I were you, I would find out the answer to that question. If she has not been won over to the fast life by her friends yet, then, if I were you, I would be looking her up for a date, ASAP. Because I think that is the right kind of girl for you. You obviously were attracted to her, and the attraction was mutual. BTW, if you do hook up with her, treat her like the princess you want to find, but don't pay her!!!

Best of luck, AM. This really could turn out for the best! If she is the kind of girl you are looking for, then go for it!! Be perseverant and don't concern yourself with what her friends might think, or what happened previously!! BTW, you have nothing to apologize for. You were not Dee's property or her date for that evening. She left you, not vice versa. Being attracted to a pretty girl, who is attracted to you, and wanting to take it further and get to konw her is totally normal, and nothing to have any regrets about. Dee's actions, however understandable, given the circumstances, the FL mentality, and the amount of alcohol consumed, do not absolve her of responsibility for her actions. If she ahd been thinking about anything, but her own selfish interest, then her actions would have been a lot different.
