writes:I'm not sure if i should still go to this concert or not. I met a girl in London a few months ago at a fan party for an actor. We have been intouch a lot since then on facebook, and i'm supposed to be staying at her house for a couple of days later this week, from Thursday until either Friday or Saturday, as we are supposed to be going to a concert in London on Thursday.I was thinking of arriving Thursday morning, and the concert is in the evening. However, i sent her a message last week saying that i was looking forward to seeing her the week after, meaning his week obviously, and she said she thought that the concert was supposed to be last week, but she said she would see me this week. I feel nervous about going, as she is supposed to be meeting me at the train station when i arrive, as i don't know London well, but i'm worried that she will say that she forgot what time she was supposed to meet me, and that she won't turn up or something. The train fare will cost me £70 , so it's a lot of money wasted if i go and she doesn't turn up. Am i being paranoid, or do you think it isn't worth going ?. I have another friend, who i know for a fact is very reliable, and i usually meet her at the train station and have stayed in the hostel that she lives in. I'm not sure if i should ask her to meet me though, as i would feel like i am using her, since i'm not going to the concert with her. She also emailed me yesterday and said she has a cold and doesn't feel like going out much at the moment. She was going to meet up with me and the other girl though somewhere. It depends if there is a room available in her hostel on such short notice too. It isn't the first time that i have met up with people i have mainly been in contact with on the internet. With my other friend, it was the other way around. We first got talking on the internet, and then we met in person, but it was lucky that she is reliable. I've made lots of other friends that way too. What should i do ?. I know i could tell my other friend about what this girl said last week too, but i feel a bit ashamed to tell her. Does anyon else think that it sounds dodgy that she thought the concert was last week instead of this week ?.The date is on the concert ticket, so surely she would have checked it recently ?. This girl lives with her mum, so her mum could be expecting me there too.If she is genuine though, i will feel bad if i cancel staying at her house, and going to the concert with her. If i stay with my other friend though, i could still bump into this girl, as we both have tickets for the standing area at the front.

 "Suzanne, I'm finalizing my travel plans for the concert weekend. We'd talked about my staying ________ for ________ and I just wanted to know if that still worked for your schedule. Other friends were wondering what I was planning for the weekend and since we'd spent some time discussing it, I just wanted to make sure things were still on track as we planned.
If this doesn't work for your schedule, don't worry, I will make other plans!
I'm looking forward to seeing you soon!"
