A lovesick American teenager almost died after getting drunk and nearly drowning in a river when he was dumped by a young Chinese woman he flew 7000 miles to visit. The 18-year-old, who was only named by his surname Pratt in Chinese media, had travelled from his home state of Ohio across to Jiangshan, a city in Zhejiang province in China, after becoming infatuated with a young woman he had met online. But after getting the cold shoulder from his online ladylove when he turned up, he started drinking and was found suffering from hypothermia and unconscious on the staircase leading down into the Xu River.   A spokesman from the Cheng Bei Police Station quoted on Qianjiang TV said: 'He was unconscious and lying in a pool of his own vomit. It looks as if he might have fallen in the water at some stage as his clothes and shoes were soaked. To be honest he was so inebriated, he could easily have drowned. It was only a short distance to the water.'  Pratt was taken to a local hospital and after regaining consciousness discovered that he had also managed to lose all of his money meaning he could no longer pay for his hotel room. However after hearing about his hard luck story, the hotel manager decided to let the teenager have the room for free. He admitted to police that he did not know the girl's real name, only her online pseudonym which was Xiaoqian, and he also admitted he had only started talking to her this year. Because she had perfect English and great photographs, he had fallen head over heels in love and had promised to come and visit her.  Police said it appears the young woman may not have taken him seriously until he suddenly turned up in Xiamen, in Fujian Province, and then went to Jiangshan to meet the girl. Detectives confirmed from his mobile phone that he did try to ring her several times, after which he was told to leave her alone – and his number was blocked. Depressed about the rejection, Pratt had started drinking and was last seen cursing and staggering near Xu River, where he was found passed out later that night. Police tracked the young woman down, but she again refused to meet him despite hearing about the fact that he had almost died. A police spokesman said: 'We followed his progress until he left the country, and he is already on the plane back to the United States.' http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2975990/Infatuated-American-teen-drowns-freezing-Chinese-river-flying-7-000-miles-meet-girl-fell-love-internet-getting-blind-drunk-told-wasn-t-interested.html  |

   I envy your delusion; I wish I could live in it  |
| Damn, crash and burn almost to death, you can send the man back to the US now if all he did was try to commit suicide and hopefully the pics of the witch are shown on the internet so she won't get any love again as driving someone to suicide is wrong. |

He flew 7000 miles to to see her and got rejected, it costs money to fly that far you know, and he was in another country and got rejected, think about the pain this poor fool is suffering, he's alone in China with no other friends to comfort him. He kinda deserved it (for flying that far prematurely) but also didn't deserve to nearly die from it. |

| Don't know if he's a fucking idiot, or she's the biggest bitch on earth. |

| It's probably better this way. If she'd have accepted, and eventually dump/divorce, it'd probably result in something worse. Or she could have accepted and make do with what she has. Or he could have realized that he's an idiot for that sort of mindset and stopped while he had the chance. Or he could have done it through skype or some shit, and somehow reassure their relationship with one another. Either way, both piss me off. |
Happy Halloween |
| what's Chief Keef doing there? lol |
| poor dude must be lonely as hell to have done that in the first place. a fucking idiot sure, but a pitiable one too. hope it all works out for him. |

You do realize the guy is already publicly shamed as well for his idiocy, just look at how pathetic he's looking right now. It's no longer unfair. PDot19 said: It's probably better this way.

Yeah she should've stopped this fool from coming at the first sign he was trying to meet her. The Skype option would've been good as the rejection would been much smoother and we wouldn't have shit like this. There's so much blame that both share and it would've been solved with common sense. |

| If somebody I was talking to from here fucking flew from another country to meet me, yes, that'd make me uncomfortable and I wouldn't want to see them either. That's a pretty damn strange and drastic thing to do. |

TheRealNico said: Davido-kun strikes again? What white trash comes out of that shit hole state of Ohio? This is like the second or third screwed up story that involves someone from Ohio in less than a month, the last one was that little girl killing a baby. |
|
| But if someone was to fly out, you'd have some clue about it. I doubt he looked her up, got her info, etc.. all without her knowing what he was planning. If he did, he's even crazier and she was right to not meet him. I've talked to people on those proximity apps, and it's been entirely casual and not at all suggestive and suddenly they're like "Hey! I'm like 1000ft from you now! Where are you? Let's meet!" And that's when i turn off the app, turn off my phone's locaton settings, and dip into a store or something off the public walkway and hide for a bit. |

| As foolish a move this is, I pity him for this because it took a real strike of love to inspire him to fly so far. I really hope his life works out for him in the end. It sounds like she sort of danced him around on a string and I hope he finds the girl who'll love him for being a guy willing to go that far for someone he's in love with. |

"Police tracked the young woman down, but she again refused to meet him despite hearing about the fact that he had almost died." That's what makes her a bitch. That's what makes you a dumbass. Read the quote again. It implies she didn't give a shit that he almost died at all. That does 100% make her a bitch. |
Moog- said: It's his fault for traveling so far without even knowing whether she felt the same way or not, lol. Pretty much this. I saw this article on FB too and from the article it said he only knew her online alias and not even her real name. That right there pretty much sets the tone for the whole situation. |
