A few years back met this girl through a friend, and he thought we would get a long great. We hung out for a bit, became close. (somewhat) She had just moved to the city and didn’t really know anyone. Slowly but surely, I started to notice that there was something funny about her.
I brought her to a few of my clients, she met them for maybe 30 seconds. Next thing I know she went on FB searched through my friend’s list and added them as her friends. Noticed she was messaging them regarding business opportunities. Weird I thought, but I brushed it off. I didn’t want to make a big deal about it. One day though, my client told me she came in asking for a discount, without me. She didn’t even know the guy. I was livid to say the least, so I brought it to her attention, told her I didn’t appreciate it. She said she understood.
Next thing I notice, she is adding more and more of my friends on FB who a lot are my clients and networking through my friend’s list. I am not sure if she didn’t think I would notice but I did. My clients would also ask what was up with that. At this point, I said nothing because what could I say, anything I would say would sound petty. Brushed it under the rug, then long behold she tricked me a third time.
This past weekend, I went to spend the weekend in Milton to babysit my girlfriend’s children. On my way there I stopped off at a Second Cup downtown to pick up a latte. As I placed my order from the corner of my eye I saw someone, I was lost in my thoughts and was startled when I realized she was speaking to me. I was startled because I didn’t know anyone was talking to me, I was so deep in thought.
I look over and see a young woman, homeless pregnant.
She says: ” You don’t have to be scared I am not going to ask you for money, I was wondering if you would be able to buy me a coffee. I am 17 years old, homeless, pregnant with twins. My hands and fee are swollen its so cold outside.”
She proceeds to show me her swollen hands and fee. My heart sinks, I know I have to help this girl but I don’t know what to do. I feel the tears building up but I don’t wanna cry. I wanna hug her, I am scared for her. ( I am very sensitive when it comes to these things)
Friday night I went on a date, which is unusual for me. I don’t usual accept dates on Friday nights. I didn’t have any plans so I decided to go with the flow. My life right now feels like 50 first dates lol. I am having a blast meeting new people, and going out but BOY DO I EVER seem to meet some characters. I often wish I had a camera with me recording these situations. Lucky for me I can come home and tell YOU all about it !
To give some background, I met this guy walking out of a restaurant after dinner with my girls. There was nothing memorable about the way he approached me, he asked if we could go for drinks someday. I thought sure, why not. (I am trying this whole open mind concept) All week he has been trying to make plans with me, I was really busy and couldn’t meet all the times he wanted to. Finally I decided that I would just try it on Friday night, see how it would go.
Here’s another one, as promised. I was in a R&B mood this weekend. I hope you enjoy. Let me know your thoughts.
