personally iw ould never accept money from a woman. ever! even if she offered it. i figure if i can't earn it to pay for what i want or need it for then i don't need it that badly. or at all. the alarms shoudl ahve gone off the minute he asked for money. unless you know a person a long time or know their back ground, don't lend money.
for the record not all are like him. some of us have integrity and morals.

I would never loan anyone money unless i know them personally and for like few years, but it also depends on how much they need.

£25-£50 = not so bad and acceptable if i have known them for a little while, they might be trying to get something and are 25-50 pounds short of the total amount, but i would never, EVER loan anyone more then £75 to anyone i don't know more then 2 years.

Hell, even if i was chatting to a woman online for 2 years, i wouldn't loan her money, most women i tend to meet can be time wasters, just looking for a meal ticket, but some just want someone to look good on their shoulder, both of which are not worth the time of day.

Well, guess you learned an expensive lesson, you cant buy love, any decent man or woman would never ask to borrow money from someone they just met. Be smarter about trusting next time, its an earned thing over time, that means more then a month.

It gets better, Us guys can be jerks for sure. All of us have down falls and work hard to take care of the woman we care about. I am not sticking up for this guy but take time to let your heart mend and have fun. know you should be number one in your life and then worry about a man, let him earn your strust first and then your heart.

I recall I came across some gal on one of these sites. She seemed so "natural" and so sincere in her "need" well like a jerk, I cut her a check for aout $149.00 and needless to say I never heard from her again or saw her profile. Anyone asking for something before you have met in person has one goal-to use you! I know that doesn't make you feel better, but you won't make that mistake again!

Ms Blonde from Plano, Texas,

This is not indicative to the entire male of the specie, as there are some real good gents out here/there, but it’s all over the site to being careful about $$ changing from hand to hand.

With this Computer thingy, you could have very quickly drawn up and printed out a legal document, had him sign it, you sign it, and a witness sign it too.

You had communicated with him thru emails on the Fish for a while then spoke on the phone for over a month, and then went as far as to meet and you say that, “It all seemed to go well.” It sounds to me as if he was looking to scam you from the get-go.

It is sad that your open and loving heart is broken now wondering if you'll ever trust another. This kind of scenario gives the good guys on here a bad rep.

Any guy worth his salt would not ask a woman for money anyway. Just chalk it up as a lesson learned, don't be so trusting next time. Karma really does exist...

Rules to live by.. never I mean never loan money to a man.. You tell them. do I look like a Bank of America? can you say JOB... or call your faimly . also ? who wants to date a man they have to loan money to. look at the big picture. would you end up supporting him. If a man is not good with his money.. I always think move along.. learn from this mistake.. wash your hands from it. and move on.. maybe you need to realize your worth more then this. I bet he has a MO of doing this alot.
I had a girlfriend who did what you did. she didnt didnt quite early . this guy moved in and took her to the cleaners. (she even got pregnant by him) she found out he basically was a guy who lived like this .went from women to women. being taken care of and takeing advantage of there kindness. I think we heard he lives in his parents garage.

I don't mean to be rude, but I think you need to look at yourself, and find out why you believed in someone so soon. A month and he wanted to talk about marriage? And as soon as he asked for money, you really should have known what was up. Time to put on the big girls panties and own up to how easy you were to manipulate. Only you can control you, and if you can fall for someones lines that fast. What kind of self control do you have? You're not 20 so act it.

What I've learned is if their a sweet talker, they are likely full of #@!$ 99% of the time. Sincerity never seems to go with sweetness if you ask me.

You poor dear, I can relate to the believing everything he tells you bit, i think it's just human nature to want to believe that people are good. Try to take this as a hard lesson and move on, knowing that you were the good person here, and don't be jaded, yet do be cautious next time.

I agree with everyone else.. dont loan a guy money right off the bat.. ... dont trust any man that asks for money after knowing you only a short period... you will trust again because its obviously in your nature to trust in the first place.. just be careful how quick you are to trust

Sorry you learned something at such expense meaning literally. I always live by the fact that the word 'love' and 'money' should never be mixed. Independently those 2 words are rich in every sense. Put them together and you have evil,broken trust,lost friendships, and in some cases death.
