The City Girl Blues (Part 3)

August 14th, 2025 at 07:36 pm

This "friend" who I've written about before is currently on a vacation with her boyfriend right now.  The original plan was to spend two weeks in a nice hotel somewhere, sightsee, and eat expensive foods that looks like it comes out of Instagram.

However, she doesn't have the money for this.  Crazy enough, but neither does her boyfriend.  So, what to do?  Well one idea was to turn to me.  Why, I don't know.  She's used to other guys paying for her, and in her mind, maybe I'm no different.  She texted me as late as 2 am in the morning just indirectly asking for money.  "Oh no, I don't have the money for this.  If only someone could help me rent this AirB&B for a week.  No?  Well, how about this less expensive hotel room at least?"  She's asking for at least $1500 USD here.  Minimum. 

It was ridiculous.  I politely but firmly ignored her.  As a result, she may have shortened her vacay plans from two weeks to one week.  I think that's what happened.  Our "friendship" has cooled considerably since this incident, and she's currently not talking to me anymore.  That's fine by me because if this is her idea of a "friendship", then I'm out.   No thanks.  I'm sorry to find out that time has not made her better, but worse.

To add insult to injury, she has her little circle of friends who basically believe she can do no wrong, and they have all indirectly indicated how little they think of me.  Why are people like this?  Do they not realize that I'm not the bad guy here?  Just because I don't want to pay for somebody else's vacation?

Hmm.  All this is subtle in motion, but as I am typing this out, I am realizing just how toxic these people are, and I am not at all interested in being around them.  They used to be better than this.  It's always sad to lose "friends" but I'm mentally checked-out at this point.

    Yes, I think it's best to drop her as a friend.

    Tabs, I don't think this person is a friend at all, but a user. I'm sorry this happened to you, but it shows how shallow she truly is and you deserve far better. To think that she even thought she could get this money from you shows she has a false sense of entitlement. My heart goes out to you because I think her attitude and those of her friends have hurt you. I know you can handle it, but it still hurts when someone you thought was a friend, isn't.

    Well it is sad to lose friends but really these people arent friends and never have been.

    Look for like minded people because you will go far in life and she will end up with nothing and no friends especially if she keeps borrowing from them...

    know you are a good person and deserves good friends and I am sorry that you are hurt by them but know that other good people are out there

    Wow, I can't even imagine asking someone for that kind of money! That's crazy, I'm sure you can find friends that will be more interested in the friendship and less on what money you can offer them.

    Sorry to hear how it all played out. Gotta say it sounds like she's really pretty used to having people buy her stuff. Oh well.

    You need to block her in your contacts and move on. You're a smart guy with a great heart - you don't need to buy friends.
