My girlfriends wants money after two months

290 replies

That is really. I have been seeing this woman for a couple of months. We have seen each other every couple of weeks since January and everything is fantastic. We talk almost every day. She is beautiful, interesting and I really like her. I could see a future for us after being single for a long time. The only problem is that she just told me she needs 500 pounds a month to pay her rent each month. She is not from the UK so she said in her country it is normal for a boyfriend to pay for things for his girlfriend. Is she taking me for a ride? I can afford the 500 pounds.

Is there an age gap? Did you meet online?

RUN!!
You’re gonna end up with a broken heart and empty wallet otherwise.

gamerchick · 16/03/2022 21:56

Now I think she might be. Too good to be true, to be honest. I just texted her that I won't be able to help her with the rent. She has read the message but didn't reply

Thank god. Be prepared for allsorts but just no. She's out to fleece you. Sorry man. Chuck this one back and find someone who is decent. Good luck.

Doubt you’ll hear much from her now you’ve said no.

And absolutely agree that it is customary to pay your way.

Time to look elsewhere OP.

SpeckledlyHen · 16/03/2022 21:59

scam all the way. sorry

SheldonesqueTheBstard · 16/03/2022 22:01

Liar?

How so?

From what you have posted she has chanced her arm with cheeky fuckery but I’m not sure that puts her in really good liar territory.

Unless there is a bit of a deluge coming?

Like faking real attraction when she was in for the money.

But if you feel 'real attraction' for someone, after several months, you're likely to see them more often than once a fortnight.

She is probably stringing half a dozen men along.

There is an age gap but she assured me that she only dated older men, not boys. Her ex was older than me for what she said.

Is she a fair bit younger than you?

OvOvO · 16/03/2022 22:06

Sorry Xpost

gamerchick · 16/03/2022 22:06

That may be so. But I'll bet they were her bread and butter OP.

gfwantsmoney · 16/03/2022 22:09

I just asked if we are still ok but no answer. Thanks for your help. I think it was a scam after all as she always replies super fast. I would just leave it like that and move on.

Too quick for ‘real attraction’ though.

You have to know a person for that.

I’m not sure 6 dates cuts it.

If she is ‘too good too be true’ then you need to be a touch more wary.

FunkyPhantom · 16/03/2022 22:09

Explain to her that in this country having a loving partner costs £500, so you're all square 👍

alexdgr8 · 16/03/2022 22:12

next time OP, do not reveal too much about your job or income at the beginning.
eg if you own your own business or are a partner in a large company, just say something like i have an office job, i work in accounts, rather than i am the head of finance in a global firm.
and i think better to meet people through friends of friends, or mutual interests, hobbies, rather than dating sites which are full of this kind of thing.
good luck.

Lindy2 · 16/03/2022 22:13

I'm very sorry but I think you are the victim of an attempted scam.

You've met 6 times and now she wants £500 per month.

That's just not how a healthy relationship works. I also imagine £500 is just the start.

I hope you manage to find someone more genuine as a partner soon.

Cherryblossoms85 · 16/03/2022 22:14

Hey I'm pretty too!

FairyLightAddict · 16/03/2022 22:15

Watch The Tinder Swindler.

Aquamarine1029 · 16/03/2022 22:17

She is a scam artist. Unless you're really daft, don't ever communicate with her again. Block and move on.

Ddot · 16/03/2022 22:17

Isn't that prostitution

RosiePosieDozy · 16/03/2022 22:17

Giving her that amount of money every month would be like paying her to be your girlfriend.

You've seen her true colours now and you can move on.

Sassbott · 16/03/2022 22:18

How much was the age gap?

Sassbott · 16/03/2022 22:18

*is not was.

Ddot · 16/03/2022 22:18

I will let you feed me twice a month!
