My girlfriends wants money after two months

290 replies

gfwantsmoney · 16/03/2022 21:23

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.

I don’t think she’s a prostitute as they want paying for their services straight away but she’s definitely a money grabber and should be avoided!

Most people would be so embarrassed to even ask to borrow £10 off someone they’ve known that long but to be so confident when asking is awful.
Usually it starts off small and then gets larger.

I’m really glad you posted on here as these people are clever and have a way of making you feel guilty for not doing it.

I’m sorry this has happened to you but at least you can dump her and find someone better now.

Did you sleep with her?

Ddot · 16/03/2022 22:22

Yer did you get some freebies

TopCatsTopHat · 16/03/2022 22:25

There aren't any many cultures in the world that expect a serious financial involvement after a brief amount of time. Cultures where men might demonstrate commitment through financial support yes, but before you've had chance to really get to know each other... No.

Gilly12345 · 16/03/2022 22:25

No way that is not how things work.

How do you know that you are her only Boyfriend? (Sorry)

She is trying it on.

CantStandMeCow · 16/03/2022 22:25

How did you two meet?

Spudina · 16/03/2022 22:28

Sorry OP that was a scam. You will never hear from her again.

Ratatoo · 16/03/2022 22:29

Block her

PyongyangKipperbang · 16/03/2022 22:30

The worst thing is is that she will not see any of that money if you do send it, the vast majority will go to the bastards who are forcing her to do this.

Walkingalot · 16/03/2022 22:30

Be careful for the begging messages making out you're the only one who can help her, just a one off, etc etc. Please block/delete. It was a fantasy relationship. You live and learn.

Calphurnia88 · 16/03/2022 22:31

@gfwantsmoney in answer to your previous post OP (MN won't seem to let me quote), rents are high in the UK but that doesn't mean that someone you have only just started dating should pay your rent for you. Hell, it doesn't mean that someone you have been dating long-term should pay it for you. This is very obviously a scam.

I mean this in the nicest possible way, but you sound very naive and think you need to wise up a bit before you start dating, otherwise you may end up being taken advantage of.

TheRealityCheque · 16/03/2022 22:36

Where on earth has this prostitute nonsense come from?

All the evidence points to her being a scammer (and she's probably been at it a while).

But zero evidence of prostitution.

SynchroSwimmer · 16/03/2022 22:38

To steal a quote from my friend:
It might be normal in your country,
It is not normal here.

tearinghairout · 16/03/2022 22:40

This reminds me of Pose, where the woman demands the man pays her rent and buys her fancy clothes, jewellery, etc, all so that she is available whenever he wants to visit her. It's not how real relationships work.

Mrsmadevans · 16/03/2022 22:41

If it is any comfort OP you are probably one of many .

QueenofLouisiana · 16/03/2022 22:41

Watch The Tinder Swindler. Then block her and move on.

Oppy · 16/03/2022 22:42

If you like her and enjoy having sex with her just pay her per meet, DO NOT agree to a monthly fee. At the end of the day she is a human being making her way through a complex life. She probably hasn’t hurt anyone. You can practice technique and gain sexual confidence that will help draw genuine emotionally based relationships. If you pay per meet she’ll treat you very well I’m sure. I’d probably insist on a sexual health check though x

CandyLeBonBon · 16/03/2022 22:45

Oh dear

What? Shock
ClariceQuiff · 16/03/2022 22:49

Oppy - she's strung the OP along pretending she wants a genuine relationship - how is that 'not hurting anyone'?

She may indeed have issues of her own, but scamming emotionally vulnerable men isn't a good way to solve them.

Can't possibly be that she's just a scammer then Hmm
worriedaboutmoney2022 · 16/03/2022 22:50

@TibetanTerrah

What would she do if she hadn't met you?

She'd find another mug to pay for her. What you have isn't special, she wants to use you.

I'm sorry I totally agree

And just re-read

You see her every couple of weeks

My guess is she's got other men inbetween and told them the same

Get rid

I agree!

Magdalena543 · 16/03/2022 22:53

She saw you coming OP.
