Yeah, it does suck. I do have 4 girlfriends that, over the past 6-12 months I have gotten very close to. 2 live in DC and 2 live elsewhere, but it helps that they expect nothing from me but a friendship. It just really bothered me this afternoon that we were in the middle of discussing his payment schedule and he threw a few sentences in about how much he still cares about me. It was completely out of place and had no bearing on his loan. I guess I was just frustrated and curious if he threw that in there to get me to be more understanding about his financial situation. That's his problem, not mine.

Business v. friendship
by sweetface2233 ini have touched on this subject in public a few times and have discussed in detail w/ a few posters exactly what happened between my former best friend and i. to make a long story short, he borrowed money from me (several thousand $) and, in my opinion, carelessly went on a spending spree w/in the next several months.
i confronted him about it, and essentially was given the boot due to it.
at first, i was practically devestated (just like any break-up from a ltr), but now i am over it and have been able to give more focus to my other friends, as well as make new ones.. he and i had minimal contact since the beginning of august to the beginning of january.

If not for the 'truth' I'd be a serial killer
by coolhandluke inlet me explain that.
i think humans go through these phases where we see things and experience things that begin to callouse our minds.
my dad is an amazing dichotomy of loving and violent.

Well, besides being college educated, having my CPA, and possibly being the Controller of a large company, I would probably be the same person. I may have lost my virginity earlier and not gone on a sexual rampage when I left my ex, as well as had more life experiences by now. However, I would still be kind and caring, funny and intelligent, independent and considerate, and overall, a decent human being. If it weren't for my background, I wouldn't have been able to meet and get to know the people that I've met here that have become important to me. You take the good w/ the bad.

No, not really. He is the only friend that I have loaned any money to or bought anything extravegant for (Christmas 2006). But, many former friends of mine (men and women) and guys I have dated seem to take me for granted, walk all over me, and then disappear into thin air when they've gotten enough of me.

Hey dude! How are you? I have to agree w/ you on the XXJW thing. I come here to post some funny things, rant about life, and get advice about some things that overwhelm me. However, when I read a thread regarding shunning or something of the like is the only time I even remember anything about being a JW. I am not an XJW at this point in my life. I am Crissy and it feels great!

Hey Odrade! I didn't return his email and I am wondering if I should. I don't want to give him false hope that we will be close friends again, but I also don't want to become a heartless and cold. No one is perfect, but I have a very hard time dealing w/ and am getting very tired of guys who take whatever they want from me and then vanish into thin air. For some reason I am attracting the type of guys that think it's OK to use women.

He and I had minimal contact since the beginning of August to the beginning of January. We had only discussed repayment of the loan w/ minimal personal details. However, lately he is getting more personal w/ his conversations and calling me, "Because I was thinking about you and wanted to check in and see how you are doing". I have given him very little details of my life since August, as I don't want to open up to someone who treated me so harshly when I addressed how he made me feel. I answer all of his IMs and emails w/in minutes, as I am not the type of person to ignore someone. But, I can't bring myself to answer the phone when he calls. (I know, contradicts my previous statement, but he can see when I am on-line.) He was my best friend for almost 18 months and when I listen to his v/ms, I get upset remembering how close we were and how much fun we had compared to how distant we are now. I am afraid that if I hear his voice in real time, I may break down and start babbling about how I miss what we used to have.
I am home sick today and he caught me on-line and opened up a discussion about a tax refund and when I should be expecting more funds. As I am charging him interest on the loan, I told him that I would reconfigure his payment schedule and give him an amortization table regarding his payments and how they are going to be applied to the principle and interest. He shot back w/ a thank you email, but then proceeded to tell me how much he still cares about me and these past 6 months have been very weird for him and he would like to, sometime, talk to me about them. As someone who is now confused by the actions of many men in her life, I wonder if he says these things to get me to be more lenient regarding interest rates, payment schedules, and to total balance owed. I hate being this untrusting, but I have been used and hurt too much and for too long to believe any other way.

He's used it many times in his past posts, as well as using it on his profile and posting links to his myspace page and the site of the radio station where he works. Is that explicit concent?

My favorite part was when the multiple change in "the generation" teaching was being explained and he said, "Thanks for clearing THAT up.....not really."
