Was it a bad idea to send her money?

[Anonymous]

There’s a girl I met online, who I like l.
I like her so much..

One day we were joking around & Talking about something she’s always wanted to buy.
She wasn’t asking me for anything. We were just talking.

So I offered to buy her the thing she’s always wanted, & She was super grateful.. Very grateful
it was cheap, only like 30 Bucks.

So I bought it & had it shipped to her

Now randomly she’s complaining about money troubles.. Like groceries & stuff
Was that a bad idea? Did I just feed a stray cat?

I think she was testing you first to see if she could start using you. You’re not the first person to have that happen to and luckily it was $30 to begin with. Don’t help her out with her financial problems. That’s her problem and her job to fix. If she keeps crying about her financial situation or if she talks about how she wants something, block her out of your life.

i think was a very very nice of you to make that gift , i did that too once, and happened the same as you, i d realized she was about to ask me money for her rent time after my gift and a couple of times we went for a dinner, so i knew where this was going so id just begin to take "distance" and move on, months later she send me a email, telling me about a guy she met who have a lot of money , i think i didn't even reply,. good luck !

You just fed a stay cat lol

Don't feed the cat again - tell her about Dave Ramsey.

It's a bad idea even assuming it's not a nigerian scammer, which is what I immediately think of when you say woman, online and money.
