just imagine. maybe he would die from a heart attack?

Had a boyhood friend, that I 'grew up" with that was the biggest money grubbing SOB you could ever imagine, and took every opportunity to make certain that 'some one else' paid for 'gas, or anything else involved in a 'night out", including any 'gaming' machine costs, pool table cost etc.

We had a mutual 'acquaintance' whose family was an 'heir' to the Saalfield Publishing Company, fortune, in Akron, Ohio, in that he got a monthly check from the estate of the Saalfield family fortune, and my 'friend' knew that and would go out on a Friday or Saturday night, drinking and partying on 'our friend's" money, and never offered to pay a dime.

I wised up to this 'sponge', quickly, and learned to see that he paid his SHARE of whatever we spent on a 'night out' with the 'boys', but it seems the other guy was somewhat lonely, and had few friends and allowed this unscrupulous jerk to 'leach' off of him.

On the flip side, I had a work associate here in California, that was from Pakistan, and he was the absolute antithesis of my 'sponge' boyhood friend, and this man refused to let me pay when we went out to lunch, during our work time.

Have you ever had a so-called-sponge "friend' like I describe above, and if so how did you handle it? Did you just shut him off as a "party person" or just 'dump; him as a friend, or did you find a way to make him pay up when he/she should have?

I am visiting my family for the Christmas holiday. I have a cousin who is younger than me and has 3 kids and is married. Her eldest child I believe is already in Kindergarten!

I am 28 years old and I believe I am still relatively young. Although, seeing most of my former friends and those my age with kids that are growing, it makes me feel incredibly old!

I can understand maybe not having kids right now, but sadly, I have never even been in a real relationship. I never had my first real girlfriend! I seek a woman without a romantic past where we can be each other's first real relationship. I seek a woman that has never had her first love. I may never find that and may grow to be that lonely old man that I fear to become.
