They won't steal from you, they won't lie to you. They WILL brush up against you, jump on your lap for some fuss, meow for food or to go out and sleep for some 16 hours of the day.

lona726: You know I would like to know what part I played. Well actually I know...I am an enabler and i am galible
I know what you're going through. It happened to me 4 times. This time i'm taking my time and already have friends. My advice - don't give up, there will be someone out there.
lona726: Well the title says it all. A short and sweet version of what is happening is I was dating a guy who used me bad. told me he was 32 turned out to be 38. Got arrested after telling me he would never commit a crime and then lying about his crime. Later I find out he stole my credit card. I have been used and betrayed on every level. I have so much faith in people but starting to think that my faith may not be in the right place, maybe i should stick to my cats. lol
Hi... My name is Bayubadum... Im blond tall rich a Jedi Knight by occupation ...and I write haiku poetry ....
felixis99: Actually it's very often decent women who meet up with scoundrels, and mistakenly trust them because their past experiences have taught them that people are trustworthy. At some point everyone goes through some disillusionment about that, but it sounds like the OP had it tougher than most.
Once the trust of a innocent is destroyed, it is very hard to earn it back, and just as hard for the innocent person to award it again.

I prefer cats over some humans!
My cat does steal chicken or ham in my plate when I'm not looking. Then she looks at me with a very innocent face. "What? Me? Oh no! I didn't do anything bad." I love her, she's the nicest and adorable cat in the world!
"The more I look at humans, the more I like my cat"

Hi!
Never give up hey you are only 21 and have your whole like ahead of you ! Maybe I can understand the guy saying he is younger then he is,both male and female do this ! and I see by your profile you as most females in the US are sticking to a small grouping, Would do put my own age down but to many darn tram lines on my face to get away with it
There are good guys still out there sad thing is the younger ones tend to go off the rails more then the older guys, But never never give up
gabrielle95: One day she did jump on the table and ran away with the chicken I was eating. Having fork and knife in my hands, I didn't have time to stop her. I did laugh a lot .... untill I saw the tomato sauce all over the white carpet from the dining-room to the bedroom when she was under my bed.

Sorry to hear of this horrible experience. We live and learn. Trust is something that is to be built over time. I hope you'll recover from this and be able to see the good in people---by their actions and reactions over time.
By nature, I trust nobody...until they prove me otherwise.

very true indeed, and it's always the good people that bad things happen too don't matter which gender..I have come to the conclusion that being somewhat suspisious has become a nessessity ..giving the benefit of doubt yes but with having the guard up until certain things check out to be true.. but the truth also is everybody lies..even us good people do..we lie about things because we are ashamed of telling the truth or we do not want to hurt the feelings of others ..I guess it depends on what the lie is about and if we have the power to overlook it does this make any sence ?

Well, that used to be me... and for years its been me.. but now that I am older and hopefully wiser, I have thrown doubting thomas outta the window and I am going to give dating a go...
I figure that a experience is / will be better than no experience.

Oh, I'm not against dating by any means. I have faith in that, but I've learned that unconditional trust is something that is to be acquired over time. Seeing is believing...and believing is being. No over-night thing.

Sorry to hear this happened to you. There are good people out there but its getting that the nasty ones are out numbering the good ones. All I can say is be very cautious especially when it comes to your heart.
lona726: You are very right I am not bitter just feel like an idiot because I just tried so hard to be a good person and keep getting kicked in the butt
Dont feel that way.any one can be scammed. Yes it dose hurt but you will be stronger for it in the end. all you can do is keep going and be carefull. As a good person my self. I hope you find what your looking for

Good people do exist. And really are not rare creatures who are hidden. Just don't let the bad start building high walls or you will keep everyone out. Then you will find yourself living alone with your two elderly dogs and cat being very untrusting of every man that ask you out oh wait that is me. Sometimes in life the road is going to be a little bumpy. Learn move on. Life is short. Hope you find the perfect shoe for your foot.
