For context, I (26m) met this woman (28f) online and was talking with her for around a week. I know, it’s not a long time but it’s also a little tiring how stuff like this happens both irl as well as online.
Anyway, we were getting along pretty well. Lots of the same values, talking playfully, expressing how we’d like to meet up eventually. We also FaceTimed once so we could talk in real time.
She then told me about her side hustle which was investing. I thought it was cool and expressed how I had thought about getting into it too. However, I had different ideas from the type of investing that she does since I don’t have to time or knowledge to get into it. She also sent me a screenshot of her credit score and told me that constantly checking it was her “bad habit” which I thought was a little odd.
She then offered to help me out and sent a screenshot of an app that she apparently uses. I told her that I would think about it. Yesterday she asked if I had downloaded the app and I told her that I hadn’t. I also told her that I would be more comfortable if we got to know each other a little more and meet up irl before starting. As someone who works their butt off to save, I don’t make any decisions regarding money until I know it’s something safe and worth while.
She didn’t take this very well and ended up saying that we’re “incompatible” because I didn’t want to make a decision like this so quickly. She also told me that it was a red flag and that I was “not an honest man”.
I’m not heartbroken or anything like that. But I am tired of dealing with situations like these that end up going nowhere after finally getting a little bit of hope. Looking back on it, I’m confident she was trying to scam me or something so I’m glad that it didn’t work out either way.
