Dating 101: Viable Option or Are You Chasing Waterfalls?
Lately, I have been having conversations with people about their “assumed” relationships. There was the former colleauge who called me out the blue to brag about her new relationship. She went on and on about her new boyfriend and how happy she was. The more she shared, the more of the picture I started to get. According to her, her “man” is well known in the music industry. Presently, she is unemployed. However, he is “wealthy” and is finishing up a job in London. He has a few homes in Germany and when he is finished with his job in London, he planned to return to the States and so they could move to Germany together.
She told me that she expressed a little hesitancy to move overseas without a job, but her “boyfriend” reassured her that since she is going to be his wife, he will take her of her. Of course! Currently, she is driving Uber and delivering food with Door Dash to support herself.
I immediately thought to myself, if he is so wealthy and plans on supporting her when they move, why can’t he start supporting her now so she doesn’t have to do these gig jobs? Or in the very least, doesn’t have to do them as much?
I asked her how they met. She confessed she had not actually “met” him in person, but they were introduced through friends and have been communicating online, FaceTime, etc. Aha…
