I met a girl on tinder and we agreed to meet up.
One hour before the date, she texted me saying that she was stuck somewhere and asked if I could send her $50 to grab over.
My first instinct was that something was a bit fishy: Grab is not cheap, but surely it can’t be $50 right?!
Anyway, if she has no money for grab, can’t she just take public transport? Our public transportation may be crap at times, but 1hr is enough to get to the city centre from almost anywhere in Singapore.
So many questions. Nevertheless, her pictures looked hot, so my small head took over and I paid up anyway.
That was six months ago. Today, I would consider us to be a steady couple. Admittedly my GF does have some financial issues now and then, but I would rather have a GF who is cute and blur about money rather than a GF who is clever and scheming with money.
tldr: Not everything is a scam! Don’t reject girls simply because they ask for money before meeting up.

- Create an offshore account and send in 50% of your salary monthly. Never tell anyone about it.
And no joint accounts either.
Don’t ask, just do it. - You don’t mind having financial issues in the future? Earn 10k spend 10k that is fine with you?
