Am I getting love scammed?
I met this guy 34M(interior designer) on bumble about 2.5 months ago and we went on a few dates. He had asked me to his girlfriend on the 3rd date to which i agreed but it kind of fizzled out after awhile but we are now back in contact again.
I have been to his condo(which he used to stay with his late mum) a few times too and he stays alone. His mother has passed away about 2 years and his dad was never around.
Today he suddenly asked me for a favour and asked if i could lend him $2k and he’d return me in october. He did say its ok to say no and then later on he said he just sold his condo and the money will only come in october and hence right now he needs some cash for the removals and stuff.
I find this a little suspicious because he always seemed the kind that didnt have any financial problems and he usually paid for most of our meals.
I dont mind lending him about 1k because i just graduted uni and am starting my new job soon and dont have much to myself either.
So was wondering what are yours opinions…. im afraid he will disappear once i lend him the money.. does this sound suspicious or legitimate request.. i do like him alot but im afraid i might be blinded

- Consider: even if it was NOT a scam, would you want to be in a relationship with someone that asks for $2k after less than 3 months? Either that person is really bad/irresponsible with finances or they’re trying to take advantage of you. Can you live your life with this person?
- In any case, a 34M interior designer who doesn’t even have $2K handy or can’t manage his finances to need $2K is a red flag, scam or no scam.
- Scam. Can sell condo but no money on hand? Don’t even think of lending 1k, that money you can kiss goodbye
