A time to say No

Roberta Jackson · Tuesday, April 21st 2009 at 12:27AM · 162 views
I meet this person through on line and he did not live far from me. In we have been talking over the phone until he said bring an over night bag because you are staying with me this weeken. Mine you, he did not ask me but telling me what I am going to do. Quickly, I block his number out. I guess he want something that I wasn't really for. I did care how much money he made, he had to go. I love me and I respect me, and if he thought that he was going to get him some, wrong thought, he is not the one. Money can not by love. Has anyone else experience something like this?

Hi Roberta, I think it all depends on the type of conversations the two of you have had. I don't think you needed to completely block him out, maybe you could have just talked to him and let him know that you weren't comfortable with staying with him. I think sometimes we as women try so hard to assert ourselves and not let men run over us that we may miss out on something good. You never know, he may have respected you even more for putting your foot down and the two of you could be on your way to bigger and better things in the future.

I agree with Tamika to an extent, but in the end, it's important that you trust your own intuition. You need to protect yourself. It's hard to find that balance of being open but still keeping our self-respect. The fact that he told you what to do rather than asking you what you want sounds suspicious. Would you feel comfortable asking him why he did this?
