Dear Hillary,
She’s beautiful, has her own little dress shop and wants to move in with me. What can go wrong with this arrangement? It all seems too good to be true. I had known her for two months before we went dating and it just gets better and better, we go for dinner at least three times a week. The shop doesn’t make much profit so I’ve been happy to throw a few thousand baht into the kitty to keep her happy. Now here’s the problem, I am going back to the States next month and she is telling me that she needs a regular amount of money (50K) each month that she can rely on, and then she won’t need to go and work in the bars. I sort of feel I am being pressurized here. Is 50K a reasonable amount? It looks to me like a bit expensive, and we aren’t even living together.
Cliff
Dear Cliff,
Don’t jump off the cliff when you read my advice. You are being dressed for dinner, just like one of your thanksgiving turkeys. You are being offered nothing for 50K. Have you even seen the shop? Sometimes these “shops” are just a cover-up. Have you stopped to wonder how she can take so much time away from the shop? When she is off gallivanting with you, who looks after the shop? Petal, you are being set up by a scheming woman. My advice? Spend your 50K (per month!) on yourself. Forget about being the Issey Mayake of Pattaya, but be the Usain Bolt instead and hoof it!
