Day three: Today I do not want to be writing this. I have a new idea,
and I want to play around with that, but I'm determined to be
disciplined about this. Last night I ate some curry. I woke up feeling
every bone and joint so now I'm wondering what was in that, and won't
be finishing the leftovers either. A couple weeks ago I met a woman. She
and I have been talking periodically, and yesterday she told me some
very surprising things.
Her boyfriend broke up with her via text message when she was at
work. Before she started going out with him, she had been talking to
another guy that she met online. This guy told her that he lived in a
very small town and worked on the family farm. During conversations she
discovered that he was a firefighter, and he was going to come down to
see her this weekend, but he had an alumni basketball game to attend.
My friend has met this guy, she told me that he drove down to see
her, and they had the best sex ever that weekend. In addition to working
on a farm, he owns his own truck. That appeals to her as do many of the
other things he's told her about himself and the life that he
supposedly is leading. What made my friend suspicious is she tried to
find out this guy's last name using internet tools, and can't find
anyone who lives in the town that he says he does who works for the fire
department.
Furthermore, she searched through the people who are going to be
playing in the alumni basketball game, and she can't find this person
either. He sent her a picture of the side of his truck, but it's too
blurry and grainy for her to see what the name of the company is to do a
Google search. She's thought about calling the fire department, but is
reluctant to do that in case he gets upset or is tipped off that someone
is looking for him.
The bottom line; I'm worried about my friend. I think she's making a
mistake in trusting someone she knows almost nothing about who is
secretive, and apparently lying to her about his real name at the very
least. I don't know what I should say to my friend. She's an adult, she
knows what can happen, and maybe the only thing I can do is listen, and
pray since no one
wants to be told what to do.
