The Guy That She’s Been Seeing Just Asked Her To Skip The Next Semester And Use Her College Fund To Pay To Get His Car Fixed
A 22-year-old girl met a 27-year-old guy named Paul on a dating app, and they’ve been seeing each other for the last 2 months.
They’ve gone out on a handful of dates so far, but they’re not exactly officially dating, and she does not call him her boyfriend.
“We’re still getting to know each other and the things we love vs hate,” she explained. “So for the past couple of weeks, he’s been sending me pics of his car that has been sitting in the mechanic (his cousin’s) shop for weeks.”
Paul kept telling her about every single thing on his car that needs to be fixed and went so far as to send her an entire list of that, along with the price of everything.
She stared at Paul’s message, curious about how in the world it had anything to do with her. Paul then mentioned that he was having a tough time financially, and he wanted to see if she would step up and pay for his car repairs.
He used the excuse of taking her on a road trip as soon as possible if she agreed to pay for his repairs.
It definitely didn’t make her feel comfortable that Paul asked this of her, since the cost of fixing his car is approximately $2,500, and she does not have money like that just lying around.
Paul revealed that he didn’t have the money to fix his own car, as he is paying for his mom’s hospital bills.
While his car has been broken, Paul has been relying on public transportation to get to his job as a caretaker, but he says that’s not an acceptable form of getting to where he needs to be.

“He brought up my college fund and suggested I skip one semester so I could pay for the car,” she said.
“I was shocked he brought that up, he knows how important college is for me but he assured me he’ll pay me back on time and that I only have to skip one semester and that’s it.”
She let Paul know that she was going to have to consider his request, but he didn’t give her the space at all to do that.
Paul promised to draw up something in writing so he could eventually pay her back as a way to try to get her to finally fork the cash over.
He continuously called her up even after she requested space, and finally, she told him she couldn’t give him $2,500 to fix his car.
Paul could not understand why she declined to lend that amount of money to him, so she mentioned that her college degree is the most important thing to her and she cannot give up a semester right now.
“He hung up saying he needed time then texted me saying that I did not show support after he made himself open and vulnerable, that I chose money over him by refusing to lend it to him, and that he is struggling and in need and that didn’t matter to me,” she continued.
“I felt really guilty and I started calling him but he texted me saying that he might respond when I make room for a compromise.”
Do you think it’s appropriate for Paul to ask her for that kind of money after only knowing her for 2 months?
