Was this old lady being nice and weird or was she seriously trying to give me advice?

this lady seemed completely fascinated by your looks - it does seem like a wonderful combination.  \nOther than that - people are just people and there is no guarantee that you will like a particular race of persons more than another.  The only think that I can ever believe will work is to be yourself no matter who you meet and try to get to know a person before going to far with the physical part of the relationship.  But sounds like you know that because you are waiting and taking the time to think about what the lady said.\nI don't think it matters if she was serious or not, only what you believe.  \nHope you enjoyed your meal!  But it just proves once again what I have always told my children - there is no such thing as a free lunch.  God Bless!

Yes, a woman with whom I was a really good friend (I will call her Jane) just turned on me and almost refuses to talk to me now. We don't live near each other anymore, so it's not as big a deal now as it once was. But I have no idea what I did or said to turn her against me. I am one who has really good relationships with people and long-term friendships. So this really took me by surprise.\n\nJane and I used to spend hours together every week and a lot of time on the phone. We were both members of the same professional association. I saw her there and she was really rude to me like I had offended her in a big way. \n\nI am still mystified by this situation and it took place nearly eight years ago. I was told, by a mutual friend who asked me about the break up that Jane had done this in other relationships. That made me feel a little less confused, but I am still saddened by the loss of what I considered a great friendship.

Tricky, I think its bad judgement especially because of what she told you about gold digging, but at the same time she's living.  Shes a grown 50 year old woman with lots of experience in life and I'm sure she's more than aware of the consequences of the decision she made.  I wouldnt be concerned, but like you said, shocked and taken back.Maybe he's the type of guy who doesnt take no for an answer and she felt forced into taking the money...who knows

I think it would be funny if you did something completely outlandish...like say you're going to buy some expensive car or go somewhere exotic that you know she can't afford.  Then watch as they do those things and they see that you don't. You can then just sit and shake your head on the sidelines.  If you do it enough times maybe she'll get the hint and stop trying to be you.  \nHowever, I do have to say it sounds like she really looks up to you.  You must be a strong, creative person with a good head on your shoulders and she is looking to you almost as a role model...which is sad and sweet all at the same time.  If it continues maybe some subtle hints from you and others that have seen her "copy" you might do the trick.  Like saying "Wow, are you going to do EVERYTHING I do...ha, ha, ha?" or "Well, you end up doing all the things I'm going to do anyway" in front of others (not in a mean way) would get her mind rolling and hopfully open her eyes to what she is doing.  Man, if those things don't work you may need to move...then agian she might follow...UGH!!!  Good luck :)

Look this same exact thing happened to me and i swear i was about to go physco on this guys a**, but he wasn't sincere at all in his apoligy, so if you said you were sorry in a certain tone of voice she might have taken it in a way like you didn't really mean it, and maybe the 2nd time you said it nicer and she knew you were sincere, so it could just be the way you said it.

Yes !  Dang it I go to alot of trouble to come up with those questions...the least the could do is give me an lol along with the thanks weirdo.   I am still freakin over the weird old lady comment from the other day.  Do you thinkI  have grounds to report them for abusing me????  lol..Why not its a big reporting free for all around here!!\n\nNow what was your question..oh yeah..I am still trying to discover my purpose in life.  At the moment I am pretty sure it has something to do with dishes and laundry   :-)

I think that it is absoutely okay!  Mature people have more experience (learnt from their own or other peoples' mistakes)... They can give better advise than someone of her age group

Not necessarily.\nSometimes you might get a response for an older person who will sound something more like your parents or grandparents.  I and many others are more interested in giving askers answers that might help rather than just spitting out what your peers are going to tell you.\nJust be careful what you ask.  You might get back some surprising answers.

Ma'am, aren't you the same lady who asked that hilarious "What would you DO in such a situation?" question before where you spoke of an 80 year old lady  and another hilarious hypothetical question involving pee?\n\nI just saw that I'd got three thumbs down for bursting into laughter there.\n\nMay I just compliment your great sense of humor, ma'am?\n\nI really needed these laughs.\n\nThank you.

I saw a really old lady yesterday.  She was about 90.  She wore an orange Baseball cap with sms on it.  She had an orange blouse with big white flowers, orange trousers, bright fluro orange socks, and bright orange sneakers.  I can not imagine where she found the sneakers.  Every item was a different coloured orange YUK

maybe your trying too hard to be funny. I know some people like that and its kind of annoying. Tell her you werent talking to her or you dont care what she thinks if shes being mean

I think this lady has a problem, not just with you, but with her mind.You might have a fatal attraction situation.I think you should understand sometimes people take the smallest kindnesses as a way to intrude in your life. I think you should tell her once again that your not interested in her or having a relationship with her. I will say that never let anyone define you, You know who you are inside, so don't give her a second thought. I think your nice to even wonder about her, that does you have integrity and care about others feelings.

I took the new 22 year old supervisor "out back" and taught her the facts of life.  Has never done the job a day in her life but she found it necessary to "supervise" someone with 30 years experience instead of the employees that are NOT doing the job.  I quickly let her know, when she "barked" at me in front of customers, that I do not appreciate the arbitrary use of authority.  \n\nShe's healing very nicely.\n\nPeace.
