Context of all the replies here, yes should be very careful but could also be a great experience.
Had a WG where we had a really good connection. She didn't have that bad of a sob story, just helping her family out of debt, which is always a red flag, but never asked me for money. She quit being a WG and we kept contact, as she lives in SZ, though she's from hunan. We would meet up and have dinner together and we'd exchange on who pays etc. Quite fair.
She invited me once over to her apt in Shenzhen and i went over and slept there as she asked me to stay the night. She didn't ask for money or for a relationship, can tell she was just lonely and i always treated her well and with respect. never asked her for nookie or anything, but she would always initiate.
funnily enough one time she asked if she can borrow some money to pay for her hospital bills. she got into an accident. actually met her at the hospital and i paid the bills myself it was around 1.5k rmb. she seemed very grateful and told me she'll pay me back after she gets her salary. one month later we meet up she has the cash with her and pays me. never asked me for money again.
doubt it was an elaborate scheme to fool me in the future, but i'm sure there's a gem where they're not all trying to play you. we still keep in touch and we meet up. sometimes for nookie, sometimes not, she's quite resourceful especially when i need something in shenzhen or looking for something.
not all are wilted flowers. but 99% are haha | |
