Taking Advantage Of A Virgo

@CL-"Never make someone a priority when you are only an option for them"-C.Powell
Yes this type of scenerio sounds so familiar also.I had someone I knew for along time and after telling me about the weekend she spent money on her boytoy,two weeks later she called crying for rent money.Meanwhile,she had a full time job and two adult sons at home.I said no.I even changed my phone number.When I told my story to the phone company rep,she didn't even charge me for the change!How's that for being rewarded for being proactive!
Yes,you were right to pick her up the first time-no woman should be stranded,but this is now different.She has a boyfriend.(He has the capacity to work/get car.)She has enough money to dye her hair.She also has enough money to pay a babysitter.She has access to the school handbook as what to do to make arrangemens pertaining to her assignments.She could get a cab/bus voucher or take the semester off.These days a person is just about required to have internet access,so they aren't"stranded"at school all hours of the night.It seems if she has a temporary fix,then screw planning for tomorrow.Yeah,I know you know this already,but stepping back and looking in on the situation can give you the inner strength/perspective to just say no.Really she has a big brass pair.
Maybe take her aside on a Friday before class and tell her,that your personal schedule has changed and you can't accomodate her anymore.You do not have to say anything beyond that.Then make plans with your real friends or drive out of the parking lot in the opposite direction.When she calls again,don't answer.Don't you have campus security?She can sit with them until her cab comes.(By saying no,you are actually help her to grow up and make solid plans for herself.)If the shoe was on the other foot,would she seriously help you??Think in those terms.-Because I can hear the excuse now-"Oh,my boyfriend doesn't want to watch the baby while I go out".Being responsible is also being responsible to put your safety and care first.Does she even care that you are a single woman driving through these streets alone?After 11?And you have to get up for work as well?It sure doesn't look that way.Don't give up on the rest of us,there are still some serious likeminded folks out there.
