Health and "I don't have money" excuses

Dear Hunny:

Please don't put up with this nonsense anymore, you can do better. He is saying "I don't have money" because he wants you to feel bad and offer some. They rarely will directly ask for money.

The health/hospital excuse: For getting something you want from medicine, a relationship, sympathy or money, it has got to be the number one excuse.

I've lived over in the UK, and it's a hassle to get a doctor's note because of it, but in terms of these international dating scams, it's just a way to try and melt your heart. I signed up for a Catholic dating site once and I got that excuse five times in three months. We also get a lot of customers and employees who call in sick for work and appointments.

It's really no different here, Hunny. Just another man who lies to get what he wants. Pure, plain and simple.
