What's the most powerful fitness equipment?
There is a fitness equipment store from down the street from my home. The owner is a fat old man who lives with 3 German Sheperds . I believe he has no wife or any immediate family. I say hi and chat with him when I'm out jogging and we've been socially friendly level no flirting He has told me that he thinks I am good looking and shows me photos of himself from the 70's when he was younger. He offered me thousands in cash if I can help him sell his business. So I introduced him to my sister who is a realtor about listing. We had lunch to follow up and he brings 2 of his old friends . I was very uncomfortable. He apologized at the restaurant " I'm sorry about my friends ..it's just that they are here at the store .."We had 3 old men gawking at us. After he signed a check for a listing he asked me if he can kiss me on the cheek goodbye. As I am walking out he yells " I'm gonna try to look how I did when I was younger " We can use the extra monetary funding . Do you think he is using money as a bait for something more sinister ? Do you think he is a pervert ? Is it odd for an old man to just randomly make a cash offer to a younger woman ? Does he sound fishy to you ? I feel that he is getting way too much happiness by being around me and it makes me feel taken advantage of. What do you think his motive is ?
sounds like a 'dirty old man' to me I can give him credit tho he met you in a public place, maybe not as good as it could be but don't meet him anywhere that there are not plenty of people around
i would recommend that when he trys to show you pictures or asks for a kiss, that you make it very clear that your relationship is professional. just say something like, 'now that me and my sister are handling your listing, i really want to do this right and keep our relationship professional" people that have done some illegal business actions often try to pay in cash because it is untraceable and it's easier to hide that income from the tax authorities (for example, how often do you think a drug dealer claims the cash he gets for drugs on his taxes), but i don't think this guy is doing that- i think he's talking cash to try to impress you. I think that's why he brought his friends along, he wanted to show them what a good 'catch' he had to show off to his friends. he's probably the type of guy that's so starved for attention from women he thinks that by you saying 'hi' to him, that means that you like him. he's also pretty lonely. he's misinterpreting your relationship and it's your job to put it in place.
Yes, it is odd for a stranger to randomly select ppl to hand out thousands of dollars to for free. Cannot say for sure what his motives are, but seldom does free money come without strings. Even if he is good hearted and wants to help you out, I would politely decline. This could be a lonely man looking to buy friends, or friends that he will expect some type of favor from in the future. You have stated he thinks you are good-looking, wants to kiss you on the cheek, and change himself to look younger, perhaps so that he will seem more appealing to you. Sounds like flirting to me. It could also be someone who is a bit unbalanced who may not be able to afford to give away his money. It could be his retirement fund. It was very kind of you to direct him towards your sister who is in the business of helping ppl sell their businesses and/or property. Yes the money could be useful to you, but follow your intuition. Do you really feel it is right to accept money from a man without him wanting something in return? It could cause more problems than you anticipate. I would be friendly and polite, but make it clear you will not accept his money.
I think your motive is greed. It was a business transaction. Why did you allow a kiss at all? Strange.
I don't think you need anyone to answer this question - you know the answer yourself. An old man offering cash to a pretty young girl? Asking to kiss you goobye. Vowing to get back into shape and look like he did in the 70's. Those are not comments made in a regular conversation with someone you are just socially polite to. You need to get rid of this guy fast. Start jogging a different route. If you run into him and feel forced to say hello, say it but keep moving. Your friendliness has been misunderstood by him as "interest" on your part and that's why he keeps taking things a step further and further. I'm like you - I like to believe in the inherent goodness in everyone, but the unfortunate truth is that there are creeps and perverts out there using various methods to entice people into their lives. He may indeed be a very nice man who is just lonely and likes someone to converse with, EXCEPT for the point that he is escalating his interest in you by asking for a kiss, offering you money - what do you think will be the next thing? The fact that you "feel he is getting way too much happiness by being around me" says that your intuition has already kicked in and you know damn well that you are getting in over your head with this. DO NOT take any cash from this man. If he assaults you later and you end up in court, the judge will look very poorly at the fact that you took money from him. The old man can use as his defense that by taking cash he assumed you were agreeing to go further with him. If your sister sells the business she will get her commission - that money is legal. Any cash you take out of his hand is questionable.
