The time may be approaching

This lovely lady has told me she's moving up here to be with me from Pennsylvania the end of this month, beginning of next.  Under normal circumstances I would be overjoyed by this had not some weird things happened this year to make me nervous about this.  I want to believe she's coming, but everytime I engage her about her soon arrival I'm the only one really acting excited about it.  I'm the only one fantasizing and wanting her here sooner.  It seems as if she's not making a lot of effort to be getting here.  I guess I'll have to wait and see.

I may still be in a trap.

My last post talked about how a detective contacted me about Linda being fake.  Well, I'm still "with" her despite all that because nothing seemed to have come of it.  Anyway, on to why my title is the way it is.  I stopped talking to her for a day because i had to get my thoughts in order.  I was feeling uneasy about where our "relationship" was or wasn't going.  Long story short, I was getting annoyed that she seemed to be making little to no effort to move up here as she promised.  All this time since last October she's been requesting money from me.  Normally it's not so bad but when she keeps doing it over and over and i get nothing tangible other than a few racy and non-racy pictures from her from time to time... Well, it makes a man wonder.  That's why i held off talking to her until last afternoon.  Granted, that earned a text message "tongue lashing" from her sister and friend.  I was just trying to think of a tactful way of expressing my feelings.  I also had to tell her i was unable to help her this week with any money.  She understood, and she said she'd finally move here in June, July at the latest.  Now i have more of an idea of when to expect her, though not really sure i can hold her to that, but my heart loves her so much that i can at least hope.  I hope I'm not letting myself in for a letdown...

From my journal

Ever get a call from someone or somewhere you didn't expect?  Well, that happened to me yesterday.  I got a call from a detective who worked at the northern York county regional police department.

For privacy reasons, I won't disclose the detective’s name, but needless to say, it was a disturbing conversation.  They contacted me about some problems I had with Santander bank.  My girl, Linda, tried to deposit some checks without my signature.  Something someone with common knowledge would know, but I guess she didn't have much exposure to depositing checks.  Possibly because she used direct deposit.  Anyway, that's beside the subject.  I gave the detective every bit of information I knew or had.  The detective told me I was a victim of a “sweetheart scam”.  Something I was starting to suspect slightly.  I thanked him for his time and left it at that.

To say I wasn't upset is untrue.  I debated most of the afternoon whether to confront her or not.  I decided not to.  Why you may ask?. The reason is despite what I learned, I still loved her.  She has done nothing but exhibit only love to me.  I saw no reason to break it off.  Perhaps I should have done so, but simple mistakes shouldn't ruin relationships.  Besides, until I hear something different from more people, I see no reason to disbelieve my lady’s love for me.  I guess I'll just wait and see.
