#Sometimes I feel bad for letting homeless men buy me stuff all the time

Maybe I shouldn't feel bad for this, but sometimes I do. Quite often, homeless people (especially men) will offer to take me out to get food and stuff. I think it's mostly because they're into me honestly—after enough interactions and where they typically lead. But that goes over my head a lot of the time, and I hope they're just doing it to be kind... So I accept their offers usually every time. Idk how to feel about it sometimes.

Now its possible they're bring weird but also possible they're being kind and just doing a good deed

#

Usually they try to hit on me

#

Idk if it's wrong to still accept their offers, if I have no intention on having any sort of romantic or explicit relationship with them

Um, one I really hope you are not a minor? And two that you are keeping yourself safe?
Cause it's a situation that could very easily get dangerous for you.

They'll usually just buy me some snacks and a drink from 7-11 or smthn

#

Usually around a bunch of other people too

#

Yeah it's usually a bunch of other homeless dudes that also are waiting their turn to hit on me... But still

I'd say it's morally wrong if they're homeless, but that's just me.

#

Like it's morally wrong of them or me?

I mean, as someone who has been close to being homeless a lot of times and actually interacted with the homeless services I kind of find it difficult to quite describe the experience. A lot of these people are unfortunately mentally unwell in a very complex way and some also have a duel diagnosis with drugs and alcohol. It's obviously not all as there are other reasons you can become homeless like ||domestic violence|| in your household but it's... I don't know. Please just be careful alright?

I only find it strange because 1. I hope they're not doing it with the expectation of me giving them something in return

The sucky part is, a lot of these men expect favors in return, too

Like this dude offered me $10, so I met him at the bank. He took out $40, and said he'd give it to me if I engaged in NSFW interactions w him in his car

#

I said no, and he gave me $20 anyway

#

But I'm pretty sure he was pissed

wary summit

#

Yeah. I just find myself in sketchy situations a lot

wary summit
#

Yeah this is really unusual honestly

prisma garnet
#

Usually it's not

#

But I still accept it because... Why wouldnt I? It's money

#

Or food

#

Um why are you hanging out with these people? I do have friends in the homeless services but they are around my age and I'm kinda careful about who I'm interacting with. I think you need to be careful. Especially if they being dodgy with NSFW type things. I wouldn't accept the money, I'd just run a mile in the opposite direction.

And that sucks but that's the truth

#

I don't meet other teenagers very often

oak sun
#

Can you confirm that you aren't a minor please Road? Cause if you are what is happening with these men is really worrying and needs to be reported to police really.

#

I hung out w 3 dudes the other night who were 21, 25, and 30 actually. They're probably some of the youngest friends I've made

#

Nah men have been hitting on me since I was like 12. It's not like I've ever let them in my pants, y'know?

#

Itd be nice if they didn't assume I would let them... But that's just how it is

#

When my boyfriend is around it doesn't happen as much

#

See and then

#

Idk when dudes just wanna be my friend or when they want smthn else

#

Like this dude stopped me the other day while I was walking around downtown and we walked together. He gave me $20 and gave me his number and asked if I wanna hang out

#

Cuz he had to go

#

Now he's texting me and asking to meet up

#

I never know what to expect.

wary summit
#

This whole situation is really odd so just be careful

#

My boyfriend says it's because I'm "legitimately extremely beautiful and sweet"

#

See now this dude is coming to the library to pick me up

#

I met him like 2 days ago

#

I read this whole discussion and it seems like you’re trying to justify them giving you money/food, which I don’t get why

#

Not my fault the government won't give me Food stamps

sudden totem
#

It isn’t, but you should find other ways to get food

Cuz like I said, they have food stamps. I don't. Y'know?

sudden totem
#

Yeah but it doesn’t change the fact that you’re putting yourself in an unsafe situation when you accept things from them dude

#

Like it sounds really sketchy

prisma garnet
#

Yeah I know. Some dude just showed up to the library and told me to go meet up w him literally rn

#

So ironically I have to go

#

This is kinda just my life

sudden totem
#

It’s a choice

#

You gotta take care of yourself man, don’t put yourself in bad situations
