I'm 36 years old but still single. I urgently need to find a girlfriend and, further, consider getting married.
I work for an import-export company in Hanoi. I have just finished paying off a small apartment, so I don't have much money left, and my savings are only about 400 million VND.
My parents in the countryside are nearly 70 years old, always anxious and worried because I have never brought anyone home to meet them.
Seeing that I was busy with work and it was difficult to find someone suitable in the office environment, my sister guided me to use a dating app to quickly find a lover. At first, I was not very excited, but after talking to a few people, I noticed her.
She is 20 years old, working as a bartender at a bar on Ta Hien old street, Hanoi. The first time we met, I went to the bar, sat at the counter watching her work and chatted whenever she had free time.
She is a pretty girl who knows how to make herself beautiful. She started working at the age of 18 so she understands life, is quick-witted and good at speaking.
I'm old and still get scammed by young girls when dating through online dating apps.
After that, we had 2 more dates to go out to eat and to the movies. I learned that she was from the same hometown, her parents were divorced, her father had remarried. She didn't like the situation of a stepmother and stepchild, so she chose to live independently early. Every time we went out together, she was quite fair, if I paid for the meal, she was willing to invite me to the movies or have coffee. The more we interacted, the more I liked her and had the intention of confessing my love.
One day, she texted me asking to borrow money. The amount wasn’t much, only about 2 million VND. She said she needed to go back to her hometown to take care of her sick mother. Since the divorce, her mother had been living alone taking care of her elderly grandmother, so she needed to go back immediately. I didn’t think much about it, just transferred her 5 million VND to take care of the family. She thanked me and promised to pay me back.
On the due date, she said she couldn’t pay the debt yet and asked me to extend the payment. I didn’t want to demand the debt urgently because I thought of her family’s difficult situation. What I didn’t expect was that she asked to borrow more money, and for the second time with the same reason, I lent her 5 million VND.
The next time, she said she needed living expenses but it was not yet time for her salary payment so she wanted me to lend her some money and would pay her back as soon as she got paid. After that, she said she had just had a motorcycle accident and hoped I could lend her money for medicine and repair costs. At the peak, she asked me to borrow 20 million VND to pay for her mother's medical expenses. Just like that, the total amount she owed me was up to 80 million VND.
Although she owed a lot of money and hadn't paid it back, I didn't mind because it was normal to support the girl you were dating. What made me sadder was that it was very difficult to meet her. She kept saying she was busy with work and had to take care of her family to avoid meeting her. Seeing that I couldn't meet her, I went to the shop where she worked to look for her, but the manager said she had quit for a while and didn't know where to work now. When I got to her place of residence, she had already moved. Now, the only way to contact her is through social media.
I felt uncomfortable and boldly texted her about paying me back, but every time I texted her she didn't reply, only answered my calls. She gave the excuse that she had gone back to her hometown to take care of her mother and was looking for a new job in Hanoi, and that she would pay me back as soon as things were stable.
My friends all told me I was scammed, but I stubbornly refused to believe it. The amount of money she owed wasn't too big, so I didn't want to make a big deal out of it, still hoping to keep this relationship. I was afraid that if I demanded the money back, she would lose all feelings for me. I thought that if she agreed to be my girlfriend, I would be willing to let her owe me.
But it turned out that it was just my illusion, because in the last contact, I realized that I had been blocked by her online and since then she had completely "evaporated", I had no way to find her.
I was both embarrassed and angry, more angry at myself for being stupid than at her. Maybe from now on, I won't dare to date online again.
