Hi all,

A quick question for everyone, I would love to hear your opinion!

How do you know when someone is really not a genuine friend and just using you!

I seem to have the worst luck when it comes to being a judge on a persons character, I tend to trust all the wrong ones, and don't trust the right ones.

So I'd like to ask you all what rules or guidelines, if any...that you have to weed out the users and low lifes??

For example, do you buy drinks for them only so many times..and if you get nothing in return, do you stop buying them anything altogether?...do you do things to test their friendship?? Or is it just a gut feeling that the person is only using you for their own personal gain??

I would love all input

thanks

Sky
