Duped: You Like Being with Me
In a busy world with all sorts of clubs, organized activities, groups, etc., it can be difficult to find people who aren’t involved with tons of people and tons of activities. When you encounter someone who actually will hang out with you when you ask, who doesn’t have to pencil you in for an hour coffee two months from now, and who says they really enjoy your company, it can be quite refreshing.
You can start to get used to their availability and the reliability of hanging out with a consistent companion. You even invite them to be with your family, your kids, and other group activities.
From there, it’s easy to assume that you have a special connection with this person.
But not so fast. What else does this person do with their time when you’re not around? Do they show up whenever anyone invites them? Do they ever invite you? How much do you actually know about this person? Do they ever introduce you to other people in their lives? Consider all of these things, as well as what I have brought up in my other ‘Duped’ articles.
It’s fine to enjoy companionship, but don’t get too involved and invested without fully knowing what’s going on with the other person and who they are. Keep your eyes and ears open.
