Love, or infatuation, can sometimes shield us from reality. We put on our rose colored glasses and in the words of BoJack Horseman, “All the red flags just look like flags.” You don’t see people for who they truly are, you want to see the best in them. We think that the reason they’re not texting us back is because of that insane Verizon outage, not that he’s just not that interested. We believe them when they say they’re going to change, for real this time. It happens to the best of us, and we really can’t be blamed. Sometimes we need the harsh light of say, a Reddit thread, to show us that we’re actually being taken advantage of.
This thread is a prime example of that. A dude, blinded by affection, fails to see the scam a woman is running on him. Read on for the wild details.
