Have you noticed every statement you make is about you, your feelings, your wants, and your plans. I don't see an iota of concern for him or anyone else.

What's the point of even going to school or starting a business if he's going to buy you whatever you want?

I'd like to clarify that I didn't ask the guy for anything. He offers me what he sees I need.
How does he know you need it unless you ask? How would he know you need cash to start a business? You are asking, even if it's in an indirect way.

It's why I felt so wrong and afraid to open up, cause the more I did, the more he was caring and offering and I was frightened to recieve and be taking advantage of him.
You making it all about you again. Do you care at all about his feelings? or about what the right thing to do is? Why is there no mention of his feelings? Why do you ask us about the ethics if you're just going to keep saying things like "I have a right" to act this way and "it's ok because it's a phase"? Who are you trying to convince: us or yourself?

I think what's bothering me is your disconnect. There is no connection between your greedy wants and other peoples' feelings. There is no connection between grabbing handouts and your own confidence. There's also no connection between your motives and acknowledging the truth. Why ask others the ethics question when you've already spent alot of time dreaming up ways his money is going to make you happy?


Imagine the scenario of a teenager who is in a shopping frenzy at the mall with dad's stolen credit card. How much of her dream items can she snag before it ends? Isn't she so smart for finding a way to con money out of a nice guy? And in the long-term this experience will shape her character into someone who has learned to put her morals aside & be ok with taking instead of earning.
