About six months ago is the first time that I met my girlfriend, and since the moment we met and later started dating I thought that she was going to be the one.

I had so much fun with her, she had a good sense of humor, and she was gorgeous.

The first few months into our relationship were great, but after a few more months went by I began to notice some strange patterns. One of the biggest things that I noticed was her constantly asking me to help fix her heating and cooling unit. I am a certified HVAC repair tech for my profession, and even though I don’t like doing free repairs for people, I decided to make an exception since we were dating. After I began to fix her heating and cooling unit whenever it was having problems, she also started asking me almost every day if I could get her a sweet deal on the latest and greatest HVAC heating and cooling units. I was talking to my friend about it one day because it was weighing heavy on my mind. Not even a minute after I had finished telling him my story he looks at me and simply says “she’s just using you, dude!” After I finally heard that, it all made sense. All of the endless unofficial service repair checks at her home, the begging for deals on new HVAC units, and the huge list of things I had fixed for her all led to this same conclusion. After I called her out on it, she didn’t even try to deny the fact. It was a bit of a punch in the gut to have been led on for half of a year, but at least I know what to watch out for with my next partner.
