So here is the deal. A woman I have known for about 3 years comes to me and asks me to help her with a legal matter. We actually dated about 3 times but we never became intimate. Over the past month I have had quite a bit of contact with her, letting her know how her situation is progressing ans so forth. I am doing the work for her pro bono. She has thanked me and offered to pay me later when her financial situation improves and I told her not to worry about it. Today I ran into her best friend at the grocery store and she was telling. me about her and that she knew I was representing her. Then she says to me.., " she is worried that she will be obligated to you or that you want something from her"
I said to her friend " make sure you tell her that all I am doing is trying to help her through a tough period in her life. I am not wanting a relationship out of this nor am I looking to sleep with her . Just trying to do her a favor and help her.
Two hours later she calls me and asks about her situation and is very cool acting. So now she is pissed off because I conformed to her friend that my helping her is strictly platonic? No good deed goes unpunished as the saying goes.
