We went out to eat tonight and he didn't even offer to pay. It was Jack-in-the-Box for God's sake. Anyway, then he needed a ride to pick up some stuff and then asked for a ride to the supermarket where he whipped out food stamps to pay for his $15 order.
I guess the food stamps thing did it.
A 30 yr old guy on food stamps is just not my type. No matter how nice he is. LOL.

Anyway, thank you all for the great advice and thank you for not telling me to give him a chance. *sigh*

You are so weird! Even after Jeff calls you out, you are still posting updates to your fictional story?

Next time, come up with something more entertaining - like the guy who was stalking his kid's teacher. That was good until he went overboard.

Paper food stamps were discontinued years ago.

Faux, and not even a good one.

Haha how pathetic do you have to be to keep trying to pass this off as real. I really hope you don't have children...you don't seem well mentally

Let's explore this. You date this guy. And within weeks, he is basically living with you, borrowing your car, probably accepting money from you, and probably using some of that money to buy weed. And he will probably continue to be jobless because of his record. He might get the son back... who would end up as your dependent also. Seriously... let this one go.

OP Here:

Excellent point in your first sentence. I think the fact that I have been single so long has been a huge factor in why I am even considering him. It feels so good having a guy tell me I look pretty and that he is attracted to me....Just being in his presence is a huge turn-on. It's been a long long time since I experienced any of this and I never realized just how lonely I really was. I kept checking my cell phone to see if he called me even though I knew this guy had zero potential.

Like I initially stated, he really is a nice guy. He is a perfect gentleman and hasn't tried to take advantage of me even though he could have by now.
But we were in the beginning, that perfect "Honeymoon Period" for God's sake. LOL.

I'd run. Nothing good can come from this. In the words of Olivia Pope, what is your end game?

For fucks sake people jeff already said she's a troll. And she seems psychotic that she keeps posting acting like this is real. She's a nanny according to jeff. Terrifying that someone so mentally unhealthy is watching children.

And don't forget Politics & Prozac Lady (but she wasn't a troll, just crazy)

I did like Trollina. Trolly Polly is also good.

Wow - she is a nanny? That is really scary. I feel like we are going to be reading about her at some point -- going off the deep end. She does seem mentally imbalanced with her repeated postings and pretending (even after being called out) that this is all real.

Seriously though, what you are feeling isn't unique to this guy. You last kid is moving out this summer, now you want to adopt a new one. Sounds like you want a man who is a project. That will not bring you happiness. You will have a lot in common with many more people. Move on.

This.

I am starting to think people are not this dumb. PERHAPS the troll is responding to her own post with comments and solutions. That seems MUCH more likely.
