Holy guacamole batman, so what you're saying is that Te amo doesnt really mean "i love but" but rather translates into "i love your money"
All kidding aside, I really appreciate everyones input. Stuff I already knew, but somehow she caught me off guard. And yup, I kept asking myself the same question...what the F does a 20 something yr old want with a 40 something yo (soon to be 50 later this month). I'll just chalk this up as another learning experience in the gulch. Live, learn, and liberate!
Don't beat yourself up papi k. You are not the first or the last. Most just run and hide after it happens to them. The age thing is only relevent to the situation. I look at it, from my experience, that I would have had better success dealing with the BS if I WAS 20-30 yrs older than the chica. I dated a HDR bartender for about 6 months. We are the "same age" her -3yrs. I really thought that this "may" be different because of our age being so close. Never lost/spent $ (other than the normal wine y dine) but she got to me. Bottom line, if I was 25 yrs older than her, I think I would have known the deal. I think I would have been better off. End of the day, I found out she was fking a 60 yr old for $. Shocked, no. Pissed off for the time/heartache? Yep. End of the day, if they work in the whorehouse......
As has been said many times on this board, CR is a FANTASY playground. The quicker we know/understand this, be better trips we have in the future.
Don't be too hard on yourself, you lost nothing from the deal, and learned quite a bit.
