My online date just wanted to borrow money from me and I’m so disappointed
DEAR DEIDRE: WHEN I filed for divorce six years ago, I’d hoped it wouldn’t be long before I met my next big love.
So when I hit it off with Dave, I was thrilled.
I’m 56, and his online profile said he was a business owner, aged 59.
We messaged back and forth for a month before he finally asked me on a date.
But the night before, he texted me in a panic.
He had punctured a tyre on his car and asked to borrow £200 for the repair.

I didn’t like the idea of giving money to someone I hadn’t met in person, so I said no. Then he just blocked me.
I’m devastated. I thought I’d finally met a nice guy.
