what to u is someone's tell-tale for revealing their "character"

So you know how it goes. A few months back, I had to turn down this girl who I had met at a networking event. She had asked me out to coffee to discuss her “career.” She works in PR, I am in Banking, so I figured that this was more about a career change, but it turned out to be much more than that.

Usually I keep a friendly but distant vibe when I am rolling out at the clubs, but I had guard down because this was supposed to be a professional event. So anyways we met up at a cafe on a Saturday afternoon, I got my non fat double shot latte no sugar and was reading the Wall Street Journal, when she arrives 5 minutes late and with no resume, or portfolio dressed in jeans and casual top, while I was returning from a 3 city trip so I was wearing the 2 button navy Brioni (no tie) and my mezlan hiltons. Anyways she sits down (*more like plops down) and starts talking about her week. I let the monologue continue for 5 minutes until I ask her about what this meeting was about? At that point she must’ve realized that I was all business so she came up with some weak excuse about PR in I-Banking, which made no sense because everything is done in house. In any case, I had realized that this was not meeting to discuss her career but rather some type of a twisted date.

The sad part is that she is an attractive girl and I am sure gets asked out a lot. But I told her that I don’t date and wouldn’t be interested in her in that way. I was tired so I headed home. I figured it was all done..

Fast forward 2 months later, I get an email from her asking for “help” contacting another coleague of mine. Mind you, she knows this dude more than I do, yet she somehow wanted me to get in touch with him and get his contact info (she has his email). So I am get her game (its pretty weak), either she is trying to start something with an excuse to contact me or soemhow trying make me jeolous. Either way, I am not into any of her freakish games, I woudl rather tell her that I don’t know this guy well enough. Any advice? I mean I don’t want to be mean, after all its not the girls fault for digging pK-one

Stay Away from Women , they are TROUBLE !
