Take it from someone who has done all those things and faked them all to convince people he was doing something productive -- its highly likely that hes mooching. When I said 'I don't mean any disrespect' it was directed at you, not your friend. When I got involved in riskier things I got into the habit of telling my mom I was goin out looking for a job as an excuse to get away from my mom in order to go out and do things she wouldnt otherwise let me do. It started off I actually was looking for a job and doing maybe a pickup of some herb between 2 places and things like that but then I wanted to do more fun shit with my time so I used more of my 'job huntin time' to go party it up. Finally I would just say "job huntin see you at blah o' clock." and go straight to my dealers and not leave til i had to be home.

Not only have I done it; I've seen lots of friends and aquaintences do it too. As long as you keep the people who make decisions happy there will be no reason to not trust you ~ Its quite a basic tactic to use when dealing with someone or thing you have to overcome.

Learn to take opinions less seriously. It was an opinion shared for your benefit, I never claimed to know anything about the situation other than what you told everyone, I never claimed to know he was lying or deceiving you, I shared an outside opinion formed through experience. Sometimes that helps people like me see things more objectivly, and I think its safe to say you like this guy, therefore you would likely want to see him as a great guy and get very upset at the very thought that he might just be using you and your family.

If you dont want my opinion thats ok
If your gonna get all bitchy and try to rationalize things with your own childish oulook then thats ok



I just hope he takes you big time and gets away with it
