So, I've been friends with a particular dancer a long time. She doesn't dance anymore, of course. She lives with her dad who's elderly and he's retired.

Her dad's not especially mobile, he's in his 80s. She just turned 50. We've been friends since the early 90s when we were in our 20s.

They got hit with a $10,000 bill for housing. If it wasn't paid, her and her dad would be kicked out of their apartment. I've been to that apartment once or twice. And I've met her dad several times and been around him. Their apartment is filled with stuff. And they live on the top floor. I can't imagine all their stuff getting kicked out.

I have good credit. I thought about it, and their bill was due suddenly. I was able to get a personal loan. I personally paid the $10k. Meaning I went straight to the place and paid them directly, I did not give any money to her or her dad. They were able to stay. I did this with her dad in mind, not her. Elderly dude like that, I want him to be comfortable. He's retired. He can't do much.

Thing is: so far, I never told her I took out a personal loan. And believe it or not, I was able to quickly pay off that loan. I can't believe it either.

So she thinks I just had the money lying around and just paid it. I never told her I took out a loan. I mean the money was due, nobody else could help, something had to be done quickly. She hasn't given me a dime, so far, it's been two years.

I'm wondering should I tell her and show proof that I took out a 10k loan so she and her dad could stay in their apartment? But it's been 2 years, I never said anything before?

I don't want sexual favors from her. She doesn't have to repay the 10k, I did this for her dad (who didn't ask) but it'd be nice if she repaid me at least $2-$3,000 for doing that outta nowhere and beat the deadline. Again, all this time she didn't know I took out a loan. And paid it off myself.

When I paid the $10k, with the instant loan check, there wasn't any contract written up or any discussion of her paying me back. I didn't want a full payback, but I assumed whenever we hung out, maybe she'd pay the IHop bill, pay the McDonald's bill, get me a Christmas gift, at least. It's been 2 years, nothing.

I want absolutely no sexual favors. I'd love some free McDonald's, free Qdoba, free Subway, I don't care, time-to-time. I've never mentioned this. I just ASSUMED a person would be grateful and do this--we've known each other since the early 90s.

I'm wondering if I show her and tell her by the way, 2 years ago, I paid that emergency with a loan that I paid off. Would she then time-to-time show appreciation?

I can just let the whole thing go. I was the one who did this, this way. I chose this, I need to accept the aftermath.

Or is two years later to late to bring this up? Just wondering...

I think the old guy owes you a . . .

Nah, can't say it; bad joke

Me thinks, somehow, you should drop this. Resolve to get expectations clarified in any future dealings.
