My cousin had a friend over. They asked if I wanted to see a movie with them at home. I said okay. I went. My cousin's mom told me that I couldn't go because my cousin never asked her. So I had to go home. My cousin never apologized. I got a phonecall. It was my cousin's friend, who asked, "Hey, do you have any money?" I said no. My cousin's friend asked, "Well, I have a proposition for you. I heard that you like me, so if you go to the movies with us and pay for me to go, then I'll call it a date." I said that I don't even know my cousin's friend and won't be used like that.
Should I be offended? My cousin is one of my best friends.

Firstly your cousin invites you over and doesn't even bother to ask so you get kicked out before you make it past the front door. Then your cousin actually appears to have given your number to his friend, who not only tries to scrounge money off you (a complete stranger to him) but also has the audasity to say if you pay, he'll call it a date!!!!!!
Frankly, I think you need to talk to your cousin about this and find out if he knew he was calling you up to ask for money. If he did know or, worse, agreed to him making the call on these grounds, you need to seriously reconsider your friendship with your cousin. [ Vikki27's advice column | Ask Vikki27 A Question ]
caramella answered Tuesday July 11 2006, 3:56 am: well that is offensive but its not something HUGE so i think you should drop it and let it go and dont let it bother you youre gonna meet a lot of things in your future that are gonna bother you and if you stop infront of each one of them youll never move on to the next stage.i think your cousin mighta told his friend that you liked him so just dont be scared and tell him that you never did (if you dont) and that your cuzins only trying to make his freind feel like someone actually cares about him and that your not paying him or buying him any movie tickers or nothing and tell him if he bothers you more that you dont care and wouldnt buy him a life if he asked(his freind) [ caramella's advice column | Ask caramella A Question ]
icey0990 answered Tuesday July 11 2006, 12:43 am: Definately! How dare they call up and try and use you for money? I would be extremely mad. Its only natural to feel angered when people try and use you. If your cousin is one of your best friends definately have a talk. Express your feelings to your cousin and tell him/her that you feel used and hurt. Hopefully your cousin will see and understand how you feel.
i hope it works out [ icey0990's advice column | Ask icey0990 A Question ]
missmissgurl answered Monday July 10 2006, 10:33 pm: I would be. That boy sounds like a using asshole. I don't get whats up w/ your cousin though? Did she not want you to go to the movies with them? If she didn't I think that's really rude too. I understand she might want her time w/ her friends, but if your at her house and their going to see a movie it's wrong to want to leave you out. Talk to her about it, ask her whats up with that. Sorry [ missmissgurl's advice column | Ask missmissgurl A Question ]
naturally_sadie answered Monday July 10 2006, 10:28 pm: Personally, I'd be VERY offended. I'd tell your cousins friend to back off & get a life. And tell your cousin about it so he/she can do something about it. Maybe you're cousin can talk to his/her friend. [ naturally_sadie's advice column | Ask naturally_sadie A Question ]
