OP described every girl entering a relationship
Not with those terms.

This is quite upsetting :s-smilie: It's sad to know that some people would be so desperate to resort to this. If I were a girl, I'd be your friend for free. I don't think I could ever take money off a person in exchange for friendship - Love is free.
No. This is silly and it's ruined my day.

Money can never buy happiness.


It can provide a reasonable simulation! :P

I could be their friend but they wouldn't be mine :smile:

I'd be anyone's friend for a bottle of wine and a bar of chocolate!

Bit of a weird request though....they should try the friends section in a lonely heart column.

No, I would be friends for free.
Apart from the no boyfriend part which I would say no to, and the seeing each other everyday, I don't even see my best friends everyday... Unless we clicked and we wanted to..
*if this is something your thinking of doing OP, feel free to message for a chat and a new friend....for free :wink:*
ITT: most of the girls on tsr wouldnt mind being non-sexual escorts

No.


1) There's a reason why the word "free" means both without restriction/autonomous, and without a price. If you attach a price to something, you no longer have full ownership over it - I am not prepared to not have full ownership over the feelings, intimacy and company I have to offer to others.

2) I have other means of earning the money I need

3) You haven't given real specifics about what is done during this time spent together every day and it sure sounds like there's room for a lot of creepy, awkward awfulness

4) The person attempting to buy friendship sounds simultaneously tragic and sordid/creepy (we're talking about someone who wants to pay for a "friendship" they completely control). In case of the former, it seems wrong to use their desperation. In case of the latter, it only makes the notion of selling my "friendship" more unpalatable.

5) Incidentally I do have a boyfriend, but the above reasons count on principle even were I single.

6) Slightly less sensible reason, but I can't help having a higher "might be a killer psycho" index for someone who wants to by young female single "friends" and control them with money :s-smilie:

Erm hellll no.

Far too much commitment for too little money.

Also, it's just f*cking weird.

And spending time with the person everyday and having no boyfriend? That's isn't worth the money at all. Good god I'd be out of there.

That isn't friendship, it's dictatorship.

The person proposing this has deep seated psychological issues that need addressing, not pandering to for money.

£3150? Interesting way to spend your maintenance loan.

very funny op and some good responses too :biggrin:
Has to be the stupidest thread on TSR yet.

It could turn out great, and you may well end up liking them. Or you may start to really hate them, then this would be the worst thing. I would get to know them a little better before I made any legally binding contract.

I have thought it through hence why I have posted this thread and it's to be taken seriously as I've given it 6 months of thought.

I understand that my OP is quite demanding for what would essentially be a friendship, that's why I have revised it and come to the conclusion that more lenient terms of the friendship should be set out.

I've decided that I will pay the person £2,380 for the year (the length of the agreement) which works out to just around £200 a month which is how it will be paid. And the terms will be:

- Doing things together (cinema, dining out, long drives, weekends away) as friends do
- being able to tell you secrets and you being able to keep secrets
- you being able to share your secrets within reason
- willing to add on facebook as friend
- you should be able to balance university term time with spare time well so that we can spend atleast 4 hours a week in meeting up and doing things together.
- distance won't pose a problem as willing to travel for meet up

Terms would be outlined in a legally binding agreement made by a solicitor to outline how the person will be paid for maintaining said friendship only if the person is comfortable and needs the assurance that they will be paid.

The source of money is not a maintenance loan as that would imply I'm a uni student which I am not. The advantage is, money isn't the problem here, trust might be.

If you express your interest here henceforth I will get back to you by PM.

I can't help but think of Sheldon's Room Mate Agreement from The Big Bang Theory :rolleyes:
