I feel so used after a sales rep led me on in order to secure a sale
DEAR DEIDRE: THE woman I started seeing is ghosting me now that she’s hit her sales targets.
I run a large pet shop and she’s a sales rep for a pet food chain.
I’m 51 and she’s 37.
She seemed nice enough and after she’d called in late one evening when I’d had an exceptionally busy day, she asked me whether I fancied a drink.
I needed one, so we went to a pub and had a great time. I asked her to meet me again and she did the next week.
She then started asking me if I needed more stock, saying there were special offers available and I bought a few more pallets of food from her.
She wouldn’t give me her address but I sent her a few gifts to her workplace. She never acknowledged them.

She’d ring me making out she wanted a date but if I didn’t put in an order, she’d tell me she was too busy.
Now she’s blocked me on everything. I’ve got a feeling I’ve been used to better her career.
DEIDRE SAYS: Yes, it seems that way.
Blocking you has shown her true intentions but it was a coward’s way of letting you down.
I’m sorry that she took advantage of you but you’ll know better for next time.
Perhaps in your case, mixing business and pleasure is less than ideal.
