You are absolutely correct about that possibility and I like your use of the term yellow flag. I have not heard anyone refer to such but it is a better description. You may have invented a new term for everyone to better communicate.

The only interesting thing is that she has not written back for over ten days. When the money was an issue she wrote almost every day.

I am glad you have your ears up because she sounds very dangerous to me.  The more I have learned over the years is that good girls do not even bring up money.  However, when yo are there tastes will vary ie. some women like nicer things than others.  Never the less, they should never even hint for money in advance of the meeting.

This lady never ever hinted at money. She never mentioned Int. Wom. Day only her daughter's birthday. It was I that offered to send some money for a gift for her daughter. However, once I mentioned this she was on it like right now.

Another flag was when I ran into some difficulty getting to Western Union in the time frame that I had told her I would - she complained in so many words about the delay. It may have been about issues she has had about false promises of the past with men who knows but, it did not set well with me and I told her this. She reminded me that she had never asked for any money since knowing me. The fact that she has not written for ten days is another yellow flag for me. However, there may be a good reason. Time will reveal.

She actually reminded you that she had never asked for money?
oooohh!!! BIG FLAG.

She complained about your delay in getting to western union?
Even Worse.

What the FK! This lady must think that money grows on telex's.
your suspicions are right on target.
This isn't about money, it's about intentions.
What are her INTENTIONS, with her responses to you?
good luck.

Appreciate the post.  Sorry things are not going so well yet.  However, it sounds like you have a good attitude.  Things will pick up for you.  Good luck from here on in.
