Nice Post
I am naive at times because I trust people not to lie because I don't lie to them. I get burned all the time and it sucks. But it makes you tougher and smarter for the next a**hole to pull one on you. Good for your daugther she has caught on quickly and can teach us a lesson.

I am afraid that is not me to be like that I am a very trusting, forgiving person and have been called too nice

I think a lot of it depends on the person.
If you want to believe someone is not shining you on, then you will believe it, up until that point when you can't anymore.

As a journalist, I like to think I have good BS detector, but I'm probably not any better than the next guy. The trick is to live on skepticism without becoming jaded. Or as they say, "Blessed are those who expect little for they shall receive even less..."

I guess I never thought about it....but yes I am a survivor and I think I know men or people in general enough to know when they are feeding me BS..
