Long story short, I had an old best friend back in High School. Him and I were friends for 4 1/2 years. Then we drifted apart and went our separate ways which I absolutely understand. A few years later, It was brought to my attention that he was at Mayo Clinic getting treatment for cancer.

A month and a half ago, I go to Mayo and I ask the front desk if he’s there and they confirmed he was. So I wrote him a nice get well card and brought it to his room. The front desk clerk wrote his room number on a small card. I went there, dropped it off and then respectfully left.

A month and a half had passed and there was no update on his condition. I was kinda worried about him. I asked friends around me and coworkers too. They all said that it doesn’t hurt to go back one more time and ask if he’s at least okay since they noticed I was getting a little worried about it.

So I showed up back at Mayo and went to the front desk. I respectfully asked if my old best friend was still there or if maybe he was discharged or if he is still doing okay. The front desk clerk looked up his info, then said “please wait” and 2 minutes later 4 security guards showed up asked why I was there. I told them the situation and they told me “He is not here. Please leave through these doors here.” And security walked me out and said “Have a good day.”

The last time I visited, It was a smooth experience. Nothing at all went wrong. The nurse even told me that it was very sweet that I was thinking of him even though it had been so long. I wasn’t told at Mayo or later on that he didn’t want to see me. It just seemed pretty casual. But showing up the next time seemed like I committed a crime? Security didn’t say don’t come back or anything. They just escorted me out.

I PROMISE I was not at all being rude or anything like that nor was I demanding any sort of answer or explanation. I just wanted to know if there was a status they could give me or if he was okay. That is all. And yes, I do understand HIPPA and was very respectful.

I just need an opinion. Did I do anything wrong? Or did I step a boundary? Will I get into legal trouble?

Hi there,

I’ve anonymously been looking through here and potentially seeing if this is worth a try. After about a few years of being single and trying all kinds of dating apps, singles events etc. and seemingly nothing sticking… I thought to myself “You know what… f**k it. You only live once.”

I’m 25M and originally from the Pacific Northwest. I’m honestly probably someone you wouldn’t expect to meet. For example, my personality is mixed with mostly both Conan O’ Brien and Top Gear UK references. I love cars always have ever since I was a tater tot. I’m absolutely nostalgic about things. I for example traveled through different states to visit a Sears. I do like video games (Racing especially) and I actually dabble in some art design. Mainly car designs but it’s really just me trying to be creative. Oh and I also on the occasion like to take road trips in very nice/expensive cars. Like renting a Porsche and driving up towards the Grand Canyon. Sometimes I feel like I’m in the first Forza Horizon game doing that Haha!

Other than that, I’m 6ft 4in and about 260 LBS. I’m not the biggest person in the world. But I’m mainly just tall. And honestly… I’m looking for the type of woman that just loves all of the above about me. And I personally love anyone for who they are just as long as you don’t smoke, heavy drink, lie or cheat. That’s honestly all I ask for. I’d prefer someone I could carry around whether it be a piggy back ride or carry into bed. Or throw you around like a towel on the shoulder Haha!

I do have my flaws. And it’s probably why I’ve had such bad luck. Life is not easy especially when things happened for the worst in the past. But if you are interested to get to know me… don’t be afraid to send a PM! Send a picture of yourself too so I know who you are and maybe if things work out… I could take you on a nice cute date? :-)
