As I discovered, it was indeed the latter. Things are done a little differently in LA as I learned, everyone wants something in return. Out here if I offer to let someone stay with me and I tell them I will be their host so to speak, then that is precisely what I do, nothing more, nothing less. I have had many people stay with me and I have never asked for anything in return. How was I to know? I told him I had a boyfriend, I was out there to work. I thought he was being a friend to me. I was very naive.
