My niece got involved with an advanced hobosexual. She met him at an out of town wedding. He was a wilderness guide (truly was), handsome, athletic, college educated. She was working her first job after college across the country from family. After the wedding weekend they kept in touch. He invited himself to visit her .....and never left. Never got a job. After 8 months, her lease was going to expire, they made plans to move to the other coast, near his family, partly so he could get a job, with a two week stop in the Midwest at her family's house for Xmas. She finally told her parents the whole story and dad (former state bench press champion and still scary guy) put him on a plane "to get out East a bit early to see his folks." My niece did not follow him. I never respected my BIL more.
