Drinks are different then actual cash. I would not accept cash knowing they were interested and I'm not.

My employer who I have no interest in,gives me money on pay day.

Once got a mystery gift card in the mail after I lost my job. Never did find out who sent it,but I did buy groceries.

So you betcha I am grateful for the kindness of strangers.

I've also left donations to folks in need. Never met them but their family names were on the list to help. So I did.

Money doesn't buy love,but it does get ya a good lawyer in some cases

That would depend on what they wanted in return.

I've known several girls accept these gifts in a "naive" way. The guys usually move on once one of them ends up in a relationship. It might send the wrong signal, but if you're naive, you won't even know.

I am not sure of any situation where I'd take money from anyone.

I'm trying to imagine a situation in which accepting money from someone I'm not close to without a clear plan of repayment would not feel weird, misleading, and/or manipulative.
