OK so since this thread doubled in size since I left I figured I'd catch back up now that I'm in LA and setteled in.
Things went fine. No problems along the way and I made it to LA just fine with enough time.
One thing that was not properly expressed I guess was the fact that sometimes just having a good friend come to hang out for a bit can mean a lot to people and can give them the strength they need for the tasks ahead of them. No physical violence developed. I'm not dumb enough to act physically in any way besides in total self deffense. I am smart enough however to get people to turn their aggression to me instead of a weaker person so that if need be I can then defend so the other person doesn't have to. Also in regards to it possibly affecting my ability to work in LA... I'm also a US citizen (as well as a Canadian) so any actions in Canada in this regard would not jeapordize a green card application.
The guy never knew I was moving to LA. As far as he knew and still knows I can drive up anytime. I have a reputation for not being concerned for driving the extra miles to see people so this is not that 'out there' for me to do. However this situation is not that sever anymore where this would ever come up anymore anyway.
The only 'feelings' I have for her are that of friendship and total respect, I have a girl friend and no I'm not looking for blow jobs at a later date.
She did not ask me to come. I volunteered to drive up since I knew it might help in one way or another.
She does not have any good female or male friends that were any closer. She works in Montreal and besides that all of her good friends left last year after they all finished university... her work is exhausting and doesn't leave much room outside of it to meet more people right now. That said, I was actually the closest friend to her that she felt she could turn to.
As for me growing some balls... Thanks. I feel like I want to help a friend out and all you can think of is how I need to grow the balls to say 'no'. I have said no before to requests I deemed to be rediculous and would again if I had to... If I am in a position to help then I like to think I'm not so jadded that I would turn it down.
I've handed the situation off to another friend who is now in the area. Everything looks like it will be fine. In the end it was more for comfort and support than it was for kicking any ass.
And yes, actually I am 'EFFing' superman. 
So if you agree with me great, if not thats fine too, I understand the negatives of what could have happened and also that it may not have been my place to step in and that's the only reason why I even bothered to post this question on TA in the first place was to see if there were aspects I had not concidered that may weight my descion. In the end it all came down to the fact that I could help, so why not. The pros outweighted the negatives for me.
