This site is giving me a lot of insight...the man I've been talking to for around three months now says he loves me with all his heart and soul, he's with me, I have him, he'll love me forever, etc...you know the rest...lol

He wants to come over here and get married. I offered in the heat of the moment to "maybe" help him and he jumped on it and said it would be good if I could help him with $700 for some of the expenses. That's a lot of money. He never asked until I offered. But still........I want to think he's genuine but I don't know for sure. I offered to go over there and meet him and then come back and file for a fiance visa. I thought it would be cheaper and easier that way. He quickly declined, saying he already had to paperwork for a tourist visa, all he had to do is pay for it and have the interview. Then he said if that or a work visa doesn't work out, we can do that. I don't know what's in his heart, only he knows that.

When I told him I couldn't help him with that much money, he seemed upset on cam but then he said he understood, that he doesn't care about the money, only me. So maybe he is being genuine, or maybe he'll just be happy to get whatever he gets. I honestly don't know. Give me some advice....please...thank you.:)
