Well, I can certainly see why you would like this man. A lot of women that I know don't like it when guys try to kiss them all the time or find a way down her pants.

What I have heard of---and know about---is that you have be more cautious when dating when there is a twenty-year age difference or more It's certainly not impossible to find love like this, but it's a general guideline that most professional matchmakers tell you is a red flag and something to be aware of.

I do think there's a big difference if you are say, in your 50's and he's in his 30's than if he were 19 or 18 and you were in your 30's, simply because people in their thirties and fifties have lived significant portions of their lives as adults.

I feel a lot better about your situation because you actually do things in person, so that is a big, big difference. Yet you ask: Am I another sucker?

Here's is where people get into trouble: getting married to quickly without really knowing the person (many of the scams nowdays don't actually start until after marriage) giving out money when asked for it, and getting married based soley on attraction that you are from different cultures.
