Thanks for sharing that, Tarkan.

The thing is that whenever a guy tells you he loves you and he wants to be with you after just knowing your for a few weeks usually means he's up to something.

I think you need to ask yourself what you would do if an American man did the same thing. I would bet that it would turn you off and send you running for the hills.

Really, the sooner an "I love you" comes, the worse the deal is.

There is a chance that he is looking for a visa. He's no doubt here on a student visa, and that's not forever.

The fact that he has not asked you for money does not mean that he is not a scammer. In fact, they rarely will directly ask for money but will opt to make you feel obligated to give it.

If this man were sincere, he would be taking his time to get to know you more, not making delusional statements about being together forever.
