Laura,

A lot of what you say about your man has been said before...how he thinks older women are better because younger ones are not mature, how he would never use for a green card.

I want to really ask yourself---from what you have seen on here, do you really think that any man discussed on here openly said that he just wants a visa??

Relationships pretty always start off good, Laura. If they did not, they would not even reach romantic status.

I'm not saying that he does not treat you well, but it's a little too well for my tastes and you have to remember that you do not see him very often.

That brings me to my next concern: I do not think what you are feeling for this man is real matrimonal love. I don't think you can because you do not trust him completely. If you did, I see no need to ask for advice on this site.

What bothers me is

1) That he is insisting that your bring other people along, like he has something to prove. But, it's also a sales trick used on single women because they think they are going to get beat up to buy into something. Clearly, he's on his game.

2) He's comfortable telling you about scamming. Now, I've talked to women scammers on-line before and they are not afraid to tell you how bad scamming is--or how they are different.

So, if this man loves you, why is he using sales tricks to win you over?
