i met this algerian man on fb when he randomly sent me a message saying he quit playing poker and graduated from his university. He seems wonderful.......... i am a divorced christian woman 31 years old and he is 27 years old and muslim. i wont get into all things he says like i'm his soul mate, he feels like he knew me his whole life. he gives me advice about my son and says he feels like he needs to be here for him!!!!!!!then he says i need to quit smoking, exercise, drink water bla bla bla.

i told this man everything about my life and he was always so secretive about his. he also had to do two weeks in the army (that just popped up out of nowhere), he was refused a tourist visa to the us and to mexico. he wants me to meet him somewhere that is visa-free country but, i can not find my ex-husband to sign for our son to leave the country and i'm not going anywhere without him and i'm not going anywhere that will put him in harms way. he talks about getting married and having children. he says when we have kids they can pick their own religion (yeah right). he also tells me that his dad is a powerful man but, he is a poor man these days since he stopping playing poker. i am so confused.......i was believing all this bs up until a few days ago and then something inside of me just said this is all wrong. if it sounds too good to be true then it usually is. oh he changes his fb name a lot and does not show his friend list. he never asked me for money but, does that really even matter at this point? please help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! any advice would be greatly appreciated.

thank you and god bless
