Okay so, a few weeks ago I met someone on craigslist. He's nice, sweet, kind-hearted, committed to me, looking to settle down and wants to settle down with me. We met in person and though he's a very large man(weight wise) it didn't bother me. We've spoke with each other almost every night and have connected on a really deep level. We have a ton of things in common, including that were both the same sign(Aries). My question is was it always this easy? I mean he seems perfect. He loves me for me, and sees me as a beautiful bright person. Now I feel like were meant to be together, are we? Were an interracial couple and everything about myself I don't really like, he does.

Proceed with caution. Take time to get to know this guy. It could be that you had an amazing stroke of luck, or it could be that he's scamming you. Some people are really good con artists, just saying. Is he employed? Career? Take it slowly, don't let yourself get carried away by your hopes and fantasies. Do you know for a fact he's an Aries? Did you see his driver's license? Run an internet background check on him. You should be able to get a basic one for between $1-$6 that will show marital status and aliases, if any, and birthdate.

Only you know the answer to that question and only time will tell you how "not perfect" he really is and if you are meant to be together.

I would be a bit concerned over his seemingly immediate want/need to settle down with someone he has known for a few weeks but I don't trust anyone until I have known them for a very, very long time.

I second that Ruth...do take your time a few weeks is NOT a very long time...if hes' for real he won't mind that, he'll wait for you as long as it takes...if hes' not he will pressure you and try to get you to do things you aren't ready for...be careful.

Two weeks and he loves you????

To answer your question, no it's not usually that easy. Especially from CL. CL is for people who fail at normal online dating.

No, he said he doesn't want to introduce me yet because his family can be "weird" about new people.

This may mean they don't approve of interracial couples. Or it could mean he's not for real. Check him out online.

I ran an internet background check and nothing was there. So thanks for the tip!

I wouldn't feel comfortable with a guy who doesn't introduce me to friends and family. It's early still so just proceed with caution and give it time. If he doesn't go public with you soon he is obviously hiding something, it's just a matter of what.
