This guy is living in a fantasy land. Whether it's driven by lackanookie, being in love with love, or infatuation he is not smart enough to recognize as such, something is emotionally off.

Honestly? That would creep me out.

Wealthy men may have an easier time attracting mates? Especially if they're smart and attractive too? Therefore less likely to try such low tactics?

Just because a guy has a lot of money doesnt mean he cant be a creep/weirdo.

I think there is a huge misconception with a lot of women that good looking/ successful = perfect, ugly or normal/poor= a creep.

I actually think him having money is part of what is making me more skeptical.

Good luck and bring some pepper spray. Or at the very least, make sure you're on birth control.

I agree with the other posters. Something's off. Take it slow.

How do you know that he is wealthy? there are many ways to fake it, and pathological liars and psychopaths often do. Lots of stories in the news about men like this, after they've done terrible things.

Personally, I like people that DON'T flash their wealth, because they're secure and confident, and they also don't want to attract the kind of mates/friends that are interested only in their money.

Of course, there is the possibility that your beauty and magnetic personality overwhelmed him, and over-rode all his sensors

Well, just be cautious. Maybe this guy IS totally smitten with you and expressing it. Be wary, but do give him few more dates and see what happens.

Your values are screwed up. You would be safer in the dating world if you understood the difference between trustworthy and rich. It's frightening to read your posts because you are a sitting duck for this or any guy who uses money as a lure. Money does not come with morality. It's like sunlight--it just is. It's neither good or evil.

As for his comments, he's in a fantasy world and will get quite dismissive or nasty when you dissapoint him by being human. Or he's playing you for one thing or another. He doesn't know you well enough to be in love.

I have to say, I feel like I am in the best place I have ever been in my life - great friends, great job, in great physical shape, own my own house, happy with myself etc..

So, I went on a first date last night with a very successful, cute, funny, and nice man. He was very complementary - "you're very attractive," "I can't believe how attracted I am to you," "I don't feel like I can look at you for very long - it's too intense." Again, I am highly educated, have dated a lot of people. He even said "I don't know what's wrong with me, I think I'm falling in love with you."

Have any of you had this experience and it led to a relationship that lasted? I want to believe it because he seeems like the perfect man!!!! Advice? Thanks!
He's bullsh-itting you. Don't open your legs or your heart for that one unless you want crash and burn.
