Please tell you parents right away.

For your own safety, do not pick him up at the airport unless you have at least one and preferably two strong adult males with you in the car. Do not go with him alone, anyplace . Those stories about girls being kidnapped and coerced into prostitution are real.

Some sites say 100,000 woman and children a year, in the US alone, are coerced into prostitution and other sites say as many as 500,000.

Don't be a fool and add one more to the statistics.

If he is such a great guy why is he 50 years old and has not yet meet the "right woman" or why can't he find someone in real life? Hmmm, I wonder.

Omg, the amount of red flags you keep throwing out is incredibly concerning. A random 50 yr old man found you on Facebook and now he's your boyfriend.

Please take others advice. I also wouldn't give him your address.

I really see this ending as an episode of Law & Order SVU or Criminal Minds.

Please be safe!

OP:

You have not actually met your so-called boyfriend in person yet, and you refer to him as your boyfriend?

And you want to visit your boyfriend, whom you have not met in person yet?

And he is decades older than you?

And you call this a relationship?



Why do young people act like this?

What is going through their heads?

All people cannot love.

And all people cannot "love" just anyone they want. If you believe otherwise, you're as clueless as the OP.

I am 19 and I think it gross
A former teacher of my high school got some girl run off with him. Her poor family and friends were worried sick. People were looking for her all around Illinois. The guy was married and had son.

The belief that they are unique and special "old souls," wise beyond their years. The reassurance and praise they receive from their groomers is gratifying.

Good, that's he's coming to you, vs you traveling to see him, OP.

I'm not going give you crap about the age thing because you're an adult, and anything I say will just go in one ear/out the other. Anyhow....you'll soon find out how real this love is

Mod cut: Quoted post deleted.

It shows that I (along with almost everyone here) have a real concern for the girl. If this was a family friend or a neighbor or something, it would be weird, but not crazy.

Facts:

  • 50 year old guy randomly facebook messaged her
  • Opening conversation he says she's "cute"
  • He's willing to pay to have her fly out there or fly there
  • Girl wants to keep him a secret from her family

Reality:

  • We have no idea who the guy is. He could be an ex-con, murder, rapist, or sell her into prostitution
  • It's easy to set up an online ID and create a world around it
  • It's not normal for a 50 year old to have interest in a teenager. I'm 25 and can't stand most teenage girls.
  • It is not normal for a 19 year old girl to have an interest in a 50 year old. Why bang a guy 2 and a half times her age when she could have any guy she wanted under 25. If she's going for sugar-daddy types, there's plenty of 35 year olds.
  • A 19 year old guy may have an interest in a fit 50 year old women if it's easy sex for him. Women hold the power in sexuality. A 19 year old girl is entering her prime and has a lot of power.
  • They have no actual relationship. You can't be in a relationship with someone who you've never met. Can you become friendly and pen-pals? Sure. But relationships consist much, much more than phone calls and video chat dates.

This thread has been cleaned up of inappropriate and off-topic posts. I think the OP has received plenty of good advice here. The thread will remain closed.

OP, good luck to you.
