So I've been talking to this guy for a few weeks online.
He found me via social media, and now we email each other every single day.Red Flag
He uses social media in relation to advertising his business--he's not a totally active user.
The thing is, he's wealthy but I think he might be a little coo coo for cocoa puffs. I'm not being catfished, I've done my research. Has a very successful business.
He's much older than I am, old enough to be my father. Red Flag
He's been married before, but it only lasted 3 years. She apparently cheated on him, and would talk to other men on the internet. He didn't like this, so they split. He has no children, but wants some.
He lives out in Florida, and is actually making plans to buy a home in the state I live in (New England area)
and wants to marry me, he says. REd Flag
He keeps telling me how he's so in love with me. Red Flg
We learn more and more about each and every day, but I do not love him.
Should I ditch this guy, or should I just Anna Nicole Smith it, and go full throttle.
He says he's crazy about me, Red Flag
and loves everything about me. Red Flag
He says he likes me because I give him a lot of attention, and that I make him laugh.
I kind of just wanted to use him as a sugar daddy, but he seemed appalled when I jokingly asked he wanted to be my sugar daddy. RUN!
I disagree with this assessment. Some guys know they're sugar daddies, and are perfectly OK with it, and as a matter of fact, want things JUST.THAT.WAY.
It's an adult decision between 2 adults, and she was, apparently, upfront in approaching him about it.
I agree. Some people enjoy doing this. Even if he doesn’t want to be labeled a “sugar daddy,” he still wants to attempt to buy her affections with his money. If he’s decided that she’s what he wants and he’s willing to spend money to show her that, that’s his choice. There are websites set up where women are paid just to have online conversations/video chats with men (with no expectation of ever meeting in real life) and the men pay them just to have a pretty girl to talk to.

What do you fine folks think?
I think what he says is true to how he feels right now...that said, you really do not know one another.
Take the “love”comment as loving the attention you have given him, nothing more.
Yeahhhhh...no. You know what the answer is, OP. You seem to have a good sense about these things. But what bothers me is that it raises the "too much too soon" red flag. He hasn't even met you, but he's in love with you? And he's old enough to be your father? If that's true, he should know better than to "fall in love" with a stranger over the internet. He "loves" you, because you give him attention? Anyone could do that. Would he "fall in love" with anyone who gave him attention and made him laugh?
This guy is asking for trouble. (If, in fact, he's for real, as you say he is.) Very bad decision-making skills. Don't let his train wreck happen in your front yard. Send him on down the line. CHOO-CHOO!
Petticoat Junction!! (couldn't resist when you typed choo choo)
Anyways Queen, go ahead and Anna Nicole him but be prepared for some repercussions if he catches on to what you are doing. Remember he is coo coo and you might find your permenant home in his crawlspace.
He's probably some fat 40 year old in a holey tee shirt living in his mommy's basement with pizza boxes stacked around him.
No, he's legit. He post pics on social media, and he's not a catfish, because I've messaged some of his friends about him. He's a real person. If you watch The Office, he kind of looks like Andy Bernard. lol
Id be willing to bet a few days before the meeting, something will come up where he wont be able to meet you.
Probably on an emergency business trip to Egypt. I'm serious, that's my best bet. And he'll encounter a situation where he needs some money. He won't ask directly but he'll make every appearance of OP letting down a friend if she doesn't offer to send the money.
Why did you message his friends? They probably thought that was weird.
To make sure I wasn't getting catfished.
