Hi, I've already done a background check on him, and everything he's told me, checks out. But how have people been conned? I might be too trusting, but I just can't imagine him doing that to me. We are all also friends on instagram, facebook & linkedin. He is in his twenties, so he's a bit younger. I do trust him. Am I being stupid?
MTV Catfish.
Just be cautious. Think how you would want your daughter to behave in this situation. Protect yourself and your family first. Don't invite him to your home.
I was friends with my partner before we got together and i remembered the moment i realized he developed feelings for me, I was discussing a date and he suddenly turned frosty. Its working out well for us, but we didn't have a big distance issue like you do.
As for the topic has anyone ever been in this situation? Is it even possible that I could be in love with him, when we've never met? Am I setting myself up for disappointment?
I told him he could stay with me while he was in town, that is why it was brought up. Can we please not focus on that detail. I will ask him to stay in a hotel.
Everyone, why is it not a good idea to let him stay at my house? If I did not trust him, I would not let him stay at my house, but I trust him.
Why do you trust him so much when you've never met in person? Has he proven his trust? You should be going to his town first with a friend and you and friend stay in a hotel. And find out everything about him. Do you have a friend that knows you've been talking to this guy?

Here's how it works. You "fall in love with him" and gain his trust. At some point some kind of emergency comes up and they need money for something. It could be anything, like they need to travel somewhere to visit a sick relative. They make up an excuse for not having their own money to pay for it and ask you to lend them the money. Once they get the money, you don't hear from them again. I hear so many of these kinds of stories. Just be very careful and keep that in mind. You have no idea if he is talking to other women just like you. If he makes excuses for not wanting you to meet his family, or your family, be cautious.
He may be who he says he is, but you should be careful. Remember, if things get serious, it's not just you that will be effected. Your young daughter will be in the middle of it too.

Yes I do have friends that know about him. Why does it matter if he comes to my town, or if I go to his town first?

Thank you. I will keep this in mind. That sounds horrible.
