I don't know if my friend has lost her mind or she is seriously delusional. She met this guy who lives in another country and has no visa. She fell in love after not being in a relationship for many year. She is much older than he is, but she said that that doesn't matter, they love each other. I agree, if that is the true case.
I don't know how much he knows about her status, but I am guessing he know a lot about it.
I wouldn't worry so much about her, except that she is pretty well off financially. I don't know anything about the guy except these two things, he is younger than she and he can't come to the United States. Since those two things were keeping them about she choose to rent out her five bedroom home on the lake to some strangers, she says for two years, and she put her belongs in storage and left the country.
Should I be worried about her safety and the fact that I think she is being scammed? Could this be real love? I am sick that she make these quick decisions. I know that the were hers to make, but I am worried.

you are right :( your friend is really in love with him i see that. she left everything for him. but sure is dangerous bcs she never saw him in person right? also what about you? did she show you a pic of him before? please dont stop to contact her. call her to know how things are going. if she is with the guy already and how things are going. when we meet someone by net and in reality is different. so you are right in being worried. dont lose her out of view. talk with her everyday and ask how things are and how the guy is to her.

Hi sweetloverforeve,
Sorry, I did leave this out. She met him in person whils she was visiting where he lives. I will try to keep in touch with her as much as possible.

Hi bingskee,
Yes, I will continue to do my best to keep communicating with her to make sure she is doing well. I think if she has made a mistake that she will be able to come back to the United States where she will be safer.

Well Angelgirl16, that is your friend so of course you are going to be worried but yes, you do have cause for concern. There is a lot of that type of scamming going on where someone from another country marries someone from the states just so they can get here. I feel that is wrong but who am I?
The only thing I can say is that I truly wish your friend the best and hope that she isn't being scammed. It would be a wonderful thing if it is in fact true love. Take care Angelgirl16 and God bless!

Hi Linda,
I too, hope she has found a good relationship and that this guy, who is younger, has not ill intentions towards her. She is a wonderful spirit, but I am worried that she has gotten herself in a bit of a mess. Only time will tell.

I appreciate why you are concerned for your friend. I presume this as all happened quite quickly. Falling in love can be compared to losing your mind, I think! Do you have contact with her? If you do all can do is keep in touch to ensure she is okay. She is an adult who is entitled to make her own decisions and mistakes. The only thing is to let her know she has your support no matter what happened and if you are inclined to pray I would send a few prayers her way. I hope this guy is genuine and not out to rip her off or hurt her...

Hi paula,
Yes, this happened very quickly. That is why I am so worried about her. I am wondering if she was pressured into a quick marriage. She is older and had been alone for sometime. She is not the prettiest women, but has a heart bigger than the universe. She could very easily be persuaded to do something like this.
I will continue to try keeping in contact with her if at all possible, and I would appreciate your prayers as well.

If it was my friend i would also be worried.I think that there are alot of people out there that are convinced that another person loves them,when in the end it is money or a roof over their head they are more in love with.A friend of mine got married to a person who she thought was in love with her and she thought that she was in love with him,he has his visa now they are not getting along after only two years.

Hi jugsjugs,
I am really worried about her hasty decision to marry this guy and leave the country to be with him. Yes, i am afraid that this guy is looking out for himself. I think he is trying to get something from her and then it will be over.

Hi jazeera,
I have heard from her a few days after she left. I don't think I will hear from her very often. I will try to keep communications with her, but she was not happy that I disapproved of her decision.
