I really am posting for a friend. She has met a guy on a well known online dating app. A real hunk, almost too good to be true. He lives in another country. I'm going to copy some of his first email as she is at a loss as to what to say in response. I thought if any Mumsnetter's were around this morning you might want to help. Here goes, it sounds like a CV.....
When i am in a Relationship, I do not go to sleep angry it doesn't matter who is right, all that matters is that we go to sleep with love in our hearts. I was taught to respect all young or old. I don't gossip about people it is not my place to judge them. I believe that what a person gives comes back tenfold to them. I am very confident at where I am in my life. I am open, kind, giving, responsible, happy, cheerful person. I don't like when someone plays head games and wastes my time. I do not have enough time left on this earth to waste on disrespectful people. I have been hurt too many times. I am looking for a serious relationship not,interested in a casual one. I want to find that special woman and be her husband and focus on giving her all my love and focus on giving her the love she deserves. I hope, someday we'll meet and fall in love. I just want to meet that special someone that I can be happy and in love with unconditionally, someone that will app and can't wait to come home to me.
Someone that I can love to the fullest for the rest of our lifes together. someone that is my Best Friend and my Lover. True love is finding your missing half. to find true love is worth the wait. I was taught the best things in life are worth waiting for, I don't seek outside comfort. I believe if there is a problem then it is best to talk it thru. I also have certain ways to be intimate and once we learn what pleases one another I am content with that. I need no more than what pleases us both. When I am with someone I have eyes for no other. I like things to be decided ahead of time and I don't like when people cannot make up their mind. I am somewhat of a perfectionist. I was taught never accept something half done or done the fastest way. I was taught to do it right and to do my best the first time. ...
I am very sensitive, caring, sincere person. I believe you are also a very honest, caring, loving, giving person, someone that I have the privilege to meet someday. I know what I want from life and I am very confident with myself and where I am in life, I believe we have a lot in common. We both want a lot of the same things from life and love. I look forward to getting to know you better. i hope this tell you more about me and what i am looking for, i am looking forward to hear from you,
What would you say to this?

"OK pet how much do you need" ?

LaContessaDiPlump · 11/01/2018 11:18

Fucking hell. Does she like dramatic, self-absorbed types? Cos if so, she's hit the jackpot. If not, tell her to politely say no thank you and then block before the inevitable diatribe listing her faults Confused

Cath2907 · 11/01/2018 11:19

Pass me the sick bag

AnachronisticCorpse · 11/01/2018 11:19

Figrolls has it.

littlewoollypervert · 11/01/2018 11:19

Is he a Nigerian prince?

Linguini · 11/01/2018 11:19

What a load of bollocks. Sorry! I'd laugh at/ignore a load of drivel like that.

Pringlemunchers · 11/01/2018 11:20

Oh gawd. Intense ,much !!!

SillyLittleBiscuit · 11/01/2018 11:20

I wouldn't reply. Far to OTT for me. I'm not really sure what you're asking though. What does your friend want to do? Is she keen?

MavisPike · 11/01/2018 11:20

block him , don't reply

Justmuddlingalong · 11/01/2018 11:20

Sounds like a load of waffle to me. Surely the difference in countries is an issue, no?

Trinity66 · 11/01/2018 11:20

I mean he literally sounds too good to be true Grin Just tell her remember words are just words!

Re the question I have no idea what you would reply to all that........."Dito"? haha

Phosphorus · 11/01/2018 11:21

I wouldn't reply at all, they sound ridiculous.

Advicewouldbelovelyta · 11/01/2018 11:21

I'd literally just say "Hi :)" lol but I'm a bit of a tit and would be finding the urge to say "thanks for the essay" as he hasn't really told her anything about himself lol

mummmy2017 · 11/01/2018 11:21

SCAM
I am the same, can I borrow £10,000

SandAndSea · 11/01/2018 11:22

"OK pet how much do you need" ?

Hahahaa!!! EXACTLY!! GrinGrinGrin

MsHomeSlice · 11/01/2018 11:22

I think your friend might need some lessons on how to use the WWW if she thinks anyone spouting shite like that is a real person.

and i bet it's not him in the profile pic either.

MadMags · 11/01/2018 11:22

He will 100% ask her to send money! She’s being catfished too, I would imagine!

SandAndSea · 11/01/2018 11:23

Tell her to block him.

wendywoopywoo222 · 11/01/2018 11:23

Your freind should just ignore or block. He's not real and will of sent this same message to every woman on his list. You get used to spotting the scammers but sadly some still fall for all that stupid guff.

toriatoriatoria · 11/01/2018 11:24

I think he'll be asking for money shortly!

nornironlady · 11/01/2018 11:25

She has been thinking the same as most of your responses in all honesty but feels she should reply with something after he has shared so generously..........
We've spent a few days discussing it and coming to no conclusion so I turned to you guys.

I feel really awkwardly like this is one of my best friends.

He writes stuff like this to girls, despite us begging him not to. He's not an arse, but he starts writing something like "hey, how was your day" it ends with six paragraphs about how he's emotional and how he sometimes does the wrong thing but it comes from the right place.

It's terrible, and hilarious. But he's not a random from another country. These things don't end well... delete

MyBrilliantDisguise · 11/01/2018 11:26

Is she really going to fall for that? He's just a scammer.

CrazyExIngenue · 11/01/2018 11:27

Hi dreamboat, so is it cold hard cash or a British passport you want?

GlitterUnicornsAndAllThatJazz · 11/01/2018 11:27

"I also have certain ways to be intimate..." which involve dressing up like a puppy and begging you to be my master?
