Would you meet this stranger?

[Beautifulstrangers]

I'm 18 months out of a very long marriage and probably naive. I married as a young teen and have never known anything else.
So I'm trying to pick myself up and joined a couple of dating sites.

About a week ago as I'm perusing said dating site my breathe is
literally taken away by the most beautiful man I've ever seen.
This beautiful man is 20 yearsyounger than me - obviously I move on and think no more about it.

Later that day said beautiful stranger messages me on the dating site, tells me I'm beautiful I'm not but I'm ok for my age.
I try to convince this lovely man to find himself a gorgeous younger woman.
He tells me he prefers older women and wants a serious relationship.

Later on we move on to telephone calls and it's apparent this man is not only beautiful but educated,respectfulandgentlemany -he tells me about his job in finance.

Now for my what would you do. He wants to take me to the theatre in London [where he lives]
he will meet me off the train take me to the theatre and then back to my hotel - alone. Then pick me up in the morning and take me to the station
for the train home.
He tells me he wants me in his life.
What would you do?

It's just too easy to get hurt when you are the older woman. Happened to me and it was horrible. They just want the experience of having sex with a milf. It starts off all fun but before you know it he is discarding you for a younger model. Be very careful or you will get hurt.

To be fair him he's known from early on that there are no financial assets - I brought the topic up when we were chatting about something else.
His last relationship was with a lady a similar age to me and it was long term thing.

I have no qualms about the age gap tbh, I look a good 10 years younger and if he thinks I'm beautiful I'm not going to condemn him for it.

I admit I could be naive but I don't want to be too jaded about old and suspicious without cause.
I've had the silver tongued, widowed, orphaned, oil rig worker experience.

I've met a couple of men from old, both younger than me and they've been lovely and perfect gents.

I wouldn't deceive this beautiful man, he has done nothing wrong. I enjoy our conversations and he knows how I feel.

It was just this scenario is outside my experience so I wanted others thoughts - thankyou.
And I've taken them onboard and will proceed with caution.
In time I think it will could progress, we'll see how it develops.

If he wanted to see you he would come your way.

Wtf? How weird. The theatre with someone you've just met? Sitting in the dark, not speaking, as her off Gavin and Stacy pretends to have an affair with him off that foreign beach police thingy.

Do people do this?

Watch Luther. That'll put you off stranger

I have no doubt that you are very beautiful and look 10 years younger than your age. The whole thing sounds very dubious indeed, im afraid, and while i wouldnt automatically say write it off, i would suggest that you be very very careful. He may just be very hammy and over-dramatic, or he may genuinely be a con man. Just dont get drawn in to paying for things you didnt intend to pay for, and make sure someone in real life knows where you're going.

It doesn't ring true to me, tbh, but i have been wrong before...!

No, or at least, not like that. Its too good to be true and smacks of fake profile. At best i'd meet for a coffee somewhere public initially and bet my life he wouldnt show/be a beautiful young richguy

Serial killer or rapist sprang to my mind. I am a suspicious person at the best of times however. 😬

He sounds too full on for a stranger. Wants you in his life? He doesn't know you!

Sorry op but if things appear to be too good to be true they usually are.

You told him no assets but apparently you can afford London hotel rates on a whim... so clearly you do have assets and money.
If you want to pursue then meet him in real life. For a coffee. Check him out.
Unless you really know who he is you can have no idea about him and his past...nor he you.

Have you booked the theatre and hotel? Who paid?

Oh for God’s sake!

It's so obviously a scam, you have asked MN and everyone has told you the same, yet you are going to ignore it. Why ask in the first place?!

And I've taken them onboard and will proceed with caution.
In time I think it will could progress, we'll see how it develops

Oh dear op. 😔

OP's under no obligation to follow anyone's advice.

Seems like on MN, half the time people say "omg how can you say that, what if the OP follows your advice and ruins their relationship?!", and the rest of the time it's frustration that OP isn't doing exactly what people say right this minute. OPs just have to take what they want out of it, and generally do.

"In time I think it could progress..."

Yes, we all think it will progress too, though not to the fairytale ending you are anticipating!

His last relationship was with a lady a similar age to me and it was long term thing.

Do you have any evidence of anything he's told you? It's very easy to say what someone wants to hear, be careful OP.

oP you don't seem to want to heed the advice given on the thread so I'm wondering why you posted?

Surely the next step would be a video call. Not going to a London theatre.

Well aren’t we a cynical bunch? It might be a really good show on at the London Theatre. Les Mis is always a favourite of mine. Quite liked Blood Brothers too.

Ego boost not who boost

People take out loans and all sorts for these scammers, so he probably isn’t thinking that no assets=no money.

We’ve all come across these ‘too good to be true’ profiles where for a moment your heart skips a beat, but then we move on as we reLise they are scammers. Not everyone does though, they clearly get takers.

Please cut contact with this guy OP.

Why did you bother asking for advice ?

You are going to meet this fraudster, that is clear

How old are you ? In your 60's ? How is your health and exercise tolerance ?
