I met a gentleman via one of the online meetups. First of all the picture was aged. I am still trying to figure out when it was taken. Anyway the gentleman lied about his age, and from our conversations I would guess that he is about 9-10 years older. When I first met him I was quite surprised. Larger frame and I would say questionable health. He did inform me of his various health issues. We met for a brief while and I thought we could continue as friends. He is retired but still serves as a consultant. He has, in a short period of time, confessed his love for me and even suggested that we move in together. Recently he even asked for marriage. Now I have heard of fast forward, but this is light speed. It is more like an obsession. I am not saying that this is a relationship gone bad but it sends up a red flag as to the potential. Now I am wondering how to share this news with him as I think closure is deserved.

He may be sending you out a red flag and maybe it's too soon after meeting or he's too lonely. If you like the gentleman tell him to give it some time..go out have fun, enjoy each other's company, get to know each other. Only time will tell, but then again lots of men don't show their colors until later.  If he gets too possesive then you know to run, lol, no really. Women do need to watch out for whom they meet online.  There are too many sweet talkers out there. Call it woman's intuition and we all have it...so take heed of what your mind says not your heart. God Bless and I hope the best for you.
