This guy contacted me out of the blue from OkCupid.

Oh you've GOT to be kidding!!

I'm tired just from reading/scanning that- because there was NO sentence break! I felt like I had to hold my breath all the way through!

I think he is just plain desperate... for a period. Sheesh!

Uh... anyone see any red flags?!??

Too much bad luck follows this guy,, watch out..He says he has a son and daughter, but then goes on to refer only to his son,his joy and pride??hmmm,,and the time line of these tragities doesnt add up. Did the wife die before his family?? I dont know talking to him cant hurt, but I'd be pressing "NEXT"

It sound to me like English is not his first language. I'd very VERY VERY surprised to find out he actually did live in the states.

I have gotten contacts in the past from men who don't fill out a true profile, and seem to be giving you their entire life stories the very first time you hear from them.

I think they're real people, looking either for entry to the States, instant marriage, or something else.

I would say Delete, definitely.

Moody, not into helping someone get a green card

See why I love this board.. I never would have thought of a green card issue, and it makes so much sense really... God I'm naive...

Wow...that is impressive. The first think I think is..."Is this a form letter" Not that any editing was ever done to it but is this one of those things where people mass email waiting for the weak 2% to respond back?? Maybe he is looking for sympathy sex?? lol WOW, I'd keep that email just for reference back to what NOT to do.

It never in a million years occurred to me that it might be a bid for a Green Card, but that makes perfect sense.
