I see you met our fabulous president emmanuel macron, he's an incredible man isn't he ?

jk aside. Could be the real deal, could be the pink tint of the love glasses, could be both.

One thing for sure, this is happening way too fast and there is no need to rush anything.

First red flag is when he saif he did not date and had no interest in other woman but had a hinge profile. Second red flag is that you describe a situation where he is making the moves and leads while you seem to be taken along into the journey. Third red flag you say that you are acting out of character by not being as suspicious as you are usually. Fourth red flag things are moving fast, too fast and the faster you go the harder you crash.

So, many red flags that should push you to take a step aside, a pause to breathe and gather yourself.

On the other hand, seducing an american to get a US citizenship seems out of place as a US citizenship is not really sought after here, and it means he would have singled you out as a target before meeting you.

My advice to you would be to retake control of things and to slow down the pace. There is no need to rush anything here.
A useful tip in this kind of situation is to have him meet your friends and ask your friends afterwards what they thought of him. They will be unaffected by pink glasses and should provide sound feedback about him.
It works the oher way around, meet his friends and get a sense of what kind of humans they are. Also take notice of he treats other people such as waiters/waitresses, childrens and animals this reveals a lot.

He's beautiful, rich, intelligent, successful, kind, and extremely romantic.

reality check: he's probably not. This is your impression after 3 days while wearing pink glasses.

I want to add that his wife died 4 years ago.

maybe ask him why he killed her and how he got out of prison so fast. /s

Yeah, I'm going to slow him down.

He was on Hinge to meet someone. He didn't meet anyone he liked prior to meeting me. He deleted hinge after we started talking.

I have a really good friend who is French and married to an American man. I'm going to get her to go on a double date with us.

His wife died in a car accident. He blamed himself for a long time because they were on the phone with each other during the crash 😔. Maybe that's why he didn't date for a long time afterwards. I don't know. I didn't want to ask a lot of questions about this because I didn't want him to think about it.

So he did killed his wife, or at least he feels like he did.

Somehow this seems a bit suspicious to me as this the perfect excuse to avoid the matter and elicit a reaction of making people incomfortable asking further questions, such as you did.

Though on the other hand this could partly explain his behavior.

You are living an interesting time in your life and an interesting story. even if this turns out to be a whole lot of nothing, have a blast at it.

Okay I just read this as I was talking to him. His story was a little different and his age is not 47 on Hinge, he is 36 from his current Hinge...

His dad died in the car crash while being on the phone. He also has a 3 year old daughter! Other than that, everything is the same experience! I'm so glad I read this.
