Definitely trust your instincts. Africans are people just like us Westerners, so try not to base your decisions on stereotypes and misinformation. At the same time, listen to your gut. Best of luck!

I think everyone is entitled to a chance. I have many friends from South Africa and they are all kindhearted and honest people.


I will assume that the people you speak of are still in SA and are showing interest in you online... as with all online situations... we need to exercise healthy caution, since there is really no way of knowing what they are truly about until you get to meet them in their home element.

Can't you find someone from the US?





There are so many scams and men preying on western women, why risk it? It's like "can I pet a shark?". Sure, maybe, but why try?

It's not just South Africa. Check the message box on my profile page. eH took her profile down but you'll get the idea.

I like just about all the South Africans I have met. Only one I didn't like. None of them wrote me messages like the one you received however.
