I haven't been married for a long time but on Facebook, I met this charming Hispanic who lives in Nigeria. He is an single father with a daughter. He has been interested in taking her to a Disney park. I love all of them so I can decide which would be the best or give him a honest opinion? Some help from unbiased source?

I think by you just sharing your knowledge is what he is looking for. Any decision he makes is guarenteed to give his daughter a beautiful, memorable experience!
With that said, I feel like I also need to add & I deeply apologize if this is upsetting. As someone who is on a dating site (I know you said you are married) just be careful. Sometimes men claim to be single parents & soon enough ask for money as "something horrible happened". I'm sure he is not that case. But, I feel I need to do my part even if another single mom is reading this.

I totally agree. I knew someone once that this happened to. They pull you in and you end up caring about them and then something horrible happens and they start asking for money, and the horrible events keep happening etc

I'm a bit lost as to what the question is....but you mentioned met him on Facebook and Nigeria. I think you're being schmoozed to be scammed. Google 419 Nigeria Scam.

This screams scam. My honest opinion is that you need to run from this.

Yeah. Single father from Nigeria? I'd tread lightly.

This screams scam to me also. Talk to him as much as you'd like but the second he starts talking about money (even if it involves him sending you money) then cease contact immediately and block him. Do not give him an opportunity to provide a charming explanation.

RUN FAST!!!!! I have a very strong feeling this is a scam. I also want to tank you for reminding all of us to watch out for each other. In todays world we need each other. Good luck.
