I may be just fool for love
About a month ago a girl contacted through Facebook. So, I thought, "What the hell? I'm a lonely old man of 70, what could it hurt. I'll cut her off when she starts talking $$. So I've gone along for a few weeks. She sounds like she is madly in love with me. I cannot fathom why. I'm guessing she's in her 20s. Anyway, reading her chats she seems wonderful but clues get through from the things she types than bring me pause. She told me she was in West Africa with her Nigerian grandmother. She seems to type beautiful things to me but I there not her's. When she actually communicate something to me it's barely understandable. Now I don't care. I'm not racist, though I was raised by racists. I'm not prejudiced. I happen to be mostly Western European but for most of my life I was told I was part Cherokee until my sister discovered I'm not. I was raised Jewish but my mother converted after my birth so only the Reforms accept me. So genes don't bother me, she's a beautiful girl. Another reason why I can't figure the attraction.
She has finally asked for money, but mostly for Christmas, so I'm using it as a test. Even if I lose, I can afford it and I half expect it. But if there's a chance. I know what you're thinking, "what an idiot" but I have a plan that may already be broken by that idiot in the White House. The plan is for her to come here to meet me, but now Trump says he'll stop everybody coming from what he called "shit-hole" countries like Nigeria, even though it's not. I think it's a fascinating country myself.
I just felt like telling this little story to somebody. People that know me would probably give me a hard time. It's just that I've been alone so long pretty words and promises from a beautiful girl are really hard to resist.
= new reply since forum marked as read
but this person will not bring you happiness or comfort.... possibility? find an AI girlfriend... at least you know who she is and you know she won't need money 
Good luck and maybe find a book club or other hobby group 
Another one would be a local Unity Church of Christ...they too are not particularly dogmatic but are a little more "out there" with the love bombing...Both of these groups were always friendly...and I'm an agnostic (aka, wimpy atheist). I have attended a local Episcopal Church and they were fine, more traditional Xian with lots of up and downs (hard on the knees) but not pushy. The local Quaker "meetings" I've been to were fine as well, mostly just sitting quietly with your thoughts in a group...Went to a Zen meditation group a few times, again it was okay...possibilities for meeting someone you may like...
Edit: All of these meetings had some sort of discussion, usually afterwards which helped with getting out of your/my shell...
