Online Love or Scam? Beware of Deceptive Relationships on Social Media

I met a young man on Facebook, and we have been talking for over six months. He claims to be a philanthropist and a kind person who works as an interior designer around the world. Despite the significant age gap between us, he expresses his love for me and talks about a future together. However, I am apprehensive about meeting him in person due to my age and health issues. I have contemplated ending the relationship, but he becomes upset whenever I bring up the topic. I care for him deeply, but I am uncertain about the authenticity of his intentions. What should I do in this situation?
Proceed with Caution:
Before making any commitments, it is crucial to meet this individual face-to-face to verify his identity and intentions. Be wary of any requests for financial assistance, as they could be signs of a potential scam. Remember, things that appear too good to be true often turn out to be deceptive.
