I'm currently dating a guy I met on skype, from ghana. I really want the relationship to work but how do I know for sure that I can trust him.

What makes you unsure about this? Be careful as there are a lot of scams from foreign countries in trying to get money from people

By not getting carried away. Your electronic pen pals, and that's it. Anything else is a fantasy in your head.

If he needs money, for any reason, don't trust him.

Not even for a ticket to come see you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
