in my openion 99% he is not a good guy but if she knows him well she should ask him why does he need the money or what will he spend it on. but if the relation is still in the beginning then most probably he only wants the money not her..
but i prefer to give him a last chance AND dont send the money. send it only if there is a rational excuse.
good luck 4 ur daughter.

I shared this story and the responses with the man I recently fell in love with in Turkey. He was horrified. We spent 2 days fighting, because he couldn't believe I was raising doubt about his love for me. We knew each other for a very short time, but really fell madly in love.

He would never ask me for a dime. It would be the end of our relationship. Really. I also realize we are much more mature than your daughter and her suitor.

Still, I do believe it presents a serious character flaw.

I teach teenagers, so I understand you may feel like you are taliking into the wind. Perhaps she could get a job and earn the money to send him. She would learn a deep lesson about work and love that way

Good Luck
