Andrea,
I m really glad that you came to these conclusions, although I can understand that it hurts to realize that you have been taken advantage of. The good thing is that you woke up on time, before he could use you more and empty your bank account.
I know that love makes people blind, deaf and sometimes silly, but how can someone believe that a serious human being would propose marriage after a month (or less)of being in a relationship and with a period spent together not more than 2 weeks?
And, if I m not mistaken, you fall in love with somebody, mostly cause of what he is (his inner world, his personality, his dreams, his ambitions, his fears etc). How can you fall in love with someone that you cant even speak the same language with? I see translation requests, where even the word evet is being unknown. Yes, translations help but how much can you really tell about eachother, through them?
As for money and present requests, well... Turks, like Greeks, when decent, are really traditional on these subjects. No decent man would ask for presents, or would let you pay for him. They are too proud to do so.
I wont talk about the age difference, cause when people are in love, age is usually unimportant. Still though, this could be one more thing to consider.
Christine's man, looks sincere. Why? Cause when he talks about marriage yet, he does it while he is through a ...romantic crisis. And most of all, I got the impression that he is honest, from one sentence where christine wrote that he cant imagine himself living in her country. Which means that the guy is not after a visa at least 
Anyway, I m the last person who could judge or critisize, but really, open your eyes and see the signs. This would save you from a lot of trouble and heartache.
Good luck to you all
