Do you think this would work?

Interesting this one: A friend came for advice. He was approached by a girl (27) who needs a visa to stay in the country, and she asked him to marry her to get it. He says he was going to say no as he hadn't met her before, but was so attracted to her he said he'd think about it instead. Thing is, they met for two hours yesterday to discuss this plan and I really think he's falling for her (she is quite attractive!). He showed me her Facebook profile and she seems honest and straightforward and says she is open to a proper relationship with him, that's why she says she approached him (she said he has a kind face and is quite handsome, and is her type). He's 48, single and I think is feeling life has ped him by a bit, then this lovely girl makes him an offer he can't refuse! I've told him he's being a romantic old fool and he'll only end up getting his heart broken...and yet...maybe it could work? Am I being too cynical? What do you guys think?
