How do I get my friend to understand her online boyfriend is NOT her real-life boyfriend?

I have a good friend whom I talk to about every day, hang out with, etc. etc. I am trying to look out for her best interest here.

She met this guy on Facebook named Andrew. We are in Pa and supposedly he is in Ca. She says he drove past her house twice in a white car, driving to the NY airport to go to Italy. Already that makes no sense! He looked at her for "4-5 seconds," did not say anything, and just drove away.

Anyways, she has bought a wallet and 2 shirts, one for him and one for his twin brother. I do not know how she will get it to him...but anyways...she said today this kid we knew from school told her he still has feelings for her. She says, "I don't want him! I have Andrew!" HOW do you HAVE him!? You never see him or hang out with him. I mean really. She says he is her "real-life" boyfriend.

I do not know if this should matter or not at all but my friend tells me she has autism. She is fine for the most part, at least as much as I can tell, I mean I am only trying to look out for her. I doubt honestly that if Andrew met someone, he'd say, "No, I have Amy." (If this matters, she is 18 almost 19 and he is 21) I do not know the best way to explain it to her. Every time I try, she gets pretty mad or annoyed. Any suggestions? Thanks! :)

Update:

Also she said she feels as if she would date someone here, she would be, "Cheating on him." I mean it's sweet but really, he is a 21-year-old guy. You REALLY think he'd think about her? Who knows but...well as I said suggestions are helpful. Thanks!

    She can be already set up by some 350 pound 12 year old back woods inbred carny type of circus brat who has nothing else better to do.

    You better make it more safe for her and force her SKYPE "this guy", if that's who he really is .

    Your principal drawback, despite the fact that you've been talking for a long time, should stay defense.You did not mention when you've got visible his image or know any person else who knows him, and you're "flying' off to meet him.You won't be to your "alleviation zone".I get the feeling you're more concerned about his feelings and his nervousness , but that may be a purple flag for you. Every body will get anxious when they meet a brand new prospect, and you hope it's going to figure out. But for your own individual safeguard, make a pal with any individual at the resort(I count on there can be one) and let then understand where you're going with your buddy.Use your mobile & maintain involved with anybody @ dwelling;think uncomfortable? Leave!
