Response to Faye

Hi Faye and thanx for your response,

I too am a, well just turned 38 y/o Black female, no kids and never married. I didn't read my previous response so forgive me if I repeat stuff.

Yes I am taking it slow, and as I mentioned b/f this man comes to me through a long time moroccan female friend, it's a friend of her brother in law. They told me this is real and that if they wanted a "fake" marriage for him, there are a couple of women they have in mind, but they want a real marriage for this man and for myself.

I don't know if you are American or not, but you know what we are dealing with, within our own community and my friend sees that also, every time she would have a party, and invite her arab and moroccan friends they'd all be married and the 3 (black females ) she'd invite, we'd be the single ones.

At this point and time in my life I just would like to settle down with a nice man, and yes I am aware that this man wants to come to America, but I'm also aware that he would like a wife regardless, he's 43 never married and no kids. When I was first introduced to this man, I started visiting various sites to get some insight, little did I know I would encounter such negativity, and yes it scares me, even though I know this man through friends, ppl from other countries tend to back each other up, I don't want to doubt my friend, b/c it would hurt her feelings and I have known her for 9 yrs, she's never hurt me.
