Response to Lisa

Thank you for your response, and I agree when you said "He did me a favor by breaking up)" I was in a relationship with an African man, he wasn't controlling, but he was secretive and didn't seem to care what I did, among other things, so he too did me a favor, b/c I would be in hell now had I married him.

Before I get too involved with this man I definitely plan to talk things over, I am a Christian, but this man was told a long time ago I was Christian and that I am not changing my beliefs. As for drinking and male friends, well I don' t drink nor have male friends so my guy won't really have that to worry about, not to mention I was raised in a VERY strict home, but I am independent now, so my guy and I will have much to discuss b/f I get too involved.
