My own experiece of Moroccan man

Submitted by Sue (United Kingdom), Oct 17, 2007 at 04:53

I went to Morocco for the first time in June, I won't go through all the story but let's just say over the 2 week period I was 'pursued' in the nicest possible way by a lovely young man, he was only 27 and I was nearly 48. Let's call him ADNANE FROM AGADIR!

Now I'm not completely stupid and most people would say I'm fairly intelligent so I fobbed-off his advances for all the usual reasons because why would a young hansome man want me? So I guessed that "he's only after one thing", or maybe two (money!). Anyway, by nearly two weeks into the holiday I was completely taken in and ecstatic about this wonderful new relationship in my life. I came home completely broken hearted at leaving him behind - but I wrote every week and sent text's, emailed him and rang him once a week and we were going to get together in a few months time when I made plans to go to be wioth him for one week.

I told him I was willing to commit to this, just to see if this really was true-love. I only ever got emails back maybe once or twice a week if lucky, which 'varied' in content. I am now convinced he had a job-lot' of pre-written sentences he'd use. The relationship grew to new heights when I got to the email one day that said "inshallah, we shall be together forever".

I was well and truly in love, I had no reservations about him and rather stupidly if he'd have asked me to pack my job in and sell my home to come and live with him I would seriously have thought about it.

And YES i did send him money through, yes you've guessed it "Western Union", though I support many charities at home and only sent him what I thought was something I'd send to charity anyway as I knew I'd never get it back. That may sound strange but I think I knew in my heart that it wasn't right for someone to ask me for money, but LOVE is BLIND.

However, one day not long afterwards I did an innocent search in Google on his name whilst passing a few mins...and hey, was I surprised when I saw a web page for his WIFE and a photo of the two of them together. I was completely devastated, I then found a web page for him which he called "Men for love"!... now ladies, what's that telling you?

Let's just say that his wife lives in Australia and she'd met him on the internet, he turned out to be 25 and she is 52 (5 years older than me). I felt like screaming at her "don't waste your life on this layabout who goes with other women when you are not there. I did not make contact with her as some told me to do as I knew that would break her heart and I couldn'tdo that to someone.

BUT HIM.... I'd like to make sure he never does this again....so if you know Adnane from Agadir girls...he's charming, sexy and a fabulous dancer....but he'll drain every ounce of energy, money and emotion from you! BEWARE!
