Hi

I have been reading the posts here for several months now. I have heard stories about every middle eastern country except Jordan.

I met a man on Big church.com, a christian dating site. I went to the single men listed under Jordan and found this mans picture, so sweet , cute, something told me to comment on him so I sent him a "wink". A day later he winked back then he emailed me and we have been chatting on msn daily for hours at a time, since April, we talk on the phone and email as well.

This man has been there for me emotionally like no other, not my exhusand, unlike one of my friends or anyone in my family. We confide everything in each other, we talk for hours, he makes me laugh, we have so much in common.

Now comes the sticky part, he wants to get married. He has polio that he recieved in a catholic orphange he was raised in , in Isreal be fore it was irraticated. I have seen his pictures so I know this is true. He owns a so so condo in Amman, and is on disability, his ideal solution is for me to go to Jordan and marry him and we both come back here together, my ideal solution is for him to come here, on his own merit, and if it dont work out he can go back, and we can call it a day.

We have been talking about marriage for some time now, i feel the need to rush because I am so overwhelmed with emotion and love for this man, he thinks we should wait until he can provide for us, as he is getting some money from his father soon, he thinks it is his duty to support me, and he wants to make sure we are financially stable first. He is talking a few more months, I am thinking morelike LAST MONTH.

He seems very sincere, and level headed, but how do I know for sure? I need advise on how to handle this, we do love eachother and we can patiently wait for eachother, but I need to know if anyone knows anything about men from Jordan, and if so can you share your experiences with me
