Advice on Egytian Men

Submitted by Michelle (United Kingdom), Dec 14, 2007 at 18:46

Hi Louise,

Thank you very much for taking the time to respond to my email. The man that I have met seems very sweet. He does airport transports. He does not speak very good english at all, which I find very amusing seeing as he is 26 years old. He says that he is learning english now.

He emails me every day, on MSN, he gets his friend to help him type. He has told me that he loves me. I was only in Luxor for a week!!! I am not quite sure if that is just a form of expression for Egytian men. when I tell told him he cannot love me aftera week, he ask why not?

He says he wants to be with me and that I am the Love of his life. He says that he has never had a girlfriend before. I am not sure if I buy that becuase he is very good looking and soem how it doesn't ring true.

He says he does not care where we are as long as we are tohether. I am just not quite sure if I should take him seriously, I am very attracted to hi,.

I have explained the fact that I am a Christian and he is a Muslim may cause problems, but he says it is not a problem. How do I find put if he just wants a better life in London. Are there are any tell tell signs which I should be looking for.

He is so sweet, I mean he could turn into a violent monster. I am just so ensure what to do. If you have an email address where I could communicate with you private, please can you forward it to me.

Many Thanks
