I am from Canada...im 34 years old, I look about 18..but besides that...the guy i met is stunning...he is 28 years old..he has introduced me to his family, talked to them on the phone. I have also talked to his nieces and he is teaching them english. They say hi aunt, and I love you and goodbye to me...very cute.

He is always online..we talk on phone and I am going there in March of 2008. Tonight was the first night I saw this guy's humour. He was mimicking chinese to me..making me laugh so hard on the phone and then tried to mimic canadian slang too...he is very nice to me. We have had our fights..omg..have we ever..we broke up a couple of times..but always came back to each other.

He lives with his roommate and best friend of 10 years, and I have seen his place and his roomies on webcam..and there honestly doesn't seem like much to worry about..the relationship has been pretty typical for me for what I am used to with Canadian men. He speaks french fluently, arabic (has been teaching me to speak it) and english pretty well. I sooo want to marry this guy..we are both good lookin' individuals..I have no kids, just 2 great danes and an american pit bull terrier.

I hear alot about green cards, moroccan gf's they want to marry but just want a green card, all sorts of things. I need to know what to watch out for. We talk about marriage but he says it is up to me to come see him and meet him and decide how I feel. Of course, i have talked about marriage to men in my own country too. He is very americanized from what i see, loves the same pop style music as me, just alot of stuff seem normal. how normal is normal?

I need to know what the heck I am getting into. I am buying my own plane tickets soon!! When we have had our fights he seems hurt, I do too. i have been there done that in this country many a time. I know he is not lying to me about age, or his family. I know his family is not poor so I am guessing this is him just wanting to find love. i know he does not like the moroccan people and is very into the culture in america. any advice on this is greatly appreciated!
