kissing

Submitted by Nefer - hoping I'm not another sucker (Canada), Jan 29, 2008 at 10:54

ok.. so like so many others I am falling for a Muslim man... he seems genuine...loving... he is very devoted to his family..works very very hard...and wants us to get married if he can get his mother's permission. '

In public he is very polite with me. I rented a flat this time and he came over to visit but we did not have sex since it is not right in Islam. We did cuddle a lot.. he holds my hand a lot, but won't kiss me or explain why. He kisses me on the forehead and says this means more respect than the kissing on the mouth. Apparently after we marry we can do it.. but not now.

Oh ..yes.. one more thing.. I am over 20 years older than he...duh!! Hope I am not another victim.

Anyone ever hear of this?
