Stop the movie

I can't even begin to truly understand what you feel, but I kinda have a clue. I am 18yr.old American girl and a pre-med major, first year university student. I met a Egyptian guy online and we have talked every day for the last 4months. We really fell in love and he told his family about me and wanted me to come to Egypt and be with him. My friend actually found out and talked me out of it and woke me up to the reality.

When it comes to these types of situations you have to think with your head. Its hard there are so many emotion invloved. I never realized that until my Egyptian guy. For you,the truth is if he really wanted you he would have you. He is thinking very logically about the whole thing otherwise he would have blown off his family and followed his heart and choose you already. Now you have to take a weekend, cry, have your heart bleed, and then get up and end this movie.

Don't let him call, take the big step and end it becaus its not going anywhere. Thats how we look at this. A movie where there is a happy ending and your love is perfect. But you have to use your head, put careful thought and logic into it and realize that you have to moce on. Because he already has. If he was following a movie line he would have put you first. Hope this helps some. Its never easy. I have had to end my realtionship with my guy. We had been making plans for me to go to Egypt with his family. But I woke up and now with a broken heart am moving on, focusing on my school.

Wishing you all the best.
