Jordanian

Well by the end of this post I will put his email, you have made a very valid point.

I had posted on here before and most recently a few weeks ago because I want to go to Jordan to meet the man I have been talking to for over a year. He is 51 I am 44. Our chats have been like live conversations, I have always felt connected to this man. We have seen eachother on webcam, talked on the phone and email and IM. Now I want to see the man that has my heart all in a tither lol..

I am having some weird feelings and I want to run it by you all. Especially straight talk luigi.

He says he cant get a visa to come here, says 1) he dont have the extra money to apply, and 2) if they deny him he will not be able to re apply for 5 years IF they even let him re apply. We cant get a fiance visa because we have not met each other. So I have talked a very good friend of mine to go to Jordan with me, as a travel partner and also I know she wont let me do anything stupid like marry this guy there lol... My friend and I were talking about getting married and he said first we have to go to the embassy and then court. I asked what court and why and he said SHARIA COURT, TO MAKE IT LEGAL.

Ok so I about had a heart attack, I am armenian orthodox christian and I am going to marry this guy in sharia court and become muslim and not be able to leave there unless he gives me permission? I also remembered what someone said on here that if it is a true marriage the marriage should be in a mosque, so I asked him" why cant we get married in the mosque? " He replied, no court, I said why not the mosque and he said" ok when you get here we talk about it" . I do know he is divorced twice, ( or at least he says he is), but he is Sunni and can have 4 wives if he chooses.

The other issue I am having is that our relationship has been " spotless", no dirt on him, he owns a condo there but if broke, like most of us here lol, he has polio and gets a small disability . I have spoke with his sister on the phone and his sons and also via the internet. They claim they are happy that he found someone, that he loves me, they want me to go there as their guest, yadda. SO peeps, what do I do?

His name is BASEM, email is basem_2005_@hotmail.com I am very interested in seeing if anyone knows him I also need to know for sure if I should go there HELP we were planning on going in a month or so.
