i have just read your article and i too met a really good looking charming egyptian man who told me he loved me and after a couple of weeks talking on msn said he wanted to marry me. i told him no and he seemed okay. i went to see him in egypt and he kept on about marrying me and how much he loved me. he treated me like a queen and when i got home he used to call me my wife in conversation.

i told him i would not get married but it made no difference , it was as if he was trying to brain wash me into thinking i was his wife. sometimes there were periods when he would not get in touch and have a story as to why. after 5 months i decided to end it as it did not feel right. he then text me to say that i was right to end it as he was not being respectful to his religion as a moslem or his culture by being with me?

i know now that he was after a visa or money, just be careful as he is asking you to marry him way too early. they are very sweet and charming and steal your heart very fast.
