Submitted by amy (Australia), Apr 21, 2008 at 08:51

i am a australian woman and have had a lebanese muslim courting me, if i can call it that, we have known each other for about 10 months and at the start i didnt see him that much a phone call here and there and a visit the same.

he has said to me that he want to do it right by me and that i have to be patient ........ and he has said to me that i am the one he will marry and he has known that from the first time we met ..... and that he will know when it is time he is starting to come around more often and i get a phone call once a week. i havent got his phone numbe,r still he says that he dont trust anyone, but that might be his own issues but i need to know if this has happened to anyone out there and what i should do ....... we have fooled around but no sex is that right ,he says that no sex b4 being married.

i know that he does have feelings 4 me and my daughter but i just need to understand if that is apart of the faith or is it the way he is ,

WHEN WILL IT BE THE RIGHT TIME ........ how long does it take ....... is there stages of the relationships .......

he has talked to me about converting and has put it there but there is somethigg that is stopping me i believe in the muslim faith,
