My relationship with an Egytpian man IS successful because i spend a lot of time in Egypt, I know his family and friends, I have an understanding of Islam and I appreciate the culture. At least Lisa has had the opportunity to meet and get to know (albeit briefly) her Egyptian man. This is a positive.

I have suggested in an earlier post that she should research Islam. research the sociolgy of Egypt and research the culture. Also ,I will add tha tour guides are highly respected in Egypt and must have tertiary qualifications to be licensed as a guide.

By Egyptian standards, tour guides are highly paid and because they must undergo stringent security screenings to become licensed (this allows them access into the customs areas of airports etc) it can somewhat reduce the threat of them being "scammers". Go with your gut feeling on this one but I strongly suggest that you investigate Islam and what it would mean to you if you entered into a relationship with this man.

Also, I am just wondering how on earth you can date someone on "Myspace" and get to know them (?????) - at least Lisa is experiencing the real deal!
