Dating a Moroccan Man... Any Custom's I should Know About?

Submitted by Amanda (Germany), May 2, 2008 at 16:02

I met a Moroccan born man last week for a first date, he was very kind, very highly educated / successful and very sexy. We parted with a kiss, he was very respectful and has continued to be. He has lived in the US for 20+ years. He is NOT MUSLIM.

The next time we meet, he's cooking me dinner at his home. Are there any "customs" I should know about? Could someone please share with the customs for intimacy? Is it ok for a woman to be the aggressor in the relationship? Can we have sex? Also, should I be concerned? Are there any warning signs I should look for that may otherwise go unnoticed or may just appear to be a "foreign thing" that I am not familiar with? Please..... I'm recently divorced with two beautiful children, I do NOT want to be taken advantage of or take for a ride with this man or any man. I've never dated a foreign man before and these posts have me scared to hell...

Thank you!!!
