He never asked me to come to Jordan. After we begin to chat, I made a statement that I always wanted to visit there and that I should come on my vacation. Just to visit and meet him. He started bringing up marriage months later. That is the only reason why I paid for my trip. Money came up in a round-about-way when he thought I had agreed to marry him, so he would tell me how the precedure goes. We get marry there and I bring the marriage papers or whatever back to the US and start the process of getting him here in the US with me.

He mentioned a fee and asked me could I take care of that. I told him no, I don't have money. I constantly speak how I don't have money, thinking that by now he would have gone. But he is still around, calling, messaging, emailing and texting. Maybe he thought he would try me and just decided that he will pay for the everything himself. It maybe that he wants a sponsor to get here. All I know I 'm not giving up any money. A broken heart can heal in time. I'm going to hold on to my dignity.

Thanks
