The beginning of your comment sounds just like my Jordanian friend. I love how he would talk about his religious belief and how he would never talk dirty to me. He is so charming and good looking. This is my first trip to Jordan and I hope I see enough signs to not want to make another. I will not make another one on my own anyway. I decided on this trip just to meet him. The marriage questions come later after I had decided to go there on my vacation. I don't think I'm going to do it. Especially this time and if he loves me enough to send me the money to come again later, if we are still friends, I may go.

He is always talking about trust to me. I tell him thats something he has to earn over time form me. How did he treat you in Jordan? What was he trying to prove by holding you hostage? What happened when you got away? I am thankful you mentioned that. I am a probation officer and I am licenced and carries a gun. I have been through the same training as a police officer. I 'm not saying he will not be abusive to me becasue of these things. He just knows that I deal with police officers, lawyers, and judges everyday. Tell me some more about the science they use.
