Have I been conned so well that I don't see it? yes

Could he be different and worthy of a friendship? no, boy toys are boy toys, regardless how much you think you respect him and want him to respect you.

What do you think will be his next steps ? If you see him again, he will ask for more gifts while being very sweet.

Middle Eastern men and women are culturally warm and very hospitable. They are gracious and charming people.... but sometimes there is another side when they are in a relationship with "the other"

Boy Toys are simply something for the moment and they will not care about your tears because ultimately they have their own needs. They will choose someone with the same background to be the mother of their children.

As an independent, good-looking woman, you will meet someone who shares your interests and has the same status as yourself.

Move on and find the friendship which will make you both very happy.
