Same Boat

Hi,

I totally understand what you're going through, I myself am in the same boat. If I was you, I would ask him to come out and see you. If he's wealthy then he won't have a problem financially. He can come on the basis he gets a holiday visa. I myself tried to be really logical, I didn't want to be just another women who went on holiday and met a turkish guy. The minute someone tells me I cringe thinking poor girl but then it happened to me and of course I said well this is different I'm not naive but never say never. I myself am turkish and live in London. I was born here but still have the same worries. I'm just taking each day as it comes, not giving too much away and not getting emotional wrapped up. I was meant to go out there and see him but I soon changed my mind and decided to ask him to come and see me... After all all his lovely words are great but theyre just words... actions of course speak louder. Hope you have fun and gain a lot of happiness from what ever you decide.
