he sounds too good to be true ....he probably is ....is he married ? could be she will hide away when you visit .....stop offering money ....do not pay for the wedding or visa ...he may be chatting to a lot of people on the internet they could be sending him money......BEWARE OF A GOOD LOOKING MOROCCAN LIVING IN A TOURIST AREA LOOKING FOR LOVE ON THE INTERNET THEY CAN FIND PLENTY OF "LOVE" IN TOWN ...They are most often looking for a visa or if you can come to morocco and buy a house business etc ...even better....he may be getting money from tourists he may be saving you for the big one ....house usa passport etc....at 42 you are way too old for him....he will want children ....he may tell you he does not want children ...or that he is unable to have children....ask for a photo copy of his moroccan id card it will give his name AGE ? add and cin number ...when you arrive in el jadida find an advocat and ask him to do a police check on this man. or go to the commisioner of tourist police and ask about him..... if he has a police record (many do)you will have to pay to clean his papers ....or he will not get a visa....does he speak good english ? where did he learn english ? what job does he have ?if it is in the tourist industry beware.... was he born in el jadida or did he go there for work? ..moroccans dream for a nice attractive westerner .....he probaly does love you but i if he doesnt have children he will want them later...it is ramadam here now try to get him on line between 8am and 6pm moroccan time ...if he is a good muslim and he is lying to you he will find it harder during ramadam ....i am guessing that you are not muslim....so he can still lie to you even during ramadam ....i know this sounds harsh ...i know many many mixed marriages here .....i do not know any westerners here that have not spent a lot of money on the moroccan and i dont know any that are happy.........60% of the people are poor...they dream for a chance of leaving the country ..they see moroccans returning from us /europe with enough money to buy a car a business and a home....a poor moroccans aim is the same as everyone elses to have a better life there are not many opportunities for uneducated people from poor families ....marrying a foreigner is their best option....read all the posts on herei am sure not all of them plan it but i know a lot do...a good looking 32 year old (he may be younger) man of any nationality chatting on the internet sends off ALARM BELLS in my head ....you can't say in 5 years you were not warned........good luck
