Algerian Guy

Hey everyone,

I've just been reading thru a lot of the comments here regarding muslim men.... i really need your help, it would be greatly appreciated =)

IIm 21yrs old, english and i met an algerian boy (24years old) on a music website, we got chatting etc and we have a lot in common. We spoke on the phone, sms.... and over time i genuinally began to like him. He always made the effort to speak with me and is extremely well mannered and caring. He wants me to visit him soon, to meet his parents etc...

I told my mother about the fact i speak with a muslim guy and she sounded extremely concerned. I understand there are a lot of 'bad apples' in every religion/faith....surely not all muslim men are the same?

Truth be told, i have fallen for this guy. He's very smart (training at med school) and im also at med school..i cant see why he would only want me for citizenship?

Im a little confused by all the negativity regarding muslim men, are they all like this? Should i be weary?

I feel really disappointed because im pretty tolerable and open to religions (altho i could never convert to islam) and i dont want to form a relationship with this person, only to find out he's exactly like the men in the experiences some of the ladies here have had.

Sorry to ramble on but im just totally in the dark and dont know what to do. I genuinally like this person and feel a great connection with him. I try to imagine he's not muslim and ask myself 'would i be so digilant if he were another religion' because all in all he sounds like a normal guy.

Thankyou, Sofie. x
