To Luigi:

I still have some concerns about that situation, though.

And just be careful, because I think he's counting on you to fall for him. It's a guy thing

I do too. And I think you're right, it's a guy thing. And I'm sure, as gorgeous as he is, he's not used to rejection much.

I also remember your concern about jealousy on my initial post and I do think there is a difference between the jealousy of an American/ European guy and a man raised as a Muslim. I think for Americans and Europeans jealousy most often arises out of personal insecurity. With my Algerian guy, it arose out of his beliefe that I belonged to him, not any insecurity on his part. I know this is anecdotal, but I suspect it's true.
