Hi ALR

to be honest, i think you need to wait and see what your b/f will say when he comes back from his visit. you know, if he is already here in the states, then you know that he's not using you for anything. he's a citizen, he works, owns a house.. i think your worse situation is that his parent may say, no way. and they may want him to marry a muslim woman, (which is anyone's first guess, those who know the muslim rules).

at least he was honest about what he has told you concerning his intentions from a to z. and you say you have had no premarital sex with him, so this is in your favor because at least you have not lost that to him, if he comes back and says, no.
but if says yes, he may want you to convert to islam. does he still practice this religion? if he does, you will have to convert for sure. do you want to?
are you older than he is?
i think your situation is just a matter of wondering what way to go on this. you do have a good job and you will still have a life.
you haven't really lost anything, money wise. so be very grateful for this.
i don't know, your's may be one of the normal cases on this blog. but you still have that "parent bridge" to cross, and then you'll need to go and meet them if you are to hook up with this man. wow.. let us know what they say...

merry christmas
