Hi Ginny,

Thank you for sharing your story. Ok i am going to be very open and honest with you. Be very careful they make you believe everything a woman wants to hear, and play games for thier personal gain including the family .Trust me i have been there and i know what they think about western woman.

My ex used to send me photos, love letters, and spray purfum on it and send me so nice romantic songs from Youtube, the desert rose song ,be with me on web cam for many hours every night, i had all the habbibi, amor, sweetheart, ohibok , only you baby, my precious woman ,my pearl, and he has always to told me age is a number ,welcomed me to the airport with 12 red roses, they get tips on American films.......and from their friends who have had a marriage with a western woman and divorced after all the documents were in place. After my second visit i could see the true colors and this was after one year.

I have learned so much about about Moroccans ,and all they are interested is : to get education abroad, to get the visa, to get a job and send money to buy a property and to keep the family in Morocco and marry a virgin Moroccan in the end.If he claims to be rich and lets say he is, his motives are visa, or education and work experience but i really doubt is for love.Love comes after marriage in the Muslim world, so does sex.

You can be a very attractive and inteligent woman, but i personaly think you're just a stepping stone for his own gain. Sorry to say is too good to be true.

Did you know that in Morocco is so much corruption? fake documents and id cards just to name some. If you take a look on other websites you will find more info regarding marriage scams, as well as datting scams.

If he has money i just wonder were he got them from, many date more than one woman online and they do lie a lot . Might be the case to you he is telling you he is rich and to other woman he might claim he mas medical problems and have money sent by western Union and money Gram. How would you know for sure?

Other piece of advice and the most important, if you do go to Morocco please inform your local embassy and take full medical coverage, be very careful not to get manipulated into marriage. Keep all your documents in a safe place, as i have learned they do copy the original ones and sell them. I would strongly advise you not to stay home with his family,Stay in hotel or apartment, and lock all your documents including your photos.

If you really want to go and meet him in person please take a friend or family member with you. In any case if you do go on your own you will always have his friends around you and his family too, not much space to get to know each other. Sex out of marrige in Morocco is a criminal offence and can lead to 6 months in prison even if you're from America.

He will make you feel so special including his family while you are there, and welcome you and treat you like a queen, will take so many pitcures so they can show the embasy how genuine this relationship is, and they know all about it , better than i did, but if you are not happy about something and you have doubts and confront them, could be a problem please trust me on this one too.

If you really want to give him the benefit of the doubt, please dont go on your own.

Please let me know if i can help you in any way.
