your comments really helped me out..Luigi (not so much).

I didn't reply to your latest post until now. That tells me you are not reading this blog carefully. Your loss.

I have decided to go with my heart on this one and we are planning a trip to egypt in March of this year to meet with his family and getting married in the near future...

If you love with just your heart, it will get broken. When it does, feel free to come back.

Luigi..i was asking for advice for two simple reasons..#1 My family would know nothing about egyptian men and i wanted to talk to some women that did.

No matter how much Lina, Isis and other defenders and their relatives on here bleat and whine and complain, the vast majority of posters on here are women. I happen to be a man who has lived with an Egyptian man and an Iraqi man before. Most of the women on here, including Isis, think that they can develop a marriage and relationship over instant messaging and SMS. That is what you are getting by "some women that did".

Also, it is worth noting that Lina is 18 years old. You really want life-altering advice from a teenager?

If you would actually take the time to stop and think about this, you may have found these important facts out for yourself. My guess is though we won't hear from you again and you were just looking for someone to tell you to go for it because it will all be okay.

Congrats! You got it!

As for getting married in a rush..i dont think being with someone for a year is "getting married in a rush". I understand you are talking "straight" luigi.. but if i would have listened to you. I would have let a wonderful man and a wonderful opportunity get away.

If you truly understood my "straight talking" you would not go through with this and what I said would have not caused you to insult me.

The reality is you have no idea who this man really is (that's why you blog about him, that much is obvious). Scammers, liars and people with alterior motives thrive on quick marriage especially in international relationships.

You can even go through all the precautionary measures that Isis perscribed, which would be wise, but it doesn't mean jack squat as far as the reality of your relationship goes.

I hope other women have not let good men get away ...

They do by wasting their time on-line and not dating men in their own country and giving nice guys a chance because they don't look good and young enough. Instead, they look on-line for an international relationship they can show off and brag about it on here and elsewhere. Some of them probably even communicate with me more than with their significant others during their tenure on here.
