hi again didnt take long before im here again - anxious yes. my flights are booked -my friend is sorting out my pick up from airport and i have accommodation. things are moving now very quickly - but what im anxious about is i have been called everything from friend to sweet :- which is obviously the norm :- the last telephone call he called me his family and then wife??? i havnt been anyones wife for 20yrs and dont intend to be . but am i classed as that if i have to have this orfi paper? i have to have this document if i am in his company. How do i protect myslef if i have one of these? I do not want it registered. ?

He is taking a week off work to be with me to take me to places i didnt get chance to see on my last visit. :- As I will be safer with him as chaperone, no hassle. He also wanted to know what i would like for meal when i visit his family .He wants to buy me egyptian clothes etc etc. As he is making some effort i am not sure how i answer his questions. I have told him of the scams and i have doubt of him because of this, and he replys by why do you think i lie?? and that i myself could be lieing also. WE have to trust. This has to be earned i know, but im being rushed. tooo much. my head is all over the place. He has been in the tourist trade for 9 months only and wishes me not to take notice of what people are saying . He loves me from the heart -..he never had sex tried but couldnt.....the cliches seem all too familer. needed to get this off my chest.

Unfortunately all this sounds like a scam...

1) Quickly, quickly- before your emotions cool down

2) He probably has a wife already- beware of his "sister"- this could be in fact wife

3) Orfi marriage is called a licence to f...it is simply a paper that allows you to rent a flat together or a hotel room...It is a kind of marriage in which woman has no rights and a man can enjoy sex...

4) Well- I would say that he can be a danger...Dont you think ?

5) YOU DONT HAVE TO DO ANYTHING- please cool down, he uses emotional blackmail to lure you into Egypt...If he is so successful via Internet/phone- think what he can do if you actually come to Egypt...

Take for example the facts that he took a week off work ( in fact he may have no work at all) and that he plans to buy sth for you...

He told you that in order to guilt trip you into coming...If you get cold feet and try to call it back- he would say that he already took a week off so on...Maybe even more- he had argument with his boss about it -all just to make you feel bad about not coming...

Remember he made that OF HIS OWN FREE CHOICE and you are not obliged to pay him back in any way...
