Ayah- in fact if you are both practising muslims you shouldnt talk to him at all...at least not without your mahram-male guardian present...
Male talking to unrelated female is totally haram- you would be jailed for that in strict islamic countries...
Dont you know what your prophet said ? When man talks with unreleated woman there is always Shaytan with them as a third ?

If a muslim man is looking for a bride he ask his female relatives/imam at mosque to look for a suitable young virgin. Then they approach her wali/mahram - male guardian- and discuss the possible wedding with the amount of mahr- dowry involved...
If a woman has no male guardian because she converted (or other reason) then the imam acts as her wali...

he has never expressed even the slightest desire to come to the U.S., in fact when he first met me, he had no idea I was from the U.S.

Be careful...Muslim in the USA and muslim in Morocco are worlds apart...
