i am sorry re your story, i have also done my homework before i meet up with my friend, it seems that really when you read all the stories we are doomed from the start. i go in the morning and i am aprehensive to say the least i have tormented myself with the orfi thing, and whether he is true in what he says. i think you were probably funding the habit of other women as this is what they seem to do, need money for the next lady and so on.

i have learned a lot these past few weeks and i know that the orfi is now getting out of control my friend seems to be going to an orfi do every week, so its a racket really. everyone makes money out of it, we succuumbe to it because its safer than the tourist police stopping you. im not sure if im going to bother with it at all, and just be a little more distant. i was wondering how these guys get away with you meeting their families, if the family is a against their sons marrying - a divorcee, a european, a women with a child and so on.

They may pretend to like you to your face but when your gone, how do they react??we are a money pot. i have realised it probably will also end up like this, him wanting money

i was also wondering how many paths have crossed, the black lists are not up to date and i think that the tourist industry in general needs to be addressed and warn of this racket, as it was my first time in egypt and i think once youve stated that ,..you are a target i have contradicted myself i know because i so wanted to believe in my guy, i will not know until maybe, like you a year later, a year of wasted time and effort. so is it really worth all that heartach.. you will be ok and im glad you have not parted with your money as we have to work damn hard to achieve it.
