"Isis---Maybe him and his friends were joking because I am American, not because I'm a "second wife". I forget who posted about the Orfi document, but yeah I know the law in Egypt, that's why I stayed in a flat and not a hotel or a tourist location. We were only questioned once when we entered the Egyptian Museum in Cairo, otherwise we did not have any other problems. And I saw 2 other foreign girls with Egyptians, one was English and one was Russian I think, they were both older ladies with guys who were like 19. I met a friend of his from college (a girl) and we get along very well. I asked her if he had a gf/wife and she said "No, he doesn't even talk to girls, he is very shy". But who knows, maybe he is married and she doesn't know either. Every time he gets back from his land I ask him "so how is your wife" and he laughs and says "I'm not married, wallahi" so who knoooooooows. :S"

With so many doubts and so many unanswered questions I don't understand why you would still allow yourself to be set up by this man.Also, Egyptians don't have long engagements so your proposal on waiting five years before marriage is a strange one. Strange comment too that he has switched from law to tourism - there is little money in tourism & much competition even if he is training to be a guide. Too many red flags here for my liking. Be cautious.
