Hi bewildered. I appreciate that you're giving time and effort to respond and give realistic opinion about my story. Anyway, with regards to your question about the time we talked, it is around 1:00 am Philippine Time and 7:00 pm Egyptian Time. Is that ok? Before, we talked 10:00 pm Philippine time and 4:00 pm Egyptian time, because his shift in the hotel is 4 am. So he came home early, around 4 pm and then we talk from that time onwards. Previously he worked as a Receptionist in Hotel Azur, but after his sister got married he shifted to another job as Asst. Marketing Manager / Translator in an Export Industry because tourism is not doing well. He said he won't be too available to talk like we used to. Before 8 hours daily is very short, but since he changed his career, he became too busy. He stayed in the company because it's too tiring for him to travel back and forth and drive for almost an hour.

You know, sometimes I became so sad about our situation mainly because we are far. How I want to be with him desperately. He wanted me to visit Egypt on his own expense. He said he will pay for everything as his family is pretty much well off. I wanted to go there, but you know I don't know if that is the right thing to do. I know once I see him, there is no turning back as much as my emotion is concern. Right now, I am pretty sure that I love him, how much more if I could see him personally and spend sweet memories. I asked him a lot of times about his intention and he said he respects me because of all the girls he had before, no one turned him down except me. So we spent hours and hours talking about culture, politics, religion etc. He is very smart and his English is fluent. His ideas made sense and I could feel that he came from a good family. About how he opposed to terrorism, domestic abuse, murder of women and children and so on. I said, maybe you just hold on to me, so you could be sexual anytime you want. Lol. He became very sad and told me, that if he wanted just like that, he could just choose any girl who doesn't demand of serious topic to discuss on. Yes, on that part I agree. If he just wants to have fun, then why stick with me? And he said that he never felt the love that he has for me. He admitted that he had sexual affairs with Russians, Germans even divorced Egyptians. He never concealed these things to me. But he said, he already stopped doing this 1 yr. ago and just want to focus on his career. He said, Baby I want you to be proud of me. I will do my best to be successful for you. Very romantic right?

Anyway, just sad because he never called me. Lol. I never demanded anything from him. I am not like that by nature. Once he texted me and he used another number. Is that normal? Lol. Anyway, he said he want to marry me and be the mother of his kids. I believe him. But sometimes, I am just scared he is hiding something from me. I am so tormented right now. Never in a million years have I expected that I will fall in love online. He was never online technically, as he was in Invisible mode always. He said he will visit me this summer if I don't want to go to Egypt. I don't know if this is all true. But at least, this is what he said. I could feel that he's sincere but don't know if this is just my heart acting out. Please help me guys. I am falling in-love deeply. If he's married or have a girlfriend, I will walk away even it will hurt so bad.
