Dear Stephanie

Dear Stephanie,

I greatly appreciate your response. My Egyptian guy is just so cute and endearing. He has this action / gesture that showed his child-like personality. When we talked, we laugh about silly things and basically just having a good time. We discussed various things like culture, religion, politics and economics – everything under the sun! He is just so smart and sensible and his English is fluent too. No language barrier, whatsoever. I just love talking to him and I miss those memories. Every time we talked, we see each other on cam. His facial expression, his smile, his gaze – everything just melt my heart away. He's very romantic and he could touch my soul through his cute, charming ways. Yes, I know a lot of women being deceived by their charm. I guess I will be a part of those statistics if he's not being truthful to me.

Do they really change after some time Stephanie? I mean, even the girl is being loyal, loving and sweet to them? I read a lot of post here that nothing seemed to content and satisfy them? I feel so sad thinking about this. Knowing myself, I could be stubborn and I like to do things my way. I could not grasp the idea that someone would control and manipulate my life, one way or another. Sure, being married to someone eliminates your freedom to some degree, but losing your voice completely is not cool at all. I'm thinking what it feels like for a Christian woman married to a Muslim? It must been a very hard and complicated life. We talked about marriage, his dreams and plans for the future. He asked me to marry him and I could not think on any motive on why he said this. I am sure that this not about money or visa, because as you know I am from the Philippines, a developing country like Egypt. I just felt that he's genuine in some way. I really don't know. I love this man so much. Hopefully someday, when I need to decide for my future, I will choose the right thing. Thank you very much Stephanie.

Love,

Amber Rose
