RE: all the bad stories about Turkish men

Hi there Elina,

You are so right to doubt this man's sincerity. I was engaged to an Iranian who moved to Canada and also 2 weeks after we started dating he said he loved me. We met online and in a teary voice told me at that point that he removed his profile from the web. I was definitley skeptical, but hung in for the ride. All this happened 3 years ago. As the relationship progressed, he was always finding ways for me to go visit him and would come up with the lamest excuses not to visit me. Whever he'd visit me he would act weird, and for whatever reason I agreed to move in with him (since I was spending half my time at his place anyway). As soon as I moved in he was very cold to me and we started growing apart. He did not communicate his true feelings to me and would tell his family and parents. It ended up that he got his family to gang up on me and kicked me out of his condo with 2 weeks notice. It was the saddest, most humiliating experience ever and I can't believe I let it happen to me. Don't let it happen to you. It's not worth it.

Wish you all the best!
