I am a young american woman and i am in love with an egyptian, and i have researched much and have learned from others not to take this lightly. However i met this man because he was playing online game with a friend of mine so he added my msn. We talked for long time and then stopped for awhile. This past year we have started talking again and fallen in love. He wants to wait until he is done with his university and the military and then come and see me in the us but that will be another 2 years and i do not want to wait that long to see him.

I told him i wanted to see him sooner and he told me that i would have my own room in his families house and we could really get to know each other. I am in college also but we both have break i January, which i hear is the ideal time to go to Egypt. I have a boyfriend here which is why i cannot wait two years. I need to see him to know that he is really real, i do not want to be stupid about this but i wish to give myself the chance, and if i did not i would forever regret it. I am not sure what to do.. I am young and need advice.
