Additional response to Samantha

Submitted by Curious (United States), Sep 22, 2009 at 13:36

I'm not sure about how Egyptian Christian men view or think about women. There is an old saying: When in Rome, do as the Romans do. I would suspect that the issues you may face might be very much the same as it would be with a muslim, but that's something on which you can perform additional research.

Having property / money isn't always the issue. The primary issue is how the man will treat you if you get an involvement, and middle eastern men are notorious for their mal-treatment of women. Just because he is Christian, just because he implies he wants a future with you, just because he tells you that he loves you, doesnt mean that he won't be saying those same words to another woman (or series of women) once the newness of Samantha wears off.

You must already have some doubt or you would not be here now seeking advice. If I were you, I'd seek to gain as much knowledge, vicariously, as you possibly can. Good luck.
