Wow...just beginning

I am close to a guy from cairo. I have known him for a few months, have talked with his friends too. But I still date here. Yes, there is an age difference as well. I also told him many times to get married there. I still think it would be the best thing for him. I would love to go there as well, but I am also trying to be realistic. he is a good man, from what I've seen...and I know people who know him as well and he is not ever asking me for money. He lives at home with his family, I have seen his brother in the background. I am trying to be realistic about this as well. Because I am very independent, your typical western woman. Still, it is hard. I feel torn at times. We skype, we sms, we phone each other. I would say 6 years is a long time for something to never come to fruition, but I also know love just is.
