In love with Turkish guy...:(

Hi everyone,

I was searching for some information about international relationships, especially between girls from East and Muslims. I'm in love with Muslim guy, but now I feel a bit confused. I'm Czech and he's Turkish....You already said what they think about foreign girls, so I don't need to repeat it....I met him at one of the university's exchange programmes in another country in Europe and from the beginning there was some kind of chemistry between us. We strated relationship before he left to Turkey. He told me he loves me and I don't know what else, but I didn't want to believe him. But when we were alone, he was talking a lot about his family, about his problems and also abut some secrets. It was quite unusual, because I thaught that they keep all information about familly and their secrets for themselves and they just use sweet talks to attract and blame the girl. Anyway, he left and he was calling me almost every day. But the thing is that he also introduced me to his familly and explained them that we are in love, I was talking to his mother and also grandmother.Then he started to talk about the future, that he wants to live with me and he was making some plans. He was always talking about "us", not about him. But then he started to work in his father's company..He doesn't really like it and he wants to quit and also leave Turkey...But the problem is, that he stopped calling me, we talk just once a week and he says he's too busy...He works every day with computer, so he could at least send short e-mail..I told him I don't like it, but no reaction....Still excuses...He was quite depressed, I know it from his European (non muslim) friend...He also told me during our last conversation the same. I bought a ticket to Turkey and I'm going there in few months. When he saw the ticket, he was really happy and at that time he was with his friends so probably the reaction was not "fake"....But now I really don't know what to do...Does anybody has the simmilar experience??? I mean with the introducing to the familly, friends and then the end of a "fairy tale" ??? I don't really know what to think about it...Thx for reactions and sorry for my bad English:D
