Casual Dating a Morrocan Man

Submitted by Shay, Mar 21, 2019 at 16:55

I am casual dating a Moroccan guy for 2 month. Both of us are here in US and he is on Green card. It started off as mostly physical and he is "still" very explicit that we wants an open relationship.

I am okay with it but he has been asking for very boyfriend-y things lately, like real dates for dinner/ movies "without" s**, sleep-over at his place even though I insist on my place, he has told about me to his friends and family, he makes an extra effort to introduce me to his friends, spent his birthday with me. Now he even insists on meeting me more than once a week.

Is it normal for Moroccan guys to act boyfriend-y in casual dating? I don't know but to me it feels too much and I am afraid in his head he wants more and will become aggressive/controlling in future.
