Another response to Irish Girl (Lorraine)

Lorraine,
Thank you for responding to my article, I really appreciate your advice and concern about my decision I will soon have to make.

As for yourself, I think it is difficult to have a long distance relationship while getting to know a person, don't you? If he promised he would live in Ireland with you don't get too excited yet, remember 'Actions speak louder than words'.

From what part of the Middle East is he from and where does he live now? As for your family, (something I can realte to) they just want the best for you and it is normal that they worry about you having a relationship with this man. Be patient, and make sure to talk to him and ask him any questions and/or doubts you have about him. Get to know him as much as you can first. Hopefully your boyfriend will not want to take you to live to the Middle East like mine :-(.

Best of luck in everything. Lets keep in contact, it is always nice to talk to someone I can relate to about this matter.
