Hi,

You know, he is probably Arab, Arabs come in all different colors shapes and sizes oh and of course personalities lol. I think you should really ask yourself if you are ready for marriage. Do you want to settle down? do you want kids right away. The reason he won't marry you and live w/ you in Ireland is because it is religous prohibited for a man and women to live together if they are not married, usually because there will be sexual contact, even if people say no it wont happen, human nature is human nature.

As for just wanting girls, I guess it might be his personal preference, I find they usually want boys, or at least have one boy so he can protect the girls growing up. They are very tricky men, and you have to know them inside and out. You might even have to think like them. If you believe you know him well enough you should know that maybe a few days of not calling etc. is normal. Men do want their breaks sometimes, and women need to give it to them or they feel trapped.

Maybe you should think about going to see him for a week or a weekend, only to talk, figure out what you both want. IF you do go, dont go there to sleep w/ him, then he will have you wrapped around his fingers, and you will have the emotional connection not him. If you are having doubts or feel uneasy, that is a key sign there is something wrong. NOT BECAUSE HE IS ARAB OR MUSLIM BECAUSE THERE IS SOMTHING WRONG. dont push that over, if you do feel weird or uneasy or dont like the idea, I would re think everything logically and outside your bubble.

Good luck
