I feel since he asked you to meet the family he is talking about marriage. I just want you to know Morrocco, Egypt etc. are poor countries. When I went to Egypt I felt rich. Our money was worth at the time 6 times more there. For example $100.00 equals 600 pounds. The cost of living is dirt cheap and in Egypt. an Electronic Engineer gets about 1000 pounds a month which equals about $166.00 USD to live.

I was just giving you a little history since a lot of people like to talk about them being after a green card and money. I must say some do but do you blame them? They just want to get to the land of opportunity, but they fail to realize in their country they get health and college free but in America you work for eveything you get. I would go and meet him and his family so you know how he lives and the culture. There is going to be ups and downs in any relationship regardless of a person's religion. I know there is a lot of negativity about Muslim men but there are good ones. Only you can determine that. Lastly you decide what you want.
