aww. this jordan man in hurry to marry american woman . you are his exit ticket out of jordan into your country usa. beware this man is a liar! down to the issue here. this jordan man is using all his talent to win your approval. as well goes to all jordanians married to americans. now since you said you are only 2 years older then he. then in this case it is not bad. but..... most all the men marry to younger woman and in blood line ( cousins).

now he is right in some what. in islam men do not have relations outside marriage. which means no boyfriends or girlfriends. but......men wait to marry there choice within year. not in 2 weeks!!! parents choose there brides which is named as being arranged. you do not have to be muslim , but is better if you muslim. be sure you will have major problems down the line being married interfaith beliefs.

if this man is already married. he is forbidden to talk to any woman over the telephone or internet or even in public places. you will find this in the qaran!! by his age i am guessing he in his 30's as you state on your age. by this age in jordan is uncommon still be single. men usually marry young around 20 in age. his parents will have to approve you in marriage.

but i hate to describe this way for you, you be better off marry someone from your own country. most men internationally only marry american women of being desperate to come into the usa for a better life and of course money, lots of it! if you travel to any middle eastern country or north africa or asia. you will find how lucky you are being american!

i am 26 years jordan man. of course i am married to my cousin right here in jordan. this is our customs and ways in life..... my opinon is to look elsewhere.
