Thank you again for responding to my questions. I am Canadian, so obviously, the political climate is not as much as a minefield here than it is in the US.

Steph, i also appreciate your perspective on this.. its better to be cautious than not. In the past I spoke with a Moroccan man, and while much more European... it wasn't two weeks and he was asking me to marry him and to go to Western Union with $$...Sheesh!!!! And this from a young, good looking, able bodied, well off male.

The syrian has also said that he doesn't want children as I have made it clear that I am DONE!. His response was "There are already too many children in this world..and if things worked out, I would love your children as mine." (Isn't THIS what a single parent wants to hear? lol)

I spoke with him again, and he is trying to find work. I feel so badly that life has to be so hard, but I am also aware that I am not his caregiver, and he is a victim of circumstance.

I will never bring up money to him again... he has been VERY clear that me helping him financially is not an option. However, my eyes are open to this possibility in the future.

This site is an excellent source for info sharing. Thank You.
