Hi Diane

I can't comment too much on KARACHIS but I had dated a Syrian man for quite a long time and felt he was my soul mate and I'm pretty sure that he felt the same. But, when it comes to matters of the heart Arabic family's are a very close knit bunch. They are most likely to follow what the parents say no matter what age. I have known other friends of different Arabic culture (male & female) whose parents would go to the extent of disowning their own children if they married out of their own.

My advice is to tread carefully but enjoy what you have with this guy and if his parents aren't strict and welcome you with open arm go for in it. My mistake was I love to hard to fast without any promises.

My other advice would be talk to him - better to know now than never know at all.

In the end you're the one who knows how you feel.

Hope this helps -take care: )
