I could not agree more..

Love is wonderful, but when you wake up, the real life is waiting for you.

I also have met mister wonderful in Egypt. He is real, love at first sight happened, I really have met a man I was dreaming about my whole life. Warm, gentle, honest, good business men, good looking... after a while he asked me to marry him, how wonderful... :) magical month after month.. some over e-mail, some over the phone, from time to time a week here or there together.. I was happy :) really :) But as much as I am a dreamer I am realistic, too. Diferences in religion, in the way of life, in philosophy, where to live, how to bring up our children we would like to have... hoooooo... think it over! Do it twice!

All the stories are beautiful to listen.. so I wanted to try him out with some realism. He failed the simple test... regarding his love for me... is he able to except my Christianity and my EU kind of life (I am normal EU girl), and not trying to change me slowly into the obedient Muslim housewife, because I am willing to except him as he is, completely.

Maybe I was to direct, but.. I needed an answer.

And I got the answer. :)   

He disappeared.



Better sooner than later. :) I say. And I think he showed me his truth. So I have saved myself a lot of trouble.



I am not saying all of them are the same... but if you believe in your relationship and you want to have a happy life with him, check out what both of you are able to accept, both of you able to overlook.



From my side.. I really wish you all the best, because I do believe in love. :)

that is bull. I love an egyption man, and he DOESNT want me to go to egypt. He never said any of those things. and he doesn want all of our kids to be muslim. not all egyption men are like that.

hi carrie

Although I'm an Egyptian man i agree with Debbie you have to be carful don't let love blind you

fro example i saw an American woman married to a Egyptian man and they are happy together although he lives here in Egypt because of his work and she is i America cause of her work she admitted if she can find work for her in Egypt she would spend the rest of her life her so it depends on your look to this man and his credibility specially we are facing an economic recession makes every man wants to get out of here

This is Amr from Egypt am afraid that you have been very aggressive in your answer what i can tell you that the case that you have presented here, can go with any nationality Mexicans,Jamaicans or what ever,beside if you are getting married just because you meet some one on the internet then its totally your fault even if you are married to an american, the next time when you find an Egyptian who wants to marry you dont run :) and try to know his real intentions because he might be the love of your life and you might miss a great chance in happiness,

I have learned not to get too serious when it comes to online relationships.  Be very very cautious about what you do for this man.  If he is muslim and you are not I would not reccomendcontinuing the relationship further until you read into the expectations muslim men have for their women.  I myself am talking to a man who is form Egypt...I haven't asked him any questions regarding his faith bc right now it is nothing serious...other than lonel nights.  I think that if he were to want to pursue something further I woud question him and would not even move there.  It is a totally different world and nothing what you might be told.  You must have a strict rules for him before ou do anything let him know if you are a christian and refuse to change your faith.  If the man I am talking to would not convert to Christianity and move to me ready to accept the lifestyle I have then I would walk away.  Just be careful please.
