To Pauline - a reality check

Submitted by Isis (Australia), May 24, 2009 at 03:34

Pauline, I did not meet my Egyptian man on the internet. I met him in person, in Egypt, through a western friend and got to know him for at least a year before the connection developed into a relationship. You say your internet Egyptian has money and education behind him but there is nothing to prove that - only what he is telling you. He is already talking about you helping him to get a visa to the UK and you haven't even met in person! Internet relationships usually result in the western women devoid of money and a relationship and you just need to read the stories on here to get a complete understanding of this concern. All we are saying is that there are too many red flags in your situation and if you choose to ignore them that is your choice.
