Lost in Translation......Reader comment on item: Advice to Non-Muslim Women against Marrying Muslim Men Submitted by Siren (Dominican Republic), Oct 3, 2015 at 16:50 Well, To be honest I was working at a muslim foundation myself. When I met a younger guy they had brung in from Turkey. For studying purposes on a schorlarship. As soon as I saw him, It was like Cupid hit me. I knew he was younger but I found him on facebook and wrote to him and I sort of let him know I was very much into him. turns out he for some reason was not only studying in the country he started working right next to me in my office two months later so all the passion grew. Very much so on my part. He was very quiet never mentioned anything of what I had told him on facebook. Keep in mind we did not become friends on facebook. The more time I spent with him it just grew. He never mentioned anything to me again. I thought he was not interested eventhough we were working together for 2 years. Constantly, he was near me. For 12 hours a day. Finally, I had an issue with my boss and wanted to leave the foundation. I was very upset. Plus being near this man was killing me softly. Because he never mentioned he liked me too. All he stated I will keep it a big secret.. Nothing ever happened between us. Except somehow, i felt sexual tension I really do not know if it was just me. i would do my hair, be fashionable. just for him. Secretly of course. The only compliment I got from him was just once. He told me you are so beautiful. That was it. Never again did I hear that from his lips. Well, since I was arguing with my boss because of a salary raise which never came thrue after two and half years on the job I was desperate to leave. Plus this guy so near me was just too much. The day of my departure which everyone knew about he was there and he was not supposed to be there because that was his day off. He would stop by on saturdays for a little bit perhaps an hour. but that day he was there early. Anyway, I was waiting on my money and left. without, saying good bye to anyone. I saw him go out the door too as soon as I walked towards my car. I sort of forgot about him. Eventhough, after so many months I would go into his facebook from time to time. Just to see his picture. always, silent. In fear he would brush me off or tell my ex co-workers. I thought how unlucky am I in this world? How could he not care? After a full year of us working together in an office just him and I? I thought he is so cold hearted. But I kept on with my life. Well, It turns out that a month ago he contacted me and told me how much he misses me and wants to be with me. He also had an argument with my ex boss and left to Turkey. So he writes from Turkey and tells me he wants to come back but that he is not working and is in bad terms with his father who is very rich. When he writes to me he tries to explain I am not well now. But I miss you so much. At first he told me he was poor, What can I give you? Then after several weeks of talking I got desperate and told him to come to me. he said he needed 150 dollars to complete his airfare ticket. I foolishly sent him 110 dollars. Could not afford more. yesterday. I told him I could not help him any further because I too have economical issues. I pay my car, bills etc... I thought that would be the end. He wrote me back to tell me not to worry that he would get the money to come over because he is still missing some cash and the ticket is 1000, dollars. But that he would get the money somehow. Not to worry. He said not to worry. He just wants to be with me. He was very understanding. Or did he make me believe that? I do not know? Let's wait and see what happens at the end of November when he is supposed to come. I will know the truth of the matter then. Hoping to God this is real and not some joke. If it is a joke on his side. Then we just have to get over it. I am a strong woman but I sent him the 110 dollars because I am inlove with this man. Let's wait and see what happens. This strong woman probably made a mistake in helping him a bit. I certainly hope not. But if it is, I will just move on. That is life. Let's wait to the end of November or Beginning of December to see if he really wants to make it to me. Wish me luck and any advice is greatly appreciated on your part. To be continued......
