Dear Graciela,

Even if you love him,wait for a while and find out how he is.It's very difficult to determine the period of observation but you will get a clear picture.I am not trying to scare you but it's better to not trust people who appear very loving.Mind well,a girl is to enter THEIR family and they have to put on their charm.Many girls have been enticed into matrimony only to regret later.Appearance,qualification,job might appear very attractive,especially the appearance( exotic,manly,very romantic personality etc.).Once in you might find it difficult to get out,especially if there are children.There are cultural differences and they can't be bridged by love alone.You might see many such couple and actually believe that they are happy.Some of them could be but there are others who separate 12 years after marriage.Once you are in their country,you are helpless.Are your parents meeting his parents too?What will be their reading then?

Regards,
