Is this love

thank you for sharing your story. I am in the same situation but a little different. He sounds like he loves you and has taken the time. I think if he were out to do more or something under his sleeve he would have already rushed you and not taken this long to get to know you. In my heart it feels real but I don't know but the way you explain it it doesn't seem like you need advice. you already said your answer in the writings. I am also 45 and inlove with a 36 year old persian man I met on Holiday in Dubai. Difference is I am married and so is he. He was my tour guide. I expressed I wanted to be a Muslim and he wanted to help and at the same time we fell in love.

He has told his father and sister, cousins. I have met them via phone. Now it's been 5 months to date and he has asked to marry me and hasn't asked for money. Things just started changing. He doesn't send me poems anymore or makes the effort to say he loves me but sends me emoticons of roses and hearts. He says things hasn't changed and we are progressing. My next step is possibly marry him when I figure my own situation out. I have seen him back in Dubai and plan to see him in a few weeks. Since then he has changed and seems mysterious. he dissappears offline and answers me in riddles like I am suppose to know the answers to everything. i can't read in between the lines but when I do finally figure it out it means moving forward and all is positive. It's like mind games.

Maybe i need help. Unsure if I should go to Dubai in a few weeks. He wants me to meet his father coming in from Iran. I have spoken to his father many times now via phone. I dont know if my persian man still loves me since he doesn't want to say it but says it's in his action. he doesn't have a job and things changed once I sent him a package of stuff from theUS including cash. I don't know but i feel terribly in love with him and I think I am stupid.

Good luck to you as he sounds lovely.
